The Road to Continuing Education for ICF Credentialing
As a coach, it is important to continuously develop and refine your skills to provide the best service to your clients. One way to demonstrate your commitment to professional growth and development is by pursuing higher coach credentials. The International Coach Federation (ICF) offers three levels of credentialing, the Associate Certified Coach (ACC), Professional Certified Coach (PCC), and Master Certified Coach (MCC). ACC coaches should consider pursuing a higher credential, such as PCC, to demonstrate their expertise and commitment to the coaching profession. Powerhouse Coaching, with its exceptional mentor coaching program, can help ACC coaches earn the necessary ICF Continuing Coach Education (CCE) units to attain a higher credential.
ICF Credential Requirements
The ICF credentialing process is rigorous and requires coaches to meet specific standards and requirements. The ACC credential requires a minimum of 60 hours of coach-specific training and 100 hours of coaching experience with at least eight clients. In contrast, the PCC credential requires a minimum of 125 hours of coach-specific training and 500 hours of coaching experience with at least 25 clients. Pursuing a higher credential not only demonstrates a coach’s expertise but also increases their marketability and credibility.
