Can I get that for Free?

My daughter has enticed me to try “extreme coupon” shopping. For those of you not familiar, extreme couponers buy items that are on sale and have two or more coupons or rebates, looking for items that can be purchased for 70% or more off of the regular price.  Of course, the ultimate goal is .... FREE!



Here’s an example of how it works:
Rite-Aid is selling a brand of baby aspirin for $2.00 and offering a $1.00 rebate credited to your Rite-Aid Wellness card. In the newspaper, there’s a coupon for $1.00 off that same brand.  Final price???  Free!




A side effect of buying aspirin, toothpaste and shampoo this way is I frequently ask “Is there a way to get that for Free???” when making any purchase.

You're in luck!   I’ve found a Free deal for coaches who are renewing their credential.

Free Continuing Coach Education Units (CCEUs)

Self-Study CCEUs allow you to do your own studying, at your own pace, focused on what you want to learn. For Free!

Here’s how they work.

Do an activity, such as reading, writing, or research related to coaching. Track your time. Write a summary of what you did and how it contributed to your development as a coach.  Include your time in your recertification application as Self-Study CCEUs.

That’s it!

Quantities are limited and some restrictions apply.

Up to 16 Resource Development CCEUs can be Self-Study.

They can not be used for Core Competency CCEUs

You cannot count time spent coaching, mentoring or supervising as Self-Study.

The Fine Print.


Just like the shopping deals that change every week, the ICF changes the rules and requirements every so often!  I encourage all ICF coaches to double check the requirements a few months before they’re ready to renew.  Here’s the website to bookmark!  Individual Credentialing Renewal

Enjoy!
