PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE is essential

Mastery comes over time and diverse experiences—simply counting coaching hours doesn’t accurately measure impact.

Because the RCC credential specifically prepares you for business coaching in any kind of business or organization across sectors and industries, an appropriate professional background is essential to ground your coaching in real-world situations.

You may be a leader, manager or supervisor providing internal coaching to your direct reports, teams and clients.
You may be a dedicated internal coach or external coach operating within business or organizational environments, either for your employer or with a variety of clients.
You may be a professional, such as a consultant, healthcare provider, specialist or trainer, offering additional services to your clients.

No matter your business or organizational context, your professional experience is the foundation for pursuing any WABC credential.

Let’s see if RCC is right for you – to be a match:

You have no business coaching experience and are looking to start your career in coaching, or
You have some business coaching experience and now wish to consolidate your practice fully with best practice, or
