Do you want to share your certification process with us?

I have created this space for coaches to share their experiences regarding their ICF certification process. Some of you have been certified via an ICF accredited school, also your experience is most welcome.

Let us know:
What made you choose an ICF certification?
Did you take the portfolio or via an accredited ICF school certification?
Share your expectations, your work
Did you work with a mentor coach? How did you choose her/him? what kind of learning programme did you do?

Thank you. Your information support many coaches who are looking for information.

Thanks

2009 ICF Credential Renewal Session Information

For the coaches who are ICF certified need to renew every 3 years. From experience I recommend you start at least 6 month in advance to get organised. You need:

• Documented participation in a minimum of 40 hours of Continuing Coach Education (CCE) over the three-year period since initial certification or last renewal.
• A minimum of 24 CCE hours must directly relate to the ICF Core Competencies.
• The remaining 16 CCE hours must relate to either the ICF Core Competencies or to i) the personal development of the coach, ii) the development of the coach's practice or iii) skills or tools that are directly applicable to coaching.
• In addition , ACC renewal candidates must also submit proof of an additional 10 hours of Mentor Coaching above those hours required for their initial certification. Please see the renewal application for more details.
