ACAC for accredited certification is an accreditation body for training and coaching methodologies or processes applying Executive Education for the enhancement of people and business.
It was started in the United States in the year 2005 to expand the use of Executive Education in business for the benefit of employees and employers alike. It quickly became apparent that to achieve such a goal, the ACAC needed to align itself with the training and consulting industry and eventually the coaching industry.
ACAC for accredited certification is an accrediting body for business based training and coaching. It does not train trainers, coaches or consultants. Nor is the ACAC affiliated with any service provider, methodology or certification. This independence is important for a professional body committed to maintaining the gold standard for certification.
Since the ACAC does not provide training or Executive Education, if a provider or organization which does train and coach has the ACAC accreditation on their certification, organizations can be sure they are getting the highest standard available for business based training, Executive Education and organizational development. And, when trainers or coaches who are ACAC members get their certification from an ACAC accredited training or coaching provider, they will receive both the provider's certification and the ACAC 's Accreditation. Each certified member will receive an ACAC identification card with their specific certification, the ACAC stamp of approval and a certificate credential from ACAC.
Universities are now offering diplomas or Executive Education in training, ACAC is also considering accreditations for these curriculums. When we mention "training or coaching providers", we include Universities in this category
