For Prospective Students
Accredited Coach Training Programs (ACTP)
Each Accredited Coach Training Program (ACTP) offers:
Certified graduates of ACTPs may apply for an ACC or PCC credential using the ACTP graduate application.
CCE Note: All portions of an ACTP are also pre-approved as CCEUs for the purpose of renewing a credential.
Approved Coach Specific Training Hours (ACSTH)
Organizations that offer Approved Coach Specific Training Hours (ACSTH) offer:
Graduates of ACSTH programs applying for an ACC or PCC credential must use the portfolio application rather than the ACTP graduate application. The portfolio application includes an exam.
CCE Note: All portions of an ACSTH program are also pre-approved as CCEUs for the purpose of renewing a credential.
Continuing Coach Education (CCE)
Continuing Coach Education (CCE) courses are advanced or niche-specific courses that can be used to:
- Satisfy the renewal requirements for credentialed coaches renewing their ACC, PCC, or MCC credentials
- Further the on-going development of the professional coach
- Apply toward coach-specific training requirements for an ICF credential
Completion of a CCE program alone is generally not enough to satisfy the coach training requirements for a credential.
