FAQs

Common questions about our certification programs

What is the minimum requirement to take SPRC?

There are no prerequisites for the Senior Professional Resilience Coach (SPRC)™ certification course; however, participants may benefit from some post-secondary education and/or prior work experience.

What is the time commitment for the Senior Professional Resilience Coach (SPRC)™?

The Senior Professional Resilience Coach (SPRC)™ program typically takes 3-4 hours per week for 6 modules. You will learn through on-demand videos, live calls, homework and practical hands-on learning with your own client. The SPRC program is paced so you can complete it and attend the 3-day business bootcamp in 6 weeks, even while working full-time.

How much of the courses are theory vs hands-on learning?

The International Association of Career Coaches (IACC)® prides itself on offering the most practical certification training on the market.

In our Senior Professional Resilience Coach (SPRC)™ certification, we’re focused on helping you build the essential skills to excel in the discipline of coaching resilience.

While you will learn some theory to understand the “why” behind each skill, our teaching methods are practical, with live feedback and support available from your instructor to help fine-tune your skills.

You can expect to get:

  • Scripts
  • Templates
  • Sample Client Worksheets
  • Realtime feedback
Do I get to meet and interact with other participants?

Yes! You get the opportunity to participate in weekly live cohort calls with active members of the community discussions on the IACC’s online forum.

If you want to continue connecting with your instructors and the IACC community of coaches, we welcome you to join our community for graduates and continue your learning and progress alongside a community of your peers.

‍

Should I attend the 3-day Live Business Bootcamp for each course I complete?

If bundling multiple courses one after another, we recommend that you attend once after your first program. 

If it has been a significant amount of time since you completed your previous certification and attended the 3-day Live Business Bootcamp, you are welcome to attend the bootcamp again as Cara is always updating the tools and content. Iin addition, you may find you approach the bootcamp differently the second time around (it’s always a great opportunity to ask new questions and absorb new ideas).

‍

How large are the SPRC cohorts?

The Senior Professional Resilience Coach (SPRC)™ cohorts typically have 6-10 participants, so we can ensure each student gets the individual support they need to succeed as a coach upon graduation.

When does the next SPRC cohort start and end?

The next SPRC cohort officially begins on May 6th, 2026 and ends June 26th, 2026.

If you are interested in getting your SPRC, we highly recommend joining the upcoming cohort - even if you are busy, have vacations planned etc. - the IACC team will work with you to ensure you are able to get the most out of the program while still maintaining your schedule.
