The Board Certified Coach (BCC) credential is a mark of distinction for credential holders and a source of credibility for their clients. Coach training for a BCC credential has met professional coaching competency standards established by the Center for Credentialing & Education and subject matter experts.

The BCC certification demonstrates to the public that a professional coach has:

• Met educational and training requirements
• Passed a psychometrically sound coach-specific examination
• Obtained experience in the field of coaching
• Professional peer references
• Accountability to an enforceable ethics code
• Commitment to continuing education

The achievement of the Board Certified Coach credential solidifies the professional identity of the coach. The BCC credential is attractive to professionals who would like to provide independent third-party verification that they have achieved certain coaching competency standards.

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.

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.
