The Accreditation Division is headed by a member of the Board of Governors for CFI who is assisted by an academic council. Members of this council include Founding Members of CFI, Honorary Fellows of CFI and distinguished thought leaders from academia, commerce and industry with impeccable credentials and impressive track records.

The council continuously monitors the structure and rigour of the various programs to ensure that they are at all times contemporary, client focused and benchmarked to world standards. The council also ensures that these standards are inbuilt into the process followed by the Training Division and the Advisory Services Division in the various facets of their operations.

The Accreditation Division is concerned with assessing,evaluating and certifying that participants have fulfilled the prescribed accreditation requirements that qualify them to become practising coaches at various levels of competence. The primary objective of the accreditation process is to ensure that all CFI coach interns display adequate evidence of their coaching competencies.
