Credential transparency
WCI and ICF are different pathways.
WCI is an independent coach education and certification system. WCI certification is not an ICF credential, government licence or university qualification.
WCI PRINCIPLE
Bring out the best in people — while managing yourself well enough not to get in the way.
01
What WCI certifies
WCC 1 and WCC 2 award WCI Certificates of Completion when their requirements are met. Professional WCI Wisdom Coach certification is earned through WCT only after every published certification requirement is completed and verified.
02
When an ICF route may be better
If your primary objective is the most direct route to an ICF credential, choose an appropriately accredited ICF education pathway. WCI completion does not automatically qualify anyone for an ICF credential.
03
Why someone chooses WCI
Choose WCI because you want coaching as a life capability first, integrated self-mastery development and professional Wisdom Coaching through WCI’s proprietary DIRECT+ framework.
Good to know
Transparency is part of professional trust.
WCI does not imply equivalence with ICF and does not describe its hours as ICF-accredited training hours unless that status formally exists.
