Commitment to Excellence and Independent Review
We believe in teaching and adhering to the highest standard of ethics and ICF Core Coaching Competencies. We voluntarily submit our curriculum, faculty qualifications, and policies and procedures. We have done this since the launch of our first CTI in 2010, because we want our coaches to know that our programs are aligned with the high standards they deserve in a training program.
