Who is this program designed for?
This program is designed for anyone who leads, influences, or works in environments where safety and human performance matter, EHS and safety professionals, operations leaders, site managers, HR and people leaders, L&D professionals, coaches working in safety contexts, and anyone in a high-risk industry who wants to lead through coaching. It is not exclusively an EHS program; it is a leadership program with safety as its context.
Do I need prior coaching experience?
No. The program introduces coaching principles from the ground up and applies them directly to leadership and safety contexts. You don't need to be a coach, you need to want to lead differently.
How much time does it take each week?
Approximately 6-7 hours per week over 6 weeks: 38+ hours total. This includes structured learning, live sessions, and applied practice between sessions where you take what you've learned and use it in your real workplace. The program is designed to be intensive but focused, every hour is purposeful.
What does assessment look like?
There are three assessments, each designed around real leadership practice. The first is a 40-question multiple choice paper, straightforward, 60 minutes, 70% to pass, and you get two attempts. The second is a short written reflection (900-1,200 words) where you apply what you've learned to a real situation from your own work. The third is a 15-minute recorded conversation showing your coaching skills in action. All three are included with no extra fees and no surprise exam costs. If you're enrolling in Coaching Skills for Safety Leadership, there's no formal assessment.
Will this count toward my CPD?
It may, but we can't guarantee it. Here's what we can say honestly: the full certificate documents 38 structured learning hours, and Coaching Skills for Safety Leadership documents approximately 15 hours. Structured professional development of this kind is recognized by IOSH, BCSP, AIHS, and most professional safety bodies globally for CPD purposes. However, each body has its own rules, and recognition depends on your membership type, your country, and your specific body's requirements. ISCL provides a formal Certificate of Completion to support your CPD submission, but we recommend you confirm eligibility with your own professional body before enrolling if CPD recognition is a key factor in your decision.
What's the status of NEBOSH verification?
We've submitted the full certificate program to NEBOSH for program-level verification and we're waiting on approval — we expect this to come through soon. Once confirmed, full certificate graduates will receive a jointly badged ISCL/NEBOSH certificate. This is a program-level verification, not a standalone NEBOSH qualification. The Coaching Skills pathway is not included in the NEBOSH submission.
Is this an ICF-accredited coaching program?
No. The ISCL Certificate is a professional leadership development program grounded in ICF core coaching competencies, applied specifically to safety and leadership contexts. It is not an ICF-accredited coach training program. If you are pursuing ICF credentials, this program will deepen your coaching practice but does not count toward ICF coach-specific training hours.
What is Coaching Skills for Safety Leadership and what does it include?
Coaching Skills for Safety Leadership covers the first half of the program (approximately 15 structured hours over 3 weeks) and is a complete standalone credential in coaching-led safety leadership. Students join the same program as Full Certificate students and exit after week 3 with their credential. Please note: it does not include NEBOSH program verification (pending for full certificate only), and it does not satisfy the coaching training hours for the ISCL Accredited Professional Safety Coach designation. It is priced at $997 and is fully stackable. Complete it first, then upgrade to the full certificate in any subsequent program.
