Put your hands together for Jamie Nicholls! Hey everyone, welcome to my Shiny Minds Show. Hello everyone, my name is Shiny Unsal. I am the proud creator of Neuroshine Technology, ICF Master Certified Coach, ICF Accredited Coach Trainer, and a licensed trainer of Neuro-Linguistic Programming. Today our topic is the ICS 2022 updated regulations for the coaching world. There is a lot going on in the coaching industry and especially after COVID-19 with the great resignation. A lot of people, they want to create their own business and they want to work from home. And you might be one of them. You might be wondering if you can create a coaching business. You might be wondering what it takes for you to become a coach. And maybe you are wondering if this business or the coaching industry itself is going to stay around for a while. Right? Let me start by saying today, as of 2022, according to the research of the International Coaching Federation, the coaching industry is a multi-billion dollar industry and it is just the starting point. That's why I want you to be updated and I want you to be informed about what is changing in the world of coaching. Where is this coaching industry going and why you should care. So if you're ready, I am going to share 4 updated ICF regulations with you. When you are ready, let's begin. Number 1, ICF has updated their terminology, so you will not hear ACTP or ACSDH, that kind of terminology anymore. If you go to the ICF website right now, you are still going to see that ACTP stands for Accredited Coach Training Program, which is a full training program that helps you walk out as an ICF certified coach. But right now, instead of ACTP, ICF is actually transitioning to a simpler terminology which is called Level 2. So ACTP is going to be replaced by Level 2. And ACSCH, which stands for Accredited Coach Specific Training Hours, now is going to be replaced by Level 1. As I said, if you go to the ICF's website right now, you are still going to see ACTP and ACSCH because this year, the year of 2022, is the year of transition. Starting from 2023, you will not see these acronyms. You are not going to see no more ACTP, no more ACSDH. You are only going to see Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, and CCE. The difference between ACSDH and Level 1 today is that with the ACSDH, which is Accredited Coach specific training hours, you used to be able to combine your training hours and get a different mentor coaching experience somewhere, and it was almost like an à la carte option for you. Right now it is not happening. After— again, this year is a transition year. After this year, starting from 2023, there won't be ACSTH programs anymore. There will only be Level 1 trainings and they are going to be the pathway for you to get your ACC credential as a coach. ACC stands for Associate Certified Coach and if you want your ICF accreditation as the ACC accredited coach, you need to graduate from a Level 1 approved certification program from the ICF. So I know it might look a little bit confusing, but what you need to remember is that no more ACTP, no more ACSDH. Level 1 is gonna make you an ACC coach. Level 2 is going to make you a PCC coach. And now there is a new level, Level 3, which is going to help you to become a master certified coach. And there will be CCE, which is the continuing coaching education, for you to keep renewing your accreditation with the ICF. Number 2: 50/50 delivery, which actually got updated right after the COVID-19 pandemic that we experienced in the world. Why did they switch from 80/20 to 50/50? Because now we live in a world that is actually limiting our interactivity and forcing us to be more at home and more like self-study and self-growth and self-paced kind of like growth. ICF acknowledges that and ICF wants you to build your skills regardless of where you are in your coaching skills. So right now, as of 2022, you can go through a coaching education program and you can finish 50% of that program live, interactive, synchronous. That's what ICF calls it, the synchronous teaching style, and half of it asynchronous, which means that you can actually self-study, you can do your other materials and research and practices. So 50/50 is now available, which is actually great news because that also gives you more flexibility in the time, in the weird times that we are actually living as humanity. Number 3: CCEs are only for renewal purposes. What does that mean? CCE stands for continuing coaching education, and it used to be that once you go through a CCE program you would still be able to mix and match all your training hours, all your mentor coaching sessions, and all your experiences together and apply for your ICF accreditation as a coach. And it still is like that today in the year of 2022. And again, starting from 2023, you won't be able to finish a CCE accredited program and apply directly for your ACC accreditation or PCC accreditation from the ICF. The CCE-approved programs are only going to be used for the purpose of renewing your certification, your accreditation with the ICF. So if you have the goal and the purpose of combining all your previous coach training hours, your certification programs, maybe your individual mentor coaching sessions with your ICF mentor coach. And if you want to put them all together and apply for your accreditation from the portfolio path, this is the year to do that because after that things are going to be different. So you want to take action immediately. Last but not least, now ICF is offering a completely new program which is called Level 3 for people who want to pursue their MCC accreditation. MCC, as you know, stands for Master Certified Coach, and for any professional coach who wants to receive their MCC credential, they have to go through this specific program, and that is going to be the pathway for their accreditation with the ICF as a Master Certified Coach. So these are only 4 updates that I am sharing with you today. There are more, and of course they are complicated a little bit if you are not familiar with the world of the International Coaching Federation, but they are not difficult.
