Why Get Certified?

 
Research indicates that a key success factor for Action Learning programs is having a trained Action Learning coach at the helm. Increasingly, more organizations want their programs conducted by Certified Action Learning coaches (CALC). Professionals can enhance their careers and value to their organizations with a certification in Action Learning from WIAL, the certification organization for Action Learning. There are four levels of certification, each with increased education and requirements.
              • Certified Action Learning Coaches (CALCs) can coach Action Learning sessions
              • Professional Action Learning Coaches (PALCs) have proven their ability as coaches
              • Senior Action Learning Coaches (SALCs) are cleared to lead all WIAL programs
              • Master Action Learning Coaches (MALCs) are considered thought leaders within the Action Learning community.
 

WIAL is an ICF-accredited training provider and the WIAL CALC certification is an accredited ICF CCE program.
