What constitutes a Coaching hour? How do I count my time spent coaching?

Modified on Fri, 20 Oct 2023 at 11:08 AM

A client coaching hour is 60 minutes of actual coaching with a client who has hired you as a coach and not in any other capacity.     

NOTE: Mentor coaching, coaching supervision, and time spent going over assessments with clients are not accepted as a client coaching.  


Client coaching sessions of less than 60 minutes will count as partial client coaching hours. For example, 30 minutes of client coaching will count as 0.5 client coaching hours. Coaching must be done in person or by telephone or other technology that allows for real time interaction between coach and client.   Coaching groups of 15 or less may be used towards the experience hours requirement.  You cannot multiply hours times participants in the group. For example, if you coach 15 people for one hour, you can only count that as one hour of coaching, not 15 hours.
