Post-Nominals

Using Your UCA Post-Nominals with Pride

At the Universal Coaching Alliance (UCA), professional recognition reflects more than participation — it reflects proven standards of practice, experience and integrity.

UCA post-nominals provide a clear and credible way to signal your verified membership level and accreditation status, from those developing their skills through to advanced practitioners, masters and supervisors. Each designation is earned through defined criteria and assessed standards.

Post-nominals are more than letters after your name. They represent demonstrated competence, ethical practice, continuous professional development, and commitment to the shared standards that uphold the reputation of the UCA community worldwide.

By adopting these professional designations, we align with best practice across global professional bodies, ensuring that UCA membership and accreditation are recognised and trusted by clients, organisations and peers wherever your coaching journey takes you.

Wear your post-nominals with pride — they reflect the standard you uphold and the professionalism you bring to every coaching conversation.

Post-nominals are the professional letters you place after your name to show your verified UCA membership and accreditation level.

They provide a simple, recognised way to signal your standards of practice, experience and commitment to ethical, ongoing professional development — helping clients, organisations and peers quickly understand the level at which you work.
