Receive your Assemblies of God globally recognized AG Coaching Credential. An AGCC Credential is a professional certification indicating that you have met specific standards and requirements designed to develop and refine your coaching skills. It is an indication that you are dedicated to upholding strong principles of ethical behavior in coaching. An AGCC Credential shows your clients and peers that you are committed to the coaching industry and to developing yourself as a coaching professional.

The 2022 Global Consumer Awareness Study by ICF found that 85% of coaching clients say it’s important or very important that their coach holds a certification or credential. Earning an AGCC Credential provides you with credibility and increased visibility to prospective clients. AGCC offers five credentials levels. Applicants should receive training through a coach training program recognized by AGCC. AGCC has adopted standards that are consistent with the International Coaching Federation (ICF) core competencies by which all training and credentialing of coaches is measured.
