How EMCC accredited courses differ from individual and team routes
Three EMCC routes are easy to mix up. This page is the EQA coach-training programme only.
EQA — programme accreditation
EMCC Global explains that an EQA recognises the quality of a provider’s training programme. Mission Performance’s programme is EQA20200266, delivered online over six months (75 hours) at Practitioner competence.
Foundation or Practitioner — individual designation
The individual designation is the separate professional recognition a successful participant receives at Foundation or Practitioner level. It is not the EQA. Mission Performance recommends that designation to EMCC Global after a Professional Dialogue.
ITCA / TCQA — team coaching
Team coaching uses different EMCC routes: ITCA for individuals and TCQA for training programmes. This page is not those routes. See EMCC Global’s accreditation routes.
