Frequently asked questions

As a coach, therapist, mentor or trainer, will obtaining the IACTM Stamp of Approval mean that my professional service is approved by IACTM?

Only those who have obtained IACTM Accreditation (which includes the IACTM Stamp of Approval) may state that their coaching, therapy, mentoring, or training related service is approved by IACTM. Other products and services can get the IACTM Stamp of Approval without IACTM Accreditation, as described in the above section.

If I obtain IACTM Accreditation, will I be able to use the IACTM Stamp of Approval at no additional charge?

Yes, if the IACTM Stamp of Approval is directly associated with the service that you have obtained IACTM Accreditation for. If you have another product or service that you would like to have approved by IACTM, then, by already having IACTM Accreditation, you may obtain the IACTM Stamp of Approval for your additional product or service at half price.

By getting the IACTM Stamp of Approval, will I have a professional profile featured in the IACTM Directory?

No, only those with IACTM Accreditation are eligible to have their professional profile featured in the IACTM Directory. Products and services that are approved by IACTM are showcased on our Approved Resources page, in our monthly newsletter, as well as on IACTM’s Facebook page and other social media.
