Certified Coaches Alliance

Founded by coaches for coaches, the Certified Coaches Alliance (CCA) hosts an affiliation of working Coaches from 132 countries. Our coaches span the field of coaching and includes professional and executive coaches, training and coaching service providers.

Dedicated to the highest degree of professionalism and standards in coaching, our mission is to inspire, advocate excellence, and advance the coaching profession through the accreditation of cutting-edge and on-demand coach specialised training programes and representing these programes on an international level.

Wherever you see the CCA Logo, you can be certain that it represents some of the world's best and most successful life coaches, spiritual mentors, and coach-specific training.

The CCA strives to recognize to reinforce an inquiry-based approach to coaching. We endeavour to empower our affiliated coaches to make positive, strengthening choices, enabling their clients to achieve their highest aspirations in both their personal and professional lives.


The CCA continues to develop a new “Coaching in Action," formula which includes:

  • Examining the way, we acknowledge current practices
  • Ways to enhance your existing coaching activities
  • Professional development related to coaching
  • New coaching research
  • New programs pioneered by our affiliated schools of training


What makes the Certified Coaches Alliance particularly unique is its flexible, coach-focused approach. Unlike most certification bodies, the CCA allows coaches to select their own professional designation and be recognized for the specific niche they serve. Coaches are encouraged to promote their own work, brand, and voice—rather than representing the CCA—making their certification a genuine reflection of their individual practice. The CCA supports coaches as independent professionals, without dictating how they should present themselves to the world
.

The CCA's reputation for excellence in coaching is based on clear ethical standards, thorough experiential affiliated coach training, and a commitment to ongoing professional development. The CCA strives to empower our affiliated coaches to make positive, strengthening choices, enabling their clients to achieve their highest aspirations in both their personal and professional lives.
