Only the best in Coach Training

Verified Providers

Be confident that you’re training with a quality and trusted provider

Why does this matter?

Honestly? This is bigger than us.

This is about future proofing the art of human conversation.

The global coaching industry is exploding. In fact, the International Coaching Federation estimates that the industry grew 54% between 2019 and 2022.

And that’s amazing! But, the professional coaching industry remained unregulated. This is leading to more and more “coaching training” that does not necessarily represent quality.

It is our duty to ensure that the the coaching ecosystem remains diverse, equitable and of the best quality.

Otherwise, the profession falls into disarray, and the craft of coaching will become devalued.

Here’s how we measure our Verified Coach Education Partners

  • We check the quality standards of the programmes. We ensure that they align with industry standards and bring value to the learner.

  • We look to establish the unique perspective. What is this organisation known for and how do they demonstrate this.

  • Does the organization align with an ethics and standards framework? How do they support the wider coaching ecosystem?

  • We review how technology is used to enhance the learning experience. We measure the split between self-paced learning and teaching. We look at the ratio of class size.

  • We independently verify reviews with past learners. We ensure there are not any red flags.
