Why Coaching Certification

Globally executive and business coaching has soared to become a $10-billion industry thanks to waves of uncertainties and disruption precipitated by rapid development in technology, rise of millennium workforce, globalization and rise of Dubai. With command-and-control management style giving way to highly participative and empowering leadership, and best-known-methods to agile and adaptive learning, coaching will continue to gain appeal because it works for a VUCA world, intensified only by the 2020 Covid pandemic: Coaching deals with employee engagement, growth, creativity and achievement by removing roadblocks to development and performance as no other development tool. 

In this context of coaching skills being a new currency for the 21st century workforce and a coaching approach or culture far transcending the needs of executives, coaching has been rated the top desired skill for front-line managers (Chief Learning Officer Magazine), and the demand for trained coaches operating both internally and externally has fuelled the need for coaching certification programs. In the US alone, there are more than 200 coach certification programs, which helps make becoming a certified coach one of the most popular career shifts in the last decade. 

When executed properly, coaching provides greater intrinsic motivation - in other words, inspiring the self-directed willingness to try new things and make new discoveries. According to McKinsey, when employees find greater intrinsic motivation, they are 32% more committed to their work and 46% more satisfied with their jobs.

What do MMS Graduates say about the program?

Program Overview

Our TECC is a 5-month intensive virtual ACSTH program. This program teaches masterful executive coaching, using the original MMS coaching methodology, coupled with the ICF Core Competencies, with the addition of the executive coaching context/ framework.

The approach is based on these 3 key assumptions:

  1. People have an “Inner Knowing” regarding what is right for them 
  2. People possess the inner resources to manifest what they want in their lives 
  3. People and organizations can have their lives be the way they truly want them. 


Our ACSTH Track provides over 60 ICF-accredited training hours and presents once a week in 3-hour modules.

The hours are on Wednesday between 4:30 -7:45 GST time. 

There are also 10 mentoring sessions included (7 in group setting and 3 individual), along with a 3-month subscription to the MMS Virtual Training with additional coaching videos by Dr. Carter-Scott.

Supporting documents and videos will be accessible on our e-learning platform. 

Our TECC is consisted of 2 modalities that promises flexibility in learning and getting credentialed: 

Level 1 (ACSTH) is a 60-hour training for those who want to learn the basics of coaching, (and 10 hours of mentoring). After this training and the completion of 100 coaching hours, the candidate is then eligible to take the CKA (Coach Knowledge Assessment) Exam in order to receive their Level 1 Associate Certified Coach (ACC). 

Level 2 (ACTP) is a 125-hour training that goes deeper into the coaching core competencies. After this training and the completion of 400 additional coaching hours, and 10 additional hours of mentoring, the candidate is then eligible to apply for Professional Certified Coach (PCC). 

Following completion of our TECC ACSTH, you will be further supported by our coaching credentialed faculty. Since our experienced faculty have successfully navigated through these stages, they will be able to mentor you to your competency as an Associate, Professional, or even a Master Coach (2,500 hours of coaching, and 200 hours of training, and 10 additional mentoring hours).

What Graduates Say About MMS Worldwide Institute

It was more than I could have wished for!

by Barbara Reppert

The ACSTH training that is offered by the MMS Institute was so much more than a training course. Yes, I learned all the skills and competencies I expected to, but it also provided an incredibly safe space where I not only could witness the power of coaching but deeply experience it myself. The ability of the facilitators to hold space for each participant and their demonstration of such care was both incredible and inspiring. It was an experience I will never forget, and it provided a community I didn’t even realize I needed or wanted in my life. I feel blessed to be part of the MMS Family and blessed to be able to serve others through what I learned.

Overcoming confidence issues does not happen overnight.

by Caroline Smoczarski

It takes awareness, patience, self-questioning, self-care, understanding, and reinforcement of my “I want” statement (i.e., I want to become a better version of myself, a Caroline 2.0, the authentic Caroline). My transformation journey isn’t fully complete yet. However, I am happy with my self-discovery and who I want to become. I am better equipped with coaching and self-reflection tools that will serve me to become a better person, a more powerful Caroline, and ultimately a great Coach. The training has transformed me, literally.

This MMS TECC class is the most memorable and effective training I have attended in my life.

by Michael Lee

Initially, I had some doubts about the effectiveness of online training but after the first few sessions, my doubts were gone. It was very effective because Dr. Cherie and Michael mixed reflections/comments, demo, demo feedbacks, and ppt course material very effectively.

Offered a more holistic perspective for me to see myself as a coach

by Winston Wang

The MMS TECC has offered a more holistic perspective for me to see myself as a coach and my client as a coached. The model of exploring a client’s desire, willingness, belief and commitment has set the foundation of making coaching work and work effectively.

My eyes had opened to a new world.

by Sophie Leung

After graduating as a certified coach, I continued to dive deep in discovering myself by going to different self-awareness courses, learning about hypnotherapy, EFT tapping and spirituality. As I was doing that, I was coaching people on the side and thoroughly enjoying it. As I was learning different modalities, not only did I unearth my Truth for myself but I began to incorporated it into my coaching, which showed me what I was truly capable of. All along I thought I would work for the corporate world but there were other plans made for me.

This was high on my agenda

by Rhys Li

However, my ultimate objective in joining the MMS TECC was to become a great coach, nothing more. This was high on my agenda because I wanted to start my own coaching practice. I felt that having a coaching business would help me escape my stressful consulting job. Throughout the training, all my objectives were immediately met. What’s more important is my own transformational journey that I’ve experienced as part of my participation in the course. Although the course is coming to a close for me and my classmates, my journey in self-awareness has just begun.

Everything I have been searching for

by Amelia Zhou

During the training I became more and more aware that I was changing from within. I began to embrace the unknown possibilities and build up more positive energy around me. Dr. Chérie is the most knowledgeable, pacesetter in coaching. I am glad to know that she is going to lead the TECC from China/Asia. A learning program led by her will be a journey of faith, trust and love.

I am forever grateful

by Dr. David King Keller

Whenever I sit down with a client, I always revert to my MMS training in 1975 to begin every session. That powerful experience trained me to hold my focus, attention, and intention throughout the session. Because of my MMS Executive Coach Training, I enter into an intentional space that allows me to approach every session with complete confidence, knowing that I can support the client in achieving their desirable outcome. No other training has given me the education, experience, and skillsets to approach every session with that same level of calm, mindful, and peaceful confidence. MMS has a very special quality that other training programs do not.

Immense value to my role as a senior leader

by Christopher DeRosa

I thoroughly enjoyed and found the MMS Coach training of immense value to my role as a senior leader. As a senior leader you do not have all the answers and this program helped my ability to coach and draw the answer out of my team. It helps me create a safe and nurturing space for my team to think through issues and design solutions they have ownership of and are committed to delivering. One of the greatest benefits of the approach has been the trust it creates with my team and the empowerment they feel. All in all, a wonderful program.

Prepared to enter the world of professional coaching

by Kathleen Mercier

Dr. Cherie’s MMS Coach Training fully prepared me to enter the world of professional coaching through her materials and invaluable hands-on experience. Her training materials are crisp and thorough, making it easy to understand the technical elements of coaching. Most importantly, the demonstrations and actual practice coaching removed my fear and made it possible to immediately begin coaching at the end of the course.
