Credentialing
for Coaches

The Professional Coaching field has been operating and doubling in size almost every year, since approximately 1991. There are approximately 25,000 to possibly over 40,000 coaches today. It can be estimated that the approximately 220 coaching schools would produce approximately 11,000 people a year who would consider themselves coaches, if they graduated only 50 coaches per year for each school.

There have been numerous attempts to instill credibility into the profession by requiring coaches to attain various certifications to supposedly create a set of standards and qualifications for coaching. Many of the coaching schools sell additional courses to qualify graduates to obtain coach certifications. Several "Coaching Associations" also provide credentials to their member coaches as an income producing process. Unfortunately, virtually all certifications are sold and most require continued payments, and have become profit generators to create the illusion of greater credibility for the buyers of coach certifications.

A complete Guide to Coach Credentials has been laboriously compiled and expertly presented by Rey A. Carr Ph.D. to provide you a very clear and in-depth Guide to Coach Credentials. He also maintains the current status of credentialing, as it has been expanding rapidly. We encourage you to visit this live report.

In essence, using coach credentialing as a means of selecting a coach
provides little, if any value to you.

Which of the 65 certifications should you consider important? There is really no coach rating scale. How could there be? Coaching is a very personal individual one on one connecting process. A coach someone else rates very high, may not be rated as high by you.

One very important matching condition for you is that the coach you pick is absolutely the right coach FOR YOU, based upon your feelings, and your perspective. This is a very personal and individual connecting process.

TCC has devoted over 2,600 man-hours screening coaches to accept only those coaches who have proved through considerable experience that they can really coach and who possess TCC's specific personal characteristics. TCC has 132 active Member Coaches who have been rigorously screened out of over 1,600 who have applied. And TCC's Member Coaches are constantly monitored and evaluated by TCC clients and TCC to be sure they continue coaching at the exemplary level they reached to be accepted in the first place. (TCC has terminated 29 Member Coaches over the past 62 months).
