At Inspire Coach Academy, we understand the importance of providing top-tier education and training for aspiring Parent Coaches and Kids Life Coaches. Our journey toward becoming an ACCPH (UK) accredited institution was not an easy path, but it was one built on a foundation of excellence, rigor, and dedication to maintaining the highest industry standards. Through multiple audits, reviews, and strict adherence to global guidelines, we have ensured that our certification programs stand out as one of the best in the world.
What is ACCPH (U.K.)?
The Accredited Counsellors, Coaches, Psychotherapists, and Hypnotherapists (ACCPH) is a renowned professional body in the United Kingdom. It accredits institutions, ensuring that their training and certification programs meet high-quality standards of learning, ethics, and practice. The process of earning ACCPH accreditation is rigorous, involving detailed audits and comprehensive scrutiny of the academy’s curriculum, training methods, and faculty expertise.
Our Audit and Accreditation Process
When we set out to offer certifications at Inspire Coach Academy, we knew that quality and trustworthiness were non-negotiable. We wanted to offer programs that weren’t just theoretical but also practical and impactful. This required us to go through extensive evaluations and audits by the ACCPH. Here’s how we navigated this rigorous process:
-
Curriculum Review and Alignment
The first step in the audit process involved submitting our detailed curriculum to ACCPH for their review. This included all lesson plans, course structures, and module outlines for both the Parent Coach and Kids Life Coach programs. We designed these programs to include not only the theoretical aspects of coaching but also practical, real-world applications that our students could immediately implement.
ACCPH assessed whether our curriculum was aligned with global coaching standards. This involved a thorough review of the course content, materials, and teaching methods. The curriculum was tested for its completeness, accuracy, and relevance in the current coaching industry. Our courses passed through multiple rounds of revisions and enhancements to ensure that every module offered maximum value to our students.
-
Faculty Audits and Expertise
The expertise of the trainers is key in determining the quality of education, and the ACCPH team knows this well. Therefore, they conducted an in-depth audit of our teaching staff. Each faculty member, including myself as the founder and head trainer, was required to submit credentials, certifications, and a record of practical experience in coaching. ACCPH scrutinized every trainer’s background, including their teaching style, qualifications, and impact in the coaching industry.
We underwent personal interviews and provided details of past student success stories, as well as the outcomes of our training programs. The result? Every instructor at Inspire Coach Academy met or exceeded the high standards expected of accredited institutions.
-
Training Methodology Evaluation
A significant part of the audit was focused on how we teach and train. ACCPH required us to showcase our teaching methodology—how we deliver training, how we assess students, and how we ensure that our students can effectively apply what they’ve learned. This process was comprehensive and involved reviewing the live sessions, interactive workshops, and practical assignments we offer.
We presented detailed lesson plans that demonstrated our commitment to hands-on, experiential learning. ACCPH praised our approach of blending theoretical knowledge with real-world practice, ensuring that our graduates leave with both a strong foundation in coaching principles and the ability to implement those principles in their work with clients.
-
Ethics and Professionalism
A key element of the accreditation process is ensuring that institutions adhere to the ethical guidelines that govern the coaching profession. ACCPH scrutinized our code of conduct and ethics policies to ensure that we maintain the highest levels of professionalism in everything we do.
Our students are trained not just to be knowledgeable but also to be ethical practitioners. During the audit, we demonstrated how we educate our students on maintaining client confidentiality, handling sensitive family matters, and fostering a trustworthy, safe coaching environment.
-
Student Success and Feedback
Another critical part of the audit was the evaluation of student success and feedback. ACCPH wanted to know how effective our programs were in preparing students to become certified Parent and Kids Life Coaches. This required us to submit feedback from past students, as well as information about their career progression after certification.
We are proud to have provided numerous success stories of our graduates who have gone on to establish successful coaching practices, impacting the lives of families and children. Our student feedback showed high levels of satisfaction with the program’s structure, the quality of instruction, and the ongoing mentorship we provide.
-
Ongoing Quality Assurance
Accreditation isn’t just a one-time process. ACCPH requires regular audits to ensure that we maintain the high standards that led to our accreditation. This means that Inspire Coach Academy is committed to continuous improvement, updating our curriculum, teaching methods, and student support services to stay at the forefront of the coaching industry.
