Have questions about coaching, membership, events, or the ICF Calgary Chapter? You’re in the right place.
Are the virtual events recorded?
Yes, if you register for a virtual program you will automatically be sent a copy of the recording if it is available. Occasionally a speaker does not want the program recorded. However if you are unable to attend the program live you will not qualify for the CCEU's even if you watch the recording. We do not currently record our in-person events.
Why did I not receive my Continuing Coach Education Units (CCEUs) for the recent program I attended?
You must attend the program in full to qualify for CCEUs. If you arrive late or leave early you will not qualify.
Where do I find my CCEU certificates?
We use a platform called Accredible to digitally store your certificates so they are always available. When you earn new CCEUs an email is sent to you from Accredible which contains the link for you to view the certificates. From there you can download the certificate or publish it to LinkedIn. If you cannot find your certificate email please reach out to va@icfcalgarychapter.com to request a new email link.
As a Chapter member can I give a webinar on my area of expertise? If so, how do I go about doing this?
