The first step to apply for your credential is to complete a brief survey to ensure you are completing the correct application. If you click the link below you will see the credential survey. Once you complete the survey, you will then be directed to a page where you can "click here" to get to the application.
https://coachfederation.org/credential-path-survey/
You can begin the application process immediately by completing each requirement. Your information will be saved so it is not required that you complete it all in one sitting. Once you have completed all the requirements, a submit button will appear in the upper right side of the application. You will go through a short submit process and then make your payment.
Once ICF staff has reviewed your application, you will be sent a link to complete the Coach Knowledge Assessment (unless you have taken it with a prior credential application process). Here is a link that will provide you with more information about the CKA- https://coachfederation.org/coach-knowledge-assessment
If you were unable to submit your credential renewal application by for example December 31, 2019, ICF does provide a 60-day grace period. This 60-day grace period will extend through the final day of February and your credential will remain active during this time. However, if you are unable to submit your credential renewal application by March 1st your credential will lapse and you will no longer be able to use the credential logo. You will still have until December 31, 2020 to renew your credential, but you will have to provide additional CCE's based on the month that you submit your application in. Below is the list of additional CCE's:
If you submit the application in March 2020: 41.2 CCE units
(Minimum of 24.72 must be Core Competencies)
If you submit the application in April 2020: 42.4 CCE units
(Minimum of 25.44 must be Core Competencies)
If you submit the application in May 2020: 43.6 CCE units
(Minimum of 26.16 must be Core Competencies)
If you submit the application in June 2020: 44.8 CCE units
(Minimum of 26.88 must be Core Competencies)
If you submit the application in July 2020: 46 CCE units
(Minimum of 27.6 must be Core Competencies)
If you submit the application in August 2020: 47.2 CCE units
(Minimum of 28.32 must be Core Competencies)
If you submit the application in September 2020: 48.4 CCE units
(Minimum of 29.04 must be Core Competencies)
If you submit the application in October 2020: 49.6 CCE units
(Minimum of 29.76 must be Core Competencies)
If you submit the application in November 2020: 50.8 CCE units
(Minimum of 30 must be Core Competencies)
If you submit the application in December 2020: 52 CCE units
(Minimum of 31.2 must be Core Competencies)
If you are unable to submit your credential renewal by the one-year grace period on December 31, 2020 you would have to reapply for a credential, which would mean starting the credentialing process all over. You would have to reapply for your credential like it was the first time you were applying.
Continuing Coach Education (CCE) units are earned upon completing Continuing Coach Education, for example a training programme accredited for CCEUs or a webinar or live event that offer CCEUs.
CCE units are awarded in two categories:
ICF does not offer training for becoming a coach. (We do offer professional development for practiced coaches.) As the accrediting body, we cannot recommend any specific training programs
To ensure quality training, the International Coach Federation (ICF) accredits coach-training programs that meet its high standards. To find ICF-accredited programs, we suggest that you use our Training Program Search Service (TPSS) see link below:
https://apps.coachfederation.org/eweb/DynamicPage.aspx?webcode=TPSS
(The search for a coach-training program is a highly individual process which depends greatly on your personal preferences and goals. The TPSS is designed to give you basic information about all ICF-accredited programs.)
Mentor coaching hours count toward Core Competency CCE requirements for the renewal of a credential. Those who hold an Associate Certified Coach (ACC) credential must submit at least 10 hours of mentor coaching with an eligible mentor coach to renew their ACC. These 10 hours count as Core Competency toward the 40 hours of CCEs required for renewal. Those who hold a PCC or MCC are not required to submit mentor coaching, but MAY submit up to 10 hours of mentor coaching (either delivering or receiving) as Core Competency credits toward the 40 hours of CCEs required for renewal.
Like mentor coaching hours, supervision hours count as Core Competency toward the 40 CCEs required to renew a credential.
Both the current and new Core Competencies Models can be found on this page:

To be a member of the International Coach Federation you must meet at least one of the following requirements:
