Choosing the Right Program

If you want to dive deeper into how to choose the right coaching certification, be sure to check out our free guide: How to Choose the Right Coaching Certification Program

In the meantime, hereunder a list of three non-negotiables and six common pitfalls to avoid. 

Three non-negotiables for your coaching certification program

  • ICF Accreditation
    The gold standard in coaching. Ensure the program is officially accredited at ICF Level 1 (ACC) or Level 2 (PCC) to qualify for fast-track certification in 2-4 weeks (instead of 16+ weeks at higher fees and risks). ICF credentials are not only recognized globally but also often required by organizations as part of HR’s pre-qualification and compliance criteria for selecting coaches.
  • Ready-to-Use Coaching Resources
    You shouldn’t have to create everything from scratch. A strong program provides session guides, client tools, assessments, and tech platforms so you can start coaching right away.
  • Business & Career Growth Support
    Coaching skills are essential—but so is building a business. Ensure your coach training includes branding, marketing, and sales to attract and retain clients and grow your practice.

Six common pitfalls to avoid

  • Assuming all programs are ICF-accredited
    Not all certifications qualify you for ICF credentials. Make sure the program is officially accredited at Level 1 or 2.
  • Overlooking mentor coaching support
    Some programs don’t help you record sessions or charge extra if your recordings aren’t approved. Look for programs that offer unlimited support and clients to practice with.
  • Choosing a non-Level 1 or 2 program
    Level 1 and 2 programs offer a fast-track to ICF accreditation (2-4 weeks) —others take longer (16+ weeks), cost more, and have lower passing rates.
  • Focusing only on theory
    Without real-world coaching practice, like live coaching labs and feedback, you may struggle when coaching actual clients.
  • Believing certification alone gets clients
    Certification is not enough. Choose a program that also teaches business development, marketing, sales, and client acquisition.
  • Not asking the right questions before enrolling
    Dig deeper. Ask about ICF alignment, hands-on support, tools, and post-certification opportunities before you commit.
