Our Professional Coach Training Program
 

 

The Adler Professional Coach Training Program 

is accredited by the International Coach Federation (ICF)*

 

Our professional coach training program begins with our FOUNDATIONS of PROFESSIONAL COACHING COURSE and continues with two additional 5-day courses. Our Phoenix, Arizona teaching location is Arizona State University - West Campus (West of I-17 and Thunderbird Rd). Our Baltimore, Maryland teaching location is TBD.

Once the course work has been completed, students move on to the Practicum, which is s 6-month virtual (via phone conference) learning experience wiith several different components. At the end of that time, students are eligible to take the certification exam once they have logged a mimimum of 100 coaching hours.

Credentials

  • Upon successful completion of Practicum, students receive the designation of ATC– Adler Trained Coach

  • Upon graduation (after passing the exam) students are awarded the credential ACPC – Adler Certified Professional Coach

Graduation as an ACPC satisfies all requirements for ICF’s entry level credential (ACC – Associate Certified Coach), which may be obtained simply by providing proof of graduation and other required documentation, along with ICF’s application and fee.

Adler's Partnership with University of Toronto's Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE)

As of September, 2007, Adler International Learning and OISE have been partnering to issue joint coaching certificates. Adler students will now receive certificates of completion recognized by both learning organizations. For more information, please visit the OISE website.

Student Guidelines

In an effort to promote the most effective learning environment, we have compiled some guidelines that serve to support our professional standards of excellence for our staff as well as our program content and delivery. In coaching as in all relationships, clarity about expectations sets the stage for utually statisfying interactions. It is in this spirit that we set forth these STUDENT GUIDELINES.

 *  Accreditation is awarded to programs that meet the rigorous professional standards established by the ICF  for coach training programs. Graduation from an accredited program meets the ICF requirements for individual coach certification for: student contact learning hours, mentor coaching, and passing an ICF-approved exam. Accreditation does not warrant or guarantee the effectiveness of the training or the student’s ability to build a successful coaching practice.
