Certification Requirements

Live Track

  • Attendance of at least three of the four live events (including the first and last)
  • Attendance of at least 75% of teleclasses (pod calls and masterclasses) live and the remaining 25% via the recordings
  • Demonstration of skills during live events
  • Positive Peer feedback
  • Log a minimum of 50 client sessions (minimum 25 hours) from the beginning of the course, including at least 15 paid sessions
  • Completion of 3 mentoring review sessions with a faculty member, that includes a review of a 30 minute coaching session of your choosing (included in the cost of the program)

Additional clarification on the coaching logs:

Log a minimum of 50 client sessions (minimum 25 hours) from the beginning of the course, including at least 15 paid sessions
While the ideal would you be to far exceed this number to get the most out of your training, if you’re planning to scrape by the skin of your teeth (not recommended, literally or metaphorically), here’s some more detail:
You must have at least 50 sessions recorded on your log
Each session must be a minimum of 30 minutes in length; there is no maximum length. To count as a coaching session, the person being coached must agree to being coached. (i.e. no deep conversations in the bar that you later decide were ‘essentially’ coaching sessions :)
At least 15 of those sessions must be paid. It does not matter how much you receive, simply that the session has been paid for in actual money (as opposed to barter or trade)
You must coach a minimum of 10 different people within your 50 sessions; a maximum of 5 of your sessions can be with fellow classmates (please don’t charge each other!)
Group coaching sessions count as one session, regardless of the size of the group. Each day of each group coaching would count as one session.
Any further questions or clarifications, please ask your pod leader!

Advanced Track

  • A minimum of 250 hours coach training – by attending both a previous SCA and the Advanced Track in 2016, you will automatically qualify for this
  • A minimum of 125 hours of client coaching, of which at least 75 must be paid. (Minimum session length of 30 minutes.)
  • Your coaching hours must come from at least 10 different clients, at least 6 of whom have paid you for coaching. Please identify paid clients in the log.
  • Three 30 minute recorded sessions to be reviewed by Michael and/or Barb with a 30 minute supervision session following each.
  • You must be paying for and receiving regular coaching/supervision. This does not have to be with a certified transformative coach; however, it does need to be with a principles-based practitioner. If you have any questions or are unsure if your coach/mentor qualifies, please contact us!
  • Attendance at a minimum of 3 of the 4 live sessions, including the first and last.
  • The development of a community based project to include a presentation sharing the process and results on the final weekend.
