ICCSB

International Coaching Certification Standards Board™

About Us

In 1997 the International Coaching Certification Standards Board was formed to develop a formal accreditation process for coaching and to advance the areas of coaching specialties.

The ICCSB merged with the National Society of Executive & Business Coaches. The NSEBC began board certification of business and executive coaches in 1989.

The ICCSB increased the board certification from 5 areas of specialties and expanded that to 11 areas of specialties by 2014. The area of specialties will continue to grow as more accredited coaching programs expand.

What they say about us

I was nervous after my accident, but Lighthouse Collision made the entire process stress-free. They handled everything with my insurance and restored my car to perfection. It looks brand new! Highly recommend their professional and friendly team.

From the moment I walked in, I felt reassured that my car was in good hands. The team worked quickly without compromising on quality, and the paint job was an exact match. Their attention to detail is truly impressive!

What I appreciated most was their honesty. They provided a detailed appraisal, kept me updated throughout the process, and delivered exactly as promised. No hidden fees, no surprises—just top-quality work!
