The IIC (originally the ECI) formed in 1999 as a not-for-profit organisation to be a force for good in coaching; was founded by and continues to be run by professional Coaches.
The IIC is an internationally focused organisation; building, maintaining, raising awareness, and working to promote best practice, while providing value added benefits to its Members.
Coaching clients are able to choose their own Coach from the IIC's directory of Accredited Coaches. The skill sets, competencies, standards and ethics demonstrated by the IIC's Coaches have been designed by mutual agreement between qualified Coaches from across the world.
For students and future students of coaching, the IIC provides you with the
opportunity to find an Accredited Course/Workshop that has been independently
verified by the IIC through the Accredited Coach Training courses and workshops.
