What is the Certified CADP Coach program?
Level 2 of the CADP Coaching Certification is more than advanced training it’s a profound immersion into the world of childhood and adolescent development, combined with the highest level of professional coaching expertise.
Coaching minors is a fundamentally different practice from coaching adults. It demands not only a strong ethical foundation but also a deep understanding of how young minds think, learn, and experience the world. In this program, you’ll go beyond simply being certified you’ll become truly qualified, with the awareness that coaching, as a reflective practice, directly shapes the ongoing neurological development of children and adolescents.
Here, skill alone is not enough mastery of presence is essential. The developing mind responds not only to what you do, but to who you are in the coaching space.
ICF Core Coaching Competencies — Tailored for Developmental Stages
At the core of Level 2 is the complete integration of the International Coaching Federation’s 8 Core Competencies, thoughtfully adapted to meet the unique needs of coaching minors at each stage of their development.
In Level 2, you will learn how to:
- Establish ethical boundaries while integrating child protection protocols and crisis management strategies
- Cultivate a securely attached coaching relationship that fosters trust and safety
- Create psychological safety and support co-regulation in sessions
- Design a safe learning environment that balances authority with autonomy
- Apply age appropriate, advanced coaching communication skills
- Incorporate creative expression and whole-child development practices into the coaching process
- And much more, ensuring your coaching is both developmentally attuned and deeply impactful
