A polished certificate doesn’t always tell you what a coach can do.
Some coaching programs award a certificate for completing a course. Others lead to credentials that require experience, evaluation, or an exam. Knowing the difference can help you choose training that fits your goals.
In this Ultamize Discover episode, TJ Walker shares a practical guide to evaluating coaching certificates and credentials before you spend your money.
This episode includes:
**Certificate, Certification, Accreditation, or License?** Learn how these terms differ and why completing an accredited training program does not necessarily mean you have earned an individual credential.
**The Four-Question Credential Test** Find out what to ask about who issues a credential, what you must demonstrate, whether your intended clients recognize it, and what it costs in time and money.
**How to Choose a Credential That Fits Your Goals** Explore coaching credential organizations, including the International Coaching Federation and the European Mentoring and Coaching Council. Consider which credentials are relevant to the clients and industries you want to serve.
