Question 1

What ICF accreditation does Noble Manhattan hold?

Accepted Answer

Noble Manhattan's Practitioner Coach Diploma is accredited by the ICF as a CCE (Continuing Coach Education) program. This means it earns credits toward ICF credential renewal (for existing ACC, PCC, or MCC holders) and can be used via the Portfolio path for initial credentials. It is not an ICF Level 1 or Level 2 initial program accreditation. Coaches seeking to earn their first ICF credential should confirm the current ICF Portfolio pathway requirements.

Question 2

What is the difference between ICF CCE and Level 1/Level 2 accreditation?

Accepted Answer

ICF CCE (Continuing Coach Education) programs provide hours that credentialed coaches can use for credential renewal. They can also be used via the ICF Portfolio application path for initial credentials, but this path differs from the direct Level 1 or Level 2 application path. If your primary goal is earning a first ICF credential (ACC or PCC), an ICF Level 1 or Level 2 accredited program offers a more direct route.

Question 3

What is Noble Manhattan's history?

Accepted Answer

Noble Manhattan was founded in 1993 by Gerard O'Donovan — two years before the ICF itself was founded. It is one of the longest-established coaching schools in the world, with more than three decades of continuous operation and 10,000–15,000 coaches trained globally.

Question 4

What programs does Noble Manhattan offer?

Accepted Answer

The Practitioner Coach Diploma is Noble Manhattan's flagship program, covering life coaching, executive coaching, and applied NLP skills. The Advanced Diploma extends this with additional Masterclass modules (10 monthly supervised sessions) providing applied competency training, coaching supervision, and mentoring, earning additional ICF CCE units.

Question 5

How is NLP integrated into the curriculum?

Accepted Answer

Applied NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) is integrated into the core curriculum alongside coaching skills. NLP practitioners and coaches work together in the training, providing a dual toolkit that is particularly relevant in UK and European coaching contexts where NLP has a long practitioner history.
