For the profession
The Coaching Registry is an independent reference for the profession, built with care by people who believe the right coach can change the shape of someone's year. We review every application by hand, verify professional credentials with the issuing body, and publish clear standards — so the trust you've earned is the trust people find here.

III — How status appears
Your professional status appears identically on your profile, in the directory, and in search results. Coaches working toward an accreditation may display their expected completion date, so visitors can make informed decisions with full transparency.
Badge examples
The Newly Verified badge appears for three months after approval. It is a recognition of recent inclusion only — it never affects search ranking, ordering, or placement.
IV — Why join
As coaching continues to grow, so does the challenge of helping people understand a coach's professional background. The Coaching Registry exists to support trust, clarity, and professional standards within the coaching profession — while making discovery easier for the public.
