DAC Holders: Your Coach Credential Is Still Valid — But the Pathway Has Moved

In the U.S. and Canadian job markets, it’s common to see:

• Existing DAC holders maintain senior coach market signal
• New learners should enroll in DAL (Disciplined Agile Leadership)

What creates the salary gap?

• PMI merged DAC and DAVSC into DAL effective Q4 2025.
• Edunx Learning supports legacy DAC holders with renewal PDUs and migration coaching.

• Credential Status: retired but still recognized.
• Renewal Path: PDUs still required.

• For new learners: recommend DAL.

 

The Truth About the Job Market (USA & Canada)

Many candidates say the market is low. The accurate truth: the market is not low — it is filtered.

Recruiters use ATS filters. Certifications affect shortlisting. Strong experience without standardized proof often gets ignored. That is why credentialed professionals move faster into better pay bands.
