Responsibility for Decisions
Envision Coach Training is deeply committed to providing support and professional assistance in achieving and demonstrating the levels of coaching competency demanded for the credential level sought through ICF. We bring all our skill, experience, and knowledge to the training and mentoring sessions. At the same time, the final decision about acting on this counsel and the responsibility for results achieved is entirely the participants’ own. We assume no responsibility for the participant’s business decisions or for policies, skills, or practices that are actually implemented, and therefore make no guarantee that as a result of our training and mentoring a participant will obtain the credential level sought.
Our commitment is to create a safe, learning environment for our participants to grow as coaches.
If, for any reason, or due to any issue, the participant is unable to fully engage in the training and/or mentoring, it is their responsibility to contact us and discuss. Envision Coach Training requests all participants be as open and honest as can be about their needs so that we can best support them.

International Coaching Federation (ICF) Requirements
Coaching Ethics
Envision Coach Training is in alignment with the ICF Code of Ethics.
Prior to beginning of the program, the participant is required to read the ICF Code of Ethics and ICF Ethical Review Board Process, both available on the ICF website.
Envision Coach Training asks that each participant abides by the ICF Code of Ethics, however, we are not responsible for any participants’ conduct as a coach or for any violations of the ICF Code of Ethics they may enact.
Core Coaching Competencies
Envision Coach Training’s ACTP is accredited by the ICF and is, therefore, required to teach the ICF Core Coaching Competencies. We align with these competencies, along with the ICF definition of coaching.
If the participant finds, through the process of the program, that they do not align with the ICF definition of coaching, it is their responsibility to make us aware of this so that, together, we can decide on the best course of action.

Cancellations and Refunds
Group Mentor Coaching
If a Participant Cancels
At least 48 hours notice is required for group mentor coaching cancellation. If less than 48 hours are given, the session is automatically forfeited.

When We Don’t Give Replacements and Refunds
Envision Coach Training does not refund or replace group mentor coaching sessions in any of the following scenarios:
• If a participant cancels within 48 hours of the session time.
• If a participant is a ‘no show’ for any reason.
• If a participant tries to join 1 or more minutes after the scheduled session time and is ‘locked out’ of the session.
• If a participant has lost their registration confirmation email and does not have the session link.
• If a participant is the “designated coach” for a session and does not provide the recording and signed client release form at least a week prior to that session, causing us to have to cancel or move the session.
• If a participant calls in via phone and is dropped or cannot hear playback. (Note: Only computers will work with WebEx playback. No phones)
• If a participant has technical issues and is unable to hear or see the session or is dropped from the session.
• If a participant comes to the session impaired due to consumption of alcohol, drugs or any other reason. We reserve the right to determine whether a participant’s behavior (i.e. slurred speech, incomprehensible speech, use of language or physical gesture) warrants cancelling attendance.
One-to-One Mentor Coaching
Time Slots
When we offer appointment days/times we may also offer those times to other participants or clients. While we do our best to work around participant’s schedules, we cannot hold slots open indefinitely and it is a ‘first to respond, first booked in’ system. The participant’s prompt reply for confirmation of chosen day/time will better guarantee getting it.
Connection Requirements
All one-to-one sessions are provided via an online platform that requires good Internet connection if the participant is using computer, or land line if they are going to call in.
Environment
We also require that the participant join from a quiet space when attending the sessions (i.e. no public spaces or noisy environments) If the background is noisy we reserve the right to cancel the session.
Cancellations
Envision Coach Training has a 24-hour cancellation policy on all one-to-one sessions. If there is a cancellation within 24 hours of the scheduled time or a no-show at the time, we do not reschedule that purchased time or reimburse payment.
