Our participants receive rigorous training to learn the masterful application of coaching skills. No detail is overlooked, no effort avoided. Our sole focus is developing highly competent coaches and creating a foundation for lasting influence.
The highest skilled coaches demand the highest quality coach training.

A credentialed coach demonstrates not only knowledge and skill, but also a commitment to high professional standards and strong code of ethics. A credential adds credibility to you as a coaching professional.
Your professional coach credential is an important step in personal and professional development. Being a credentialed coach means that you have invested significant time and effort into ensuring that you adhere to commonly accepted standards for the coaching profession. You are not simply “hanging out a shingle” and calling yourself a coach. You are a professional and have undergone rigorous training and practice in the art and science of coaching.
Your credential is additional assurance for your clients that you are a trained coach, and you have met the requirements to earn an endorsement from a credible training organization. Credentialing says that you are serious about your profession and that your clients can expect an excellent experience with you.
Your credential strongly supports the coaching profession and you are contributing to its standardization and stability. Credentialing shows that you value connection and accountability and that you are willing to submit yourself to the scrutiny of a self-regulating profession. For onlookers (those who are either interested or critical), the more coaches who become credentialed, the more the profession is taken seriously.
From the beginning, CCE’s vision has been to provide the finest coach training possible and to offer coach credentialing. A key step for accomplishing both of these goals was aligning our training standards with ICF requirements. Founded in 1995, the International Coach Federation (ICF) is one of the leading global organizations dedicated to advancing the coaching profession by setting high standards, providing independent credentialing, and building a worldwide network of credentialed coaches. With more than 30,000 members, ICF’s goal is to maintain a solid direction, presence and professional voice for coaches.
Aligning our training standards with ICF gives you confidence that we uphold the highest standards in training and credentialing and offers you the opportunity to apply for an ICF credential.
The Center for Credentialing & Education is a mission driven not-for-profit organization focused on advancing access to professional development, adding value to business organizations and supporting the work of behavioral health licensing boards.
This focus aligns with our values and high standards for Coaching Certification.
We, at the Center for Coaching Excellence, are honored to be in partnership and to offer the BCC credentialing through our Essential and Essential-Associate Training paths.
