Coaching, Consulting & Specialized Professional Expertise

Coach and consultant training, credentialing and defined development programs.

Sector overview

Coaching and advisory professions often lack a single regulator, which makes independent review of training and credentials valuable to buyers. CHSPS can review coach-training courses and providers, coaching or consulting credentials based on assessed competence, and assessment-based certificates. CHSPS does not accredit a consultancy's client services or advice.

How applicability is assessed

  1. Describe what you operate. The program, credential, education offering or system — not just your sector.
  2. CHSPS confirms pathway and scope in writing. The free eligibility review records exactly what would be reviewed and what is excluded.
  3. Only an independent decision creates accreditation. Listing here, inquiry, payment or evidence submission does not.
