Certifications are becoming more important in the world. GISC will help coaches meet these demands while engaging in profound learning experiences. We are pleased to offer a curriculum leading to a GISC Advanced Coaching Certification. This is a program for new and experienced coaches to support their continuing professional development and expertise.
Curriculum
The curriculum expands your ability to work with your clients in a thought-provoking, creative and optimistic process that offers them increased awareness and a pathway to meet their goals. The programs are based on Gestalt theories and behaviors and the core competencies of the International Coach Federation.
In addition to the Competency Development Program for Coach Certification, the certification process includes a series of four additional required advanced programs which do not need to be taken in any specific order. Consideration will be given to those participants who have taken the advanced programs before taking the initial core program, Competency Development Program for Coach Certification: Skills for High Impact Coaching.
