The mark of distinction for business coach training providers™
WABC Accredited® is the first and only international accreditation that is designed exclusively for business coach trainers, built around business coaching competencies and conferred by a business coach association. To become WABC Accredited, a training program has to undergo rigorous independent assessment and regular re-evaluation.
WABC's accreditation designations set the highest standards for international business coaching. The programs awarded this distinction, whether at the Practitioner, Master or Chartered level, meet the highest international standards for the professional development of business coaches.
