LOCALLY AND Internationally accredited LIFE COACH TRAINING

The New Insights Life Coach Training and Certification Programme is both locally and internationally accredited.

We are proud to share these accreditations with you here.

INTERNATIONAL

We are an accredited member of the ICR and carry the prestigious CPD Standard Office accreditation awarded  for high quality training.

SOUTH AFRICA

We have been proud members of COMENSA since 2007. Our training programme has been approved at the Silver level.

UK

We hold accredited course status with the UK-based ACCPH.

Life coaching is currently an unregulated profession.

Membership of a coach representative body or bodies (which are self-regulating) is therefore not mandatory for a life coach to practice.

However, such bodies do play an important role in promoting the industry, raising standards and offering practitioners ongoing professional development opportunities.

Our various accreditations and approvals offer prospective trainee life coaches peace of mind.

 International coaches register (ICR)

ICR Coach Register is a 100% independent international coach representative body based in the Netherlands. It certifies professional coaches and their companies worldwide.

In May 2016, New Insights joined the International Coaches Register (ICR) and was awarded Accredited Agency status.

New Insights certified coaches are readily accepted and welcomed as members of this dynamic and progressive international coaching body, which has a vibrant branch in South Africa.

The cpd standards office

The CPD Standards Office is an international, independent accreditation board, overseen by an Expert Advisory Board comprising professional experts drawn from academia, employers and professional bodies.

In May 2014, after a rigorous assessment process that examined our programme content, systems, supporting documents and delivery processes, New Insights was awarded formal accreditation. New Insights has successfully passed the regular two year check-ups since then to maintain this sought after accreditation. We are CPD  registered provider number 21078.

This is a prestigious award and bears testament to the comprehensive nature and high quality of the New Insights Life Coach Training and Certification Programme.
