General Credentialing Information 

Coaches interested in obtaining an ICF Credential should closely review the following information:

 


Definitions and Terms:

Coach Specific Training 
Training that is predominantly marketed as teaching coaching skills and not something else and where the major emphasis is on coaching skills or applying technical skills as a coach and in a manner consistent with the ICF Core Competencies.
 
Client Coaching Hours
For purposes of individual credentialing for ACC, PCC, and MCC, a client coaching hour is 60 minutes coaching time with a person who has hired you as a coach, with whom you have a formal coaching agreement, and who you coach rather than providing any other service such as consulting or therapy. If you perform coaching and other services for a client, you may only count the actual time spent coaching toward certification. You may not count time providing other services.
