The Systemic Team Coaching® Master Practitioner Diploma is accredited by the EMCC as a TCQA at Senior Practitioner level. We understand that the ICF may be introducing an Advanced Certification in Team Coaching for ICF credential holders in 2023, which will comprise an application (including evidence of team coaching training) and exam. So far, they have conducted and are reviewing a pilot programme. This Certification will be an addition to their core accreditation (ACC, PCC, MCC) – not a stand-alone Team Coaching accreditation. At the time of writing, this certificate is not publicly available despite a number of advertisements and courses stating otherwise.
The ICF will discontinue the awarding of Approved Coach Specific Training Hours (ACSTH) for programmes commencing after December 2022.
As mentioned above, at present there is no plan within the ICF to provide specific team coaching programme accreditation (in contrast to both EMCC and AC).
The STC programmes have consistently exceeded the requirements for ICF skills and core competencies for many years, are aligned with ICF team coaching competencies and already carry accreditation with the EMCC at Practitioner and Senior Practitioner level, we do not anticipate changes to our programme structure or content
