Accreditation demonstrates to participants and clients that your course meets recognized professional standards, supports the AC Coaching Competencies, and aligns with the Global Code of Ethics. It adds credibility and helps attract learners who want a quality-assured qualification.

AC accredits Coach Training Programmes to ensure they meet AC standards and offer a blend of practical and theoretical learning. Levels include AACT (Award in Coach Training), ACCT (Certificate in Coach Training), ADCT (Diploma in Coach Training), and AADCT (Advanced Diploma in Coach Training).

This depends on who your training is for and the number of hours it covers. Options include Coach Training, Accelerated Coach Training, Team Coach Training, Coach Supervisor Training, and Recognized Leader as Coach — each with its own criteria.

Typically 6–9 weeks from submission, though some applications are completed sooner depending on the completeness of the submission.

The main distinction is that ACTA allows your graduates to fast-track their individual accreditation, while CTA graduates follow the standard individual accreditation timeline. ACTA is ideal if you want to offer added value to your learners through quicker access to professional credentials.
