Coaching is a serious profession. Professional coaching focuses on setting goals, creating outcomes and managing personal change. That’s why it’s highly recommended to become a credentialed coach.
International Coach Federation (ICF), the largest global organization of professional coaches with over 20,000 members in 100+ countries, awards ICF credential to coaches who have successfully undergone an Accelerated Coach Training Program. The ICF Credential demonstrates that one’s coaching practice is based on Global Standards and will therefore give him the distinction and the edge over other professional coaches. Moreover, an ICF Credential is similar to a degree or professional designation with global recognition. So with it, you can practice Professional Coaching anywhere else in the world.
In the Philippines, Benchmark Consulting, the country’s premiere coaching, training, and leadership development company, offers Accelerated Coach Training Program (ACTP), one of the few courses in the world approved by the ICF.
To become a credentialed coach, the program gives coaches 60 coach training hours for their Associate Certified Coach (ACC) Application. It is the ONLY training package that comes FREE with the following requirements for ICF credential: (1) 10 hours Mentor Coaching over 3 months, (2) mentoring to surely pass the Written Exam; and (3) assistance in logging coaching hours. Moreover, participants are assured they are learning the ICF Core Coaching Competencies correctly because the mentor coach has an ICF – Master Certified Coach (MCC) credential.
“ACTP has opened my eyes to the real world of Coaching. I had so many misconceptions about coaching before I took the course – that coaching is guiding and mentoring the coachee on what to do, based on the Coach’s expertise of subject at hand and suggesting solutions to issues/problems. I had to unlearn all these after ACTP taught me that Coaching is not content-directive, and it requires an entirely different set of skills and process. Julius is a very effective coach, trainer, and mentor as he practices what he preaches. He is sincere and patient in his approach.” – Alma Horn, Independent HR Consultant; Former Country HR Director at Citibank NA, Philippines.
