<p>Yes, like the title says, after launching North Point Coaching Academy (NPCA) in January this year, we have now had confirmation from the <a href=”http://www.coachfederation.org” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener noreferrer”>International Coach Federation</a> (ICF) that they have officially accredited the <a href=”https://northpoint.ac/programmedetails/”>Certificate in Professional Coaching</a> programme.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Phew!<img class=”wp-image-4517 alignright” src=”https://northpoint.ac/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/ACSTH_WEB.png” alt=”ICF Accredited Coach Specific Training Hours” width=”390″ height=”133″ /></p>
<p>Sarah and I have come a long way since dreaming of this in September of 2014. And I, for one, feel confident knowing that what we created is of sufficient quality for ICF to give us their accreditation badge to use.</p>

<p>Below are three things that we hope are of interest to you.</p>

<p>Firstly and in celebration of gaining accreditation, over the next 4 weeks we’ll be introducing you to the programme and answering each of the following four main questions in turn. I’ll be giving you my attention next week and week 4 and Sarah, Co-Founder of NPCA, will be giving her input for weeks 2 and 3.</p>
<p> </p>
<p style=”padding-left: 60px”>Week 1: Why? – What’s good about being a coach and learning with NPCA</p>
<p style=”padding-left: 60px”>Week 2: What? – Key subjects in NPCA Certificate in Professional Coaching</p>
<p style=”padding-left: 60px”>Week 3: How? – The steps to becoming a credentialed coach, the commitment required</p>
<p style=”padding-left: 60px”>Week 4: What if? – Top 10 FAQs</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We’d really like week 4 – “What if?” – to speak directly to you. Today, or as each of weeks 1-3 come, send your questions to me at <a href=”mailto:matt@northpoint.ac”>matt@northpoint.ac</a> and we’ll answer the best 10 questions on the final week.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Secondly, here’s a video that we created to explain why we created NPCA and what our inspirations were.</p>
