Yes! The NCC program is accredited as a Level 2 with the International Coaching Federation. ICF offers three levels of credentialing to coaches: ACC (Associate Certified Coach), PCC (Professional Certified Coach), and MCC (Master Certified Coach). Each level requires a certain amount of education hours, mentoring hours, as well as professional experience hours.

Our NCC program meets and exceeds all the standards for issuing PCC level certification and sets our students up for pursuing MCC.

Due to the amount of professional experience hours required for credentialing, most students achieve ACC level credentialing before the end of year 2.

These credentials are internationally recognized, which allows you to work with clients all over the world. The core competencies of Professional Coaching are the gold standard in the coaching field and can be applied into many modalities, including Nature-Connected Coaching.These credentials are internationally recognized, which allows you to work with clients all over the world.
