The ICF ACC Credential package is a great start for people with little or no coaching experience, although experienced coaches often take this track as well. This ICF-accredited program provides coursework in the foundations of coaching, including opportunities for practice and the study of ethics. It includes a deep dive into applied positive psychology and fulfills the coach training requirements for ICF’s ACC credential.
Upon successful completion of all requirements you will receive Positive Acorn’s Certified Positive Psychology Coach endorsement.
