WABC knows that coaching training must meet the rapidly changing demands facing businesses and organizations of all kinds around the world. To meet this need, WABC offers the prestigious WABC Accredited qualification at many levels to support the development of independent professional business coaches and leaders-as-coaches.
To earn any of the levels, programs must offer either business coach or leader-as-coach training as the main focus of their curriculum, be delivered at a professional level of engagement and meet our professional standards and rigorous assessment process.
Our WABC Accredited levels – rooted in real-world organizational and business needs – cover a wide breadth and depth of development in professional business coaching and leader-as-coach coaching. Becoming WABC Accredited will take your open enrollment program to the next level or enhance your internal program’s relevance.
If you’re offering a training program focused on developing leaders-as-coaches who represent many professional roles (e.g., leader, manager, supervisor) and who wish to integrate core leader-as-coach coaching skills within their leadership skill set for greater impact, we offer two levels of program accreditation. If you offer our Level 2, your graduates are eligible to earn a WABC credential.
If you’re offering a training program focused on developing professional business coaches who represent many professional roles (e.g., leader, manager, internal or external business coach, external consultant), we offer three levels of program accreditation to match their progressive development from practitioner, to advanced, to master. Your graduates are eligible to earn a WABC credential.
If your training develops professional business coaches at practitioner-level, this is the level for your program. Level 1 focuses on developing the practice elements of business coaching and is for participants who either have had little or no previous business coaching experience, or who already have some business coaching experience that they now wish to consolidate fully with best practice. Your graduates are eligible to earn the RCC credential.
If your training develops professional business coaches at advanced-level, this is the level for your program. Level 2 focuses on consolidating technical skills and advanced development to enable participants with more business coaching experience to provide a fuller professional scope of practice and to work to more diverse agendas. Your graduates are eligible to earn the CBC credential.
If your training develops professional business coaches at master-level, this is the level for your program. Level 3 focuses on fully exploring current approaches, methodologies and theories to enable participants with significant business coaching experience to provide a significant professional scope of practice and to work to open agendas. Your graduates are eligible to earn the CMBC credential.
If your training program develops leaders-as-coaches, this is the level for your program. Level 1 focuses on developing core coaching skills within the context of a leadership role and is for participants who either have had little or no previous experience with coaching, or who already have some leader-as-coach coaching experience that they now wish to consolidate fully with best practice.
If your training program develops leaders-as-coaches at certified-level, this is the level for your program. Level 2 focuses on developing core coaching skills within the context of a leadership role and is for participants who either have had little or no previous experience with coaching, or who already have some leader-as-coach coaching experience that they now wish to consolidate fully with best practice.
