- 3. Excellence in Coaching? Think about a time when you delivered or observed excellence in coaching. What was happening? What did the coach say/do? What was the outcome for the client or organization?
- 4. The Opportunity for ICF Our goal is for ICF to deliver a best in class credentialing program. By offering robust, consistent, fair, credentialing processes we will: Provide an assurance of quality to clients Motivate coaches to continue their professional growth and competence.
- 5. Transformations The ICF Credentialing program is constantly growing and evolving to reflect current best practice in professional coaching to allow for the continued growth in applicants and to improve the Credentialing experience for candidates. The changes being shared today are an effort to ensure that the program continues to be relevant and valuable. The Board considered many perspectives and engaged in thoughtful and robust discussions as each of these changes has the potential to impact the future of coaching.

- 8. Credentialing and Accreditation Policy Changes
- 9. Communicating Change Beginning this year, we are moving to an annual announcement schedule for Credentialing and Accreditation changes. All upcoming policy changes will be announced in February of each year. Changing to an annual announcement schedule will make it easier for coaches, trainers and other stakeholders to plan efficiently and prepare well for the changes ahead. It will also prevent any unexpected surprises.
- 10. Mentoring hours for ACC renewals Immediate For Associate Certified Coaches whose ICF Credentials expire December 31, 2018, or later, the 10 hours of Mentor Coaching required of Associate Certified Coach renewal applicants can now be applied toward the 40 hours of Continuing Coach Education required for Associate Certified Coach renewal. Mentor Coaching hours will now be counted toward Core Competencies. This means that Associate Certified Coach renewal requirements will be as follows: 10 hours of Mentor Coaching; at least 30 hours of Continuing Coach Education (with at least 11 hours in Core Competencies and at least 3 in coaching ethics). It is important to note that no more than 10 hours of Mentor Coaching may be counted toward required Continuing Coach Education in a renewal cycle.
- 11. Limits on use of Mentoring hours Immediate For coaches whose ICF Credentials expire December 31, 2018, or later, only 10 hours of Mentor Coaching (delivering and/or receiving) may be counted toward Continuing Coach Education requirements. As part of a self-regulating industry, ICF is committed to helping coaches provide consistent value to their clients. To ensure excellence among ICF Credential-holders, we encourage them to participate in a wide array of continuing professional development activities. This policy helps encourage that diversity.
- 12. Limits on use of Supervision hours Immediate For coaches whose ICF Credentials expire December 31, 2018, or later, only 10 hours of Coaching Supervision (delivering and/or receiving) may be counted toward Continuing Coach Education requirements. Note that coaches may count 10 hours of Mentoring and 10 hours of Supervision towards their credential renewal requirements.
- 13. ACC/PCC Portfolio requirements Effective July 31, 2018 (12:00 Noon, NY time) Coaches applying for their Associate Certified Coach or Professional Certified Coach credential via the Portfolio path will be required to demonstrate that they completed a comprehensive training program that includes the ICF definition of coaching, Code of Ethics and Core Competencies, and is organized in a scope and sequence that encourages the growth of the coach. This means that coaches will no longer be able to submit a random compilation of nonapproved training hours and/or Continuing Coach Education units in fulfillment of their initial training requirements. This change is a further step in reframing Continuing Coach Education as advanced training for already-credentialed coaches.
- 14. Experience hours for MCC applicants Effective July 31, 2018 (12:00 Noon, NY time) Master Certified Coach applicants will be required to complete all their 2,500 hours of client coaching experience after the start of coach- specific training. In alignment with previous changes for the ACC and PCC, this change is intended to positively impact credential-holders and the profession by ensuring that every hour of experience was delivered in the context of coach-specific training aligned with ICFs high standards.
- 15. Criteria for ACC Mentor Coaches Effective July 31, 2018 (12:00 Noon, NY time) Associate Certified Coaches will need to complete at least one full cycle of their credential (through renewal) before they can be a Mentor Coach. For those applicants for ACC credentials who have completed all or part of their required 10 hours of mentoring with a mentor coach who does not meet the new requirements, ICF will allow those hours to qualify. However, any new Mentor coaching hours that occur after July 31, 2018 must be delivered by a mentor coach that meets the new requirement. This same allowance will be granted to those applying for renewal of their ACC credentials that are expiring in 2018.
- 16. Recordings for ACC ACSTH applicants Effective July 31, 2018 (12:00 Noon, NY time) Coaches applying for the Associate Certified Coach credential via the ACSTH path will once again be required to submit a recording and transcript of a live coaching session to be evaluated by ICF assessors.
- 17. PCC before MCC Effective February 28, 2019 (12:00 Noon, NY time) Coaches will be required to hold a Professional Certified Coach credential before they can apply for the Master Certified Coach credential. Applying for a Master Certified Coach credential requires a significant investment of time and money. We want to increase the likelihood of success. Data from ICFs Credentialing department shows that Master Certified Coach candidates who hold a Professional Certified Coach credential are more successful in the application process than candidates with no prior ICF Credential.
- 18. Work in Progress
- 19. Job Analysis and Assessment Redesign As a part of the ongoing effort to strengthen and improve the credentialing program, ICF is undertaking research to identify and verify the job skills, tasks and abilities necessary to effectively perform professional coaching through a job analysis study. A job analysis is the globally accepted process for determining the tasks, knowledge and skills required to perform a particular job or profession. The information gained from this research will be used to update and support the ICF Core Competencies, as well as the ICF Credentialing process.
- 20. PCC Markers Assessor Training In 2014 the ICF introduced a set of behavioral markers for PCC-level coaching in an effort to increase accuracy and consistency in the performance assessment process. In the time since, ICF has held a series of PCC Markers trainings for individuals serving as assessors. It is the goal of ICF to train all assessors in using the PCC markers to conduct performance assessments. Preliminary research results on the effectiveness of the PCC Markers as a tool in assessing applicants seeking a PCC credential through the Portfolio pathway have been promising, showing high rates of inter-rater reliability and indicating a fairer, more objective and consistent assessment process. Multiple trainings are planned for later in 2018 with a focus on expanding our capacity to assess in languages other than English.
- 21. Mastery/MCC The ICF continues research to better understand the development of mastery and the best ways to measure and recognize those that are continuing to develop their skills beyond PCC.
- 22. Credential Application Software Development is underway to launch a new software platform for use by those applying for an ICF Credential. The intent of this work is to provide a more user friendly and streamlined process for applicants to use as they submit required documents and recordings. Additionally, the platform should provide applicants more visibility as to the status of their application as it moves through the credentialing process.
