I am interested in furthering my coaching qualifications

At ICF, there are 3 different Credentials

ACC - Associate Certified Coach

PCC - Professional Certified Coach

MCC - Master Certified Coach (you must hold a P.C.C credential to apply for this credential)

Please use this link to compare the 3 credentials and the application paths.

Each credential has specific requirements.

If you want to check if your coaching education is ICF accredited, please use the Education Search Service

For your coaching experience, we recommend keeping a log of all your hours using this document, in case you are audited during the application process.

For mentor coaching, you can find coaches using our 'Credentialed Coach Finder' service. This service allows you to select a specific region, your mentor coach's credential (specific requirements dependant on the credential you are applying for), and also their area of coaching e.g. life coaching, health etc

The Credential Exam is based on the 8 ICF Core Competencies. Successful completion is required before the credential is awarded.

More information regarding the exam, including sample questions, can be found here.

Hope this assists.
