ICF Credentialing process

The ICF (International Coaching Federation) credentialing process involves a professional coach demonstrating their skills, experience, and ethical practices to meet established standards. Coaches apply by submitting their education, coaching hours, and recordings of their sessions for review. They may also need to pass an exam to prove their knowledge of coaching principles. Once approved, they earn credentials like Associate Certified Coach (ACC), Professional Certified Coach (PCC), or MCC, reflecting their level of expertise. The process ensures coaches are competent, ethical, and committed to ongoing professional development.
