Coaching expertise can come from many directions. You may be eligible if you’ve completed or engaged in:

• Accredited coach training with other providers
• Internal leadership or coaching programs in your organization
• Graduate studies in psychology, adult learning, communication, or counseling
• Professional experience applying coaching skills in leadership, HR, OD, or consulting
• Soft skills training in areas like emotional intelligence, conflict resolution, or active listening

We recognize that competence is not just taught—it’s earned through reflection, practice, and meaningful experience.

If accepted into the Assessment-Only Track, you’ll engage in a supportive, rigorous process to showcase your growth:

1. Submit a Portfolio
   Document your coaching experience, learning journey, and alignment with Global IOC’s learning outcomes.
2. Demonstrate Your Coaching
   Engage in a behavioral interview with a coaching supervisor to bring your practice to life.
3. Receive Feedback & Reflect
   Get tailored feedback from a certified assessor and reflect on your strengths and opportunities for continued development.
4. Earn Your Certification
   Once competencies are verified, you’ll receive the same respected Global IOC credential as full-program participants. If gaps emerge, we’ll recommend targeted steps so you feel both recognized and resourced.

• Coaches who have trained elsewhere and want recognized certification
• Experienced leaders or HR professionals using coaching every day
• University-trained professionals with strong interpersonal and facilitative skills
• Individuals who’ve walked unconventional paths to coaching excellence

If you’ve been doing the work, you deserve the recognition. We’re here to make sure you get it—with dignity, fairness, and respect.

We are the bridge between scholarship and practice, built by professionals who understand that real learning happens in boardrooms, classrooms, living rooms, and sometimes, the school of hard knocks. Our approach is rigorous and discerning—but always human.

We don’t just credential coaches. We recognize your journey and equip you for the impact still ahead.
