Over the years, coaching has gained worldwide traction as an acceptable and highly revered career path, including in the African continent, which is at the cusp of socio-economic development. Coaching has wide-spread prospects for personal and professional enhancement, making it an exciting career choice for many, especially the younger generation who are keen at seeking out an unconventional line of work.
To get coaching certification in Africa, one should find an accredited training institute equipped with certified mentors for learning the core competencies of coaching. The accreditation of the institute you choose has a big role to play in this respect.
The International Coach Federation (ICF) is a globally recognized organization that provides accreditation to training institutes and professional coaches. ICF is held in high regard as they also offer credentials to the certified coaching professionals, creating global standards within the coaching practice. Post ICF accreditation, one automatically becomes part of the international community of coaches, which acts as a significant boost to the career.
The Coach Transformation Academy offers ICF coaching and accredited courses worldwide, including Africa, giving you the instant status of being an international coach.
