Recertification
In order to maintain the standards of excellence and rigor that the New Ventures West certification represents, we ask that our certified Integral Coaches® renew their certification each year. 


Methods you may use to recertify

1.  Write up 3 coaching programs

You may summarize 3 coaching cases, using the same format you used in your certification process.  The outline format can be obtained from NVW. 
  

2.  Attend a qualifying NVW program

Examples of qualifying courses:

3. Attend and document a program offered by another organization

If you would like to use another program to recertify, contact NVW beforehand to get permission to use it.  (Send your request to the Graduate Department.)  Afterwards, you'll need to submit a one- to two-page summary of what you learned and how you will apply it to your coaching practice.

4. Participate on the PCC faculty

If you serve on a certification committee, or you are hired as a phone coach or a pod mentor to work with students in the PCC, your service qualifies you for recertification.  This method is by invitation only.  Please do not call and request to be invited for these posts.

Period of certification


Certification is determined by the calendar year.  Your initial certification is honored for the balance of the year you graduate plus one full additional year.  Therefore, in order to keep current, we ask that sometime during the year after you graduate you participate in one of the above activities.  If you miss re-qualifying before December, the first activity you choose will count for certification for the current year, e.g., You may participate in the January 2010 Coaching Reunion Weekend for 2010 recertification. 

Your activity can only count for the current or the next certification year.  (You may not “recertify ahead,” for instance, take 3 programs in one year and be recertified for the next 3 years.)

Lapsed certification

If your certification lapses for a year, it is fine to take a class or write up programs and recertify for the next year.  If you miss more than a year, please contact us to determine how to get current again.

What Our Graduates Are Saying about the Master Class
"The experience of the Master Class - like all excellent coaching - works gently from the inside out to bring good medicine to a struggling world. What a joy then to be undaunted in a group of brave learners, remembering how compassion, essence, and yes, even longing...lead us toward freedom, toward home."
