(openPR) - • „around Coaching quality to secure, no way leads past Professionalisierung! “

• Federation-independent ICF certifying is open also to non-members

• ICF members are subject to a certification obligation since beginning of the year



Berlin/Wiesbaden, 6. March 2006 - With its ends past yearly published study „the Scharlatanerieproblem - Coaching between problems in quality and Professionalisierungsbemühung “provided that Hamburg organization sociologist Professor Dr. Stefan cool in the past weeks for attention and partial violent discussions in the German Coaching scene. Contradiction experiences Professor Kühl now on the part of the German section that internationally Coach Federation (ICF): The professional association sees in the Coaching industry to observing Professionalisierungsbestrebungen - whose effectiveness is drawn by Professor Kühl substantially in doubts - as indispensable instrument of the quality assurance on. „The only solution of Stefan of the cool rightfully ‚Scharlatanerieproblems diagnosed' exist in a consistent Professionalisierung of the Coaching occupation “, avowed Marius Hansa, member of the board of the ICF Germany, today in Wiesbaden. In particular around sake, essential, from client view transparency continue to lead past, so Hansa, a Professionalisierung of the career profile no way; „straight in times, in which even the activity is at some places called of ‚super Nannys' Coaching. “

From view of the ICF a neutral certifying independent of the membership in certain professional associations can be attained best suitably, the goal of the Professionalisierung. Marius Hansa referred already in this connection to those 1998 introduced three speed ICF certifying, which not only internationally the furthest common, but also only Coaching certifying recognized world-wide is. „In many international companies and organizations, for example at IBM and NASA, a ICF certifying is a compelling condition for the admission into the Coaching pool “, stressed Hansa. The neutral character of ICF certifying is ensured by the fact that their acquisition is not internationally bound for Coach Federation to a membership in that; rather also federation-independent Coachs as well as members of other federations could let themselves be certified by the ICF - with nevertheless scarcely 17 per cent of the owners of a ICF certifying concern it at present non-members of the federation.

The ICF imposes extremely strict standards since beginning of this yearly with its own members: Each ICF member is obligated to complete one of the three ICF Zertifizierungsstufen within three years - of at the beginning of off of 2006 counted -. With these three stages it acts over „Associate Certified Coach “(ACC), „Professional Certified Coach “(PCC) and „master Certified Coach “(MCC). Who does not keep this target, the exclusion from the federation threatens. „With this rigiden measure, which looks for their-same in the Coaching industry, we make an immensely important contribution to the Professionalisierung of the career profile and thus for the quality assurance by Coaching services “, commentated to ICF Germany member of the board Marius Hansa the certification obligation introduced by its federation.


Internationally the Coach Federation (ICF) was created 1992 in the USA and is today with more than 9,500 members in 70 countries - under it 17 states of Europe - the largest international Non profit organization for professional Coachs. ICF Germany gives it since 2001, at present counts the German section of approximately 70 members. A condition of the ICF membership are proofs of founded Coaching training as well as the current activity as a Coach. Besides each ICF member is obligated to complete within three years one of the three ICF Zertifizierungsstufen. ICF certifying, already 1998 imported, is internationally the furthest common and at the same time only Coaching certifying recognized world-wide. In numerous international companies and organizations (for example IBM and NASA) a ICF certifying is a condition for the admission into the Coaching pool. Certifying is not bound to a membership; also federation-independent Coachs as well as members of other federations can let themselves be certified by the ICF. It serves the neutrality of the ICF also that the federation does not operate own institutes for training.
