The purpose of the IIC is the harmonization and improvement of the quality of Coaching and Coach Training. In the field of continual professional development, the IIC will serve this purpose by consolidating and improving training standards, advocating the need for Government regulation of Coaching and improving accessibility to accreditation for professional Coaches. The practical instrument to improve the quality of accreditation will be the establishment of a standard benchmark for Coaching Accreditation.

The IIC provides accreditation for Coach Training Organizations directly, and will connect with the emerging national accreditation bodies. As such it does not supersede the national authority on accreditation of Coaching, nor does it create another layer of bureaucracy. Rather the IIC will work in conjunction with the emerging national accreditation bodies.

The IIC’s Accreditation Team will link the accrediting bodies participating in the IIC’s Vision of Effective and Valuable Coaching Services and Training facilities. The IIC is committed to defining the Coaching Industry as an independent and valuable industry.

The IIC is a learning organization and as such continually reviews all aspects of the organization to facility the effective forward movement of Coaching.
