ICF Accreditation

The International Coach Federation (ICF) is the leading global organization dedicated to advancing the coaching profession by setting high standards, providing independent certification and building a worldwide network of trained coaching professionals.

Accredited Coach Training Program

The Professional Coaching Course has been recognized by the ICF since June 2000 as an Accredited Coach Training Program (ACTP), the highest level of certification given.  Graduation from an ACTP will meet the ICF’s requirements for individual coach certification for student contact learning hours, mentor coaching, and passage of an oral and written exam. Therefore, students who complete the Professional Coaching Course are welcome to apply for the ICF Associate Certified Coach (ACC) Credential or the ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC) Credential, using the ACTP application path, after completing and logging the requisite number of client hours, completing the Coach Knowledge Assessment, and submitting the application fee.
