EMCC Global accreditation

Accreditation is for both individuals and organisations. It enables individual coaches, mentors and supervisors to have their knowledge and experience recognised with the appropriate accreditation level. And it enables organisations to have their training courses recognised to meet EMCC’s industry standards.

Accreditation and membership with EMCC are separate, with separate fees. Accreditation is managed by EMCC Global, while membership, if you are based in the UK, is managed by EMCC UK.

You don’t have to have both membership and accreditation, but if you are considering accreditation with EMCC Global, it is a good idea to also have membership with EMCC UK, which will help you develop your practice on a continued basis through access to our range of CPD, events and resources. EMCC UK members also qualify for a discounted accreditation rate.
