Launched in 2004, the Professional Coaching Program [PCP] is an
advanced-level certification course for people who have decided to make
executive coaching an important part of their practice. With the goal of adding professional coaching to their internal or external activities, program participants bring experience in counseling, consulting, human resources, organization development, business and other fields.
The PCP course has been awarded continuing coaching education approval from the International Coach Federation (ICF) in the following continuing education categories:
- 35.00 hours ICFCore Competencies
- 24.15 hours Personal Development of the Coach
- 1.4 hours Development of Coaching Practice
- 1.4 hours Other Skills and Tools Directly Applicable to Coaching
The total of almost 62 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) will give participants almost half of the 125 Student Contact hours (SCHs) they need towards ICF certification in the Portfolio Student Category as part of their overall certification towards the Professional Coaching Certification (PCC). Students will still need to meet other criteria towards coach certification in the other coaching categories. For more information about ICF certification, students should see the website of the ICF at www.coachfederation.com.
