*We

desire to include international representation on
the certification team.
After
the interview, if the IAC representatives are in consensus
about selecting the application, they will make a
recommendation to the IAC Board. Upon approval, the
applicant will be invited to become a Certifier-In-Training.
A signed confidentiality/non-disclosure agreement
is required before training can begin.
Training
for Certifiers-in-Training
During the training period certifiers-in-training
(CIT) will not receive compensation from the IAC.
Our goal is that the training process be valuable
and help further grow the CIT‘s coaching skills,
as well as teaching them about the certification process.
Phase
1: CIT’s will be asked to score 6 recorded coaching
sessions (the equivalent of 3 applications). After
scoring, the CIT will meet with one or more current
certifiers to compare the results with the official
results and discuss the process, discrepancies, etc.
for the purposes of developing consistency and objectivity.
The current certifier(s) will recommend that the CIT
either be advanced to Phase 2 or review additional
recordings for Phase 1.
Phase
2: In Phase 2, the CIT will “shadow” certification
sessions with current certifiers. The number of shadow
sessions is not pre-determined, but will depend upon
the demonstrated skill level of the CIT. The certifiers
will notify the Lead Certifier when the CIT is ready
to become a full-fledged certifier.
