As a Master Coach you represent part of the EAIC. You have implemented the training standards of the EAIC in the curricula of your own coaching training and pay particular attention to the observance of quality and ethical guidelines.
Note: Only a natural person can be certified, not a corporate body.

As a Master Coach you are authorized to certify training candidates of your training institute according to the training levels of the EAIC. (Individual credits are only possible directly through the EAIC.)

Note:
An EAIC certification as a Master Coach is not a business licence. The certification only means an assessment of qualification. For exercising the profession commercially, the legal framework defined in the respective countries applies.
