Editorial Standards
1
Primary source verification
All credential requirements are verified directly from ICF, EMCC, AC, and other credentialing body websites and official documents. We do not republish third-party summaries without direct source confirmation.
2
Expert reviewer sign-off
Every certification page is reviewed by a credentialed coach in our network before publication. Reviewers must hold the credential they are reviewing — not a related credential, the exact one.
3
Quarterly review cycle
Credential requirements change. Every certification page is scheduled for review every 90 days, and any change in primary sources triggers an immediate review and update.
4
Full transparency on limitations
When we're uncertain or when data is outdated, we say so. Each page carries a "Last verified" date and a disclaimer pointing to the primary source credentialing body.
