Individual and Institutional Accreditation

Coaching

For a coaching program to be accredited by ACMP, it must include a certain number of hours, depending on the general accreditation body the school plans to adhere. We typically accredit programs that are compliant with ICF or EMCC standards.

For a program to be considered, the curriculum must include constructivist theory and techniques and must be administered by accredited coaches. To apply for institutional accreditation, one must first be accredited as an individual member as a coach (see instructions below).
