Skill depth you can use Monday - without the $1,500 ticket.
A curated portfolio of specialization courses for ICF-credentialed coaches. Authored end-to-end by two MCC founders. Designed against ICF Core Competencies. Self-paced. Lifetime access.
If you hold an ICF credential, you renew it every three years - and that renewal requires 40 Continuing Coach Education (CCE) hours. At least 24 of those must be in Core Competency learning (the eight ICF Core Competencies, plus three mandatory Ethics hours). Up to 16 can be in Resource Development - business, tools, assessments, anything outside the Core Competencies.
CCE is what coaches buy between credentials. It is the practical, deepening work of a coaching career. Some buy it under deadline pressure (renewal in eight weeks, mentor coaching booked, what now). Some buy it because they are building toward PCC or MCC and want hours from named MCC instructors. Some buy it because they are specializing - ADHD, somatic, team systems, AI in the room.
Async courses count. ICF's 50%-synchronous requirement applies only to entry-level credentialing (Level 1, Level 2), not to CCE renewal. CCE designation is determined by curriculum focus and verification-of-learning - not by delivery mode. That is the technical reason a deeply-produced async course can carry CCE hours that a 90-minute live webinar cannot match.
Four common reasons coaches arrive at the series. Pick the one that fits; we will surface the right courses for your situation.
The series is rolling out one course at a time. Live courses are free during their CCE accreditation window. Upcoming courses have a single shared notify list - one address gets you all of them.
The Right Tool, Right Mind framework: a five-move discipline for choosing, sequencing, and using coaching tools without diluting presence. Built around a 498-tool library and 105 mapped tool-chains.
Where AI belongs in your practice, your room, your client work, and your profession. Eight modules covering ethics, augmentation, disclosure, and the line presence should not cross.
Most CCE shopping is a marketplace experience. You buy a webinar, take it, leave. The series is built differently - on purpose.
Most CCE providers borrow named MCCs as guest faculty for one webinar - the marketing photo, not the curriculum design. Across this series, Cherie Silas (MCC) and Alex Kudinov (MCC) wrote the lesson content, designed the slide decks, recorded the narration, and built the assessment for the courses they teach.
That changes what you get. Voice consistency across the series. Genuine depth on the topics each one knows in their bones. No "Module 1: Foundations of X" boilerplate that signals an instructional design team you will never meet.
CCE marketplaces report total hours and a CC/RD split. The series goes further - each course names which of the eight ICF Core Competencies it deepens, with a per-module mapping you can take to a PCC or MCC assessor.
This matters for two audiences. Coaches building Portfolio Path applications can show exactly where their CCE hours land on the competency framework. Coaches preparing for credential performance evaluation can target hours at the competencies their assessor will look for.
Every visible CCE competitor caps access at 90 days, 1 year, or the duration of a cohort. The series doesn't. Enrol once, the course is yours. Pause for a quarter, return when you have time. Re-watch a module the week before a difficult client session. Reference the workbooks two years into PCC.
That ownership is also the grandfather guarantee - coaches who enrol during the free window keep their access at $0 after each course transitions to paid pricing.
Every course in the series is authored, recorded, and assessed by one of these two. No outsourced instructional design team. No guest faculty borrowed for the marketing photo.

The free window is real, the path to accredited hours is concrete. Five steps end-to-end.
Pick the course that fits your situation. Email and first name - that's the form. You land inside the course, all modules unlocked, ready to start. Lifetime access from the moment you enrol.
Each course is roughly 20 hours of structured material: video lessons, downloadable worksheets, an assessment per module. Pause for a quarter, return when you have time. Re-watch a module the week you have a difficult client session.
Verification of learning is what ICF requires for async CCE designation. Each course ends with a competency-aligned quiz or scenario task (per course identity). Pass it and your completion record locks in.
On completion, your certificate issues automatically through Sertifier - blockchain-verifiable, sharable to LinkedIn, suitable for L&D reimbursement documentation. The certificate displays the course's CC/RD hour split once ICF CCE designation lands.
When ICF issues CCE accreditation for the course (typically within months of submission), your prior completions become claimable hours. We notify enrolled learners directly. For coaches enrolled before accreditation lands, the certificate is automatically re-issued with the accredited hour count and the courses you took remain yours at $0 forever.
The same curriculum coverage as a $5,000 cohort, structured for the way working coaches actually have time to learn. Here is how the math compares.
The free window changes how most of this works compared to the rest of the CCE market. The questions below answer the practical mechanics.
A curated portfolio of seven specialization courses for ICF-credentialed coaches, authored end-to-end by Tandem's two MCC founders (Cherie Silas and Alex Kudinov). Each course is async, self-paced, and includes lifetime access.
The seven topics: coaching tools, AI for coaches, running a coaching business, career and career-transition coaching, ADHD coaching, somatic coaching, and systemic / relationship-systems coaching.
ICF CCE accreditation is pending per course. Each course in the series is designed against ICF Core Competencies with documented competency mapping and verification of learning - the technical requirements for async CCE eligibility - and submitted through ICF's accreditation process.
As each course earns its CCE designation, that course's spoke page will display the accredited hour count and CC/RD split. Learners enrolled before accreditation lands will have their certificates automatically re-issued with the accredited hours when ICF approves.
Open early access is free while each course is in the ICF CCE accreditation submission window. We are building a curated portfolio - not a marketplace of cheap webinars - and starting at $0 lets credentialed coaches try the courses before they commit financially.
As each course earns its CCE designation, that course transitions to paid pricing for new enrollees. The grandfather rule: anyone enrolled before the transition keeps lifetime access to that course at $0, with their certificate updated to the accredited hour count.
ICF-credentialed coaches (ACC, PCC, MCC) and ACTC holders who want to deepen practitioner skill in a specific area - tools, AI, business, career, ADHD, somatic, or systemic coaching.
Pre-credential learners are welcome but the series assumes coaching foundations. If you have not yet completed coach-specific training, start with the free Coaching Foundations module on the Level 1 ACC program page first.
Each course is approximately 20 hours of structured material: video lessons, module-level syllabus, downloadable worksheets, ICF Core Competency mapping, verification-of-learning assessment, and a Sertifier-verifiable certificate.
Webinars are short, single-topic, and time-bounded. The Practitioner Series is the depth tier - the work you would do in a 12-week mentorship cohort - structured for the way working coaches actually have time to learn.
Once a course earns ICF CCE designation, its hours may count toward Portfolio Path application requirements (60 hours for ACC, 125 hours for PCC) for coaches assembling a credential from multiple providers. Per-course hour-mapping will be published as accreditation lands.
If you are pursuing a direct accredited pathway, Tandem also offers ICF Level 1 (ACC) and Level 2 (PCC) accredited programs - the Practitioner Series sits on top of, not instead of, those.
During the free window, there is no cost to reimburse - though many L&D teams still want the certificate on file. After courses transition to paid pricing, an invoice and a Sertifier-verifiable certificate are issued on completion, both suitable for L&D documentation.
If your employer requires a W-9 or specific invoice format, contact us before you enrol - we will accommodate.
There is no completion deadline. Lifetime access means lifetime. Pause and return whenever your schedule allows; partial progress is preserved indefinitely.
CCE credits issue only on completion of all course requirements (including the verification-of-learning assessment), but you can complete a course years after enrolling.
Most CCE providers borrow named MCCs as guest faculty for one webinar - the marketing photo, not the curriculum design. In this series, the same two MCCs write the lesson content, design the slide decks, record the narration, and build the assessment for the courses they teach.
Cherie Silas teaches: Coaching Tools Mastery, ADHD Coaching, Somatic Coaching, Systemic and Relationship-Systems Coaching. Alex Kudinov teaches: AI for Coaches, Running a Coaching Business, Career and Career-Transition Coaching.
Yes - nothing stops you. The series is designed for credentialed coaches and assumes coaching foundations, so some lessons will land more deeply once you have your own client work to reference. But the content is rigorous and the lifetime access means you can return to it as your practice grows.
If you are at the start of your coaching journey, consider starting with our free Coaching Foundations module on the Level 1 ACC program page first.
Coaching Tools Mastery and AI for Coaches are live. Open early access - free while ICF CCE accreditation is in process. Lifetime access locks in the moment you enrol.
