The coach is responsible for the process in which the client gains new knowledge and develops alternative courses of action.

In addition to the dvct, there are several other coaching associations that offer their own certifications.
further activities
In 2008 the association presented its ethics guidelines for coaching and training. Before that, in 2007 the German Federal Association of Coaching (DBVC) presented a compendium of coaching as a profession , which also contains a code of ethics. The forerunner of these efforts was the International Coach Federation with its own code of conduct .
Since 2010 the association has presented the “Coach & Trainer Award” every year.
Together with the Professional Association of German Psychologists , the German Society for Supervision and Coaching , the Systemic Society and other associations with fewer members in Germany, the dvct is a member of the round table of German coaching associations.
history
The association was founded in 2003; Shortly after this establishment, further associations were founded that also stated the goal of quality assurance: in January 2004 the German Federal Coaching Association (DBVC) and also in January 2004 the Professional Coaching Association (ProC).
In Germany there is no overarching umbrella organization for coaching associations. A dispute between the DBVC and the associations ICF, dvct and QRC, which were represented in the roundtable at the time, on the question of an umbrella organization flared up briefly in 2007 and was then settled with a reference to further cooperation between the associations.
Structure of the association
The association has the following organs: the general assembly , the board of directors , the advisory board , the certification commission and the arbitration board . In accordance with the statutes, the members of these bodies are all volunteers. The general assembly elects the members of all other organs. The Advisory Board advises the Executive Board on strategic issues, consists of a maximum of five members and meets at least once a year.
Susanne Lübben is currently the chairman of the dvct.
