What is ICF Certification — and Why Does It Matter?
Erickson Coaching International is one of the world's most recognised ICF-accredited providers. Choosing an Erickson program means your training meets ICF's professional standards from day one.
To earn an ICF credential, you need ICF-approved training hours from an accredited provider. The Art & Science of Coaching Level 2 is an ICF ACSTH (Approved Coach Specific Training Hours) program — meaning the hours you complete count directly towards your ICF ACC application.

ICF credentials — ACC (Associate Certified Coach), PCC (Professional Certified Coach), and MCC (Master Certified Coach) — are the internationally recognised standard for professional coaching practice.

FAQ
What other information should you be aware of when studying at Erickson?
First and foremost, we would like to emphasize that choosing a specialization in coaching is not mandatory at all. Upon completing training at the Erickson UAE, you, as a coach, have the flexibility to work with inquiries from various fields. As you gain experience and practice, you will be able to pinpoint the most engaging niches for yourself and focus on those areas.
The Erickson UAE does not provide clients during training, as prospecting is an additional skill that our students practice during training. As part of the program, our students are required to work in teams of three with assistants, and after completing the first module they can begin to practice with clients. We would be happy to share our own experience of finding our first coaching clients!
