Why Take the Advanced Topics In Coaching Ethics Course?
Earning CCEs is an essential part of maintaining your ICF certification, and this program helps you move one step closer. Of the 40 CCE hours required every three years, at least 3 must be in coaching ethics—this course helps you check that box by earning 4 CCEs.
Whether you’re working toward certification renewal or simply strengthening your ethical expertise, this course is an invaluable opportunity to grow as a professional coach.
Unlike typical ethics courses that focus on theory alone, this interactive mastermind-style experience also explores the real and nuanced situations that coaches encounter in the field—both internally within organizations and externally with individual clients.
