A training programme designed to equip professionals with the skills to apply the latest knowledge of artificial intelligence tools, ethics and possibilities into their practice has gained EMCC Global Quality Award at Foundation level accreditation.
RK Academy in collaboration with WSI DMS, collectively based in London, Amsterdam and Istanbul, earned recognition for their AI Super-powered Coaches & Mentors programme.
The EMCC Global Quality Award (EQA) accreditation is only awarded to education and training programmes that meet EMCC Global’s internationally-benchmarked and evidence-based learning in coaching and mentoring.
It sets clear standards for professional development worldwide. This recognition demonstrates the programme’s commitment to delivering thorough, evidence-based education for coaching and mentoring practitioners.
The four-week hybrid course aims to empower coaches and mentors to integrate AI into their work while maintaining ethical standards and client safety. It teaches participants to use AI for client preparation, session delivery, goal tracking, and business development. All learning aligns with governance frameworks such as the European Union AI Act.
Hande Ocak Başev, Programme Architect and Managing Partner of WSI Digital Consulting, said: “In a world shaped by algorithms, the leadership challenge is ethical fluency. EMCC Global’s recognition shows that our programme prepares professionals to work with and lead with AI.”
Dr Riza Kadilar, founder of RK Academy, added: “Our aim is not only to teach tools but to encourage reflection. EMCC Global’s endorsement recognises that this programme builds AI fluency alongside the awareness and questioning mindset that coaches need.”
The EQA accreditation recognises programmes that align with EMCC Global’s purpose to develop, promote, and set expectations for good practice in mentoring, coaching, and supervision worldwide.
An EMCC Global spokesperson said “Congratulations to the whole RK Academy and WSI DMS Digital Consulting team on the awarding of the EMCC Global Quality Award at Foundation level. In carrying out our assessment, we noted that The AI Edge: Coaching and Mentoring in the Digital Era programme met all the research-based core standards presented in the EMCC Global Professional Standards Framework for Mentors, Coaches and Leaders Specific to Role and Context. We wish this programme well.”
