The world of iPEC is its own special place with a unique language. If you've ever felt lost in the jargon, you aren't alone! That's why we've pulled together this glossary. Here you'll find all the terms iPEC uses on a regular basis along with their definitions.
Admissions Coach (AC): The role of an Admissions Coach (or AC), all of whom are graduates of the iPEC program, is to aid a prospective student with their decision to attend a certified coach training program.

Ambassadors: Anyone in the iPEC Coach Community who refers a prospective student to the iPEC Coach Training program. The ambassador is the prospect's "coach" and shares their coach training journey and perspective of iPEC as an honest endorsement. The intent is for the ambassador to get permission from their contact to share their information with the admissions team. If the prospective student enrolls in LPT or CTP, the ambassador receives a coaching bonus (referral) payment. Learn more about becoming an ambassador. ^back to top

In other words, while the ELI measures overall energy, with SCOPE, you can now measure your energy at any given moment. Learn more about the SCOPE assessment here. ^back to top
