Coach Training Programs

ACTP ProgramsACSTH Programs

CCE Programs

ICF Accredited Coach Training Programs (ACTP)

Each Accredited Coach Training Program (ACTP) offers:

  • A minimum of 125 hours of coach-specific training.
  • A minimum of 6 observed-coaching sessions with an experienced coach.
  • A comprehensive final exam that evaluates a student's coaching competency.
  • Certified graduates the opportunity to apply for an ICF credential using the ACC, PCC or MCC ACTP graduate application. 

ICF Approved Coach Specific Training Hours (ACSTH)

Organizations that offer Approved Coach Specific Training Hours offer:

  • At least 30 hours that are ICF approved as coach-specific training. 
  • Students the opportunity to use pre-approved training hours for an ACC, PCC or MCC Portfolio application.
  • Graduates of ACSTH programs must apply for ICF credentials using the portfolio application rather than the ACTP graduate application.    Applicants with ACSTH training MUST SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETE THE APPLICABLE ICF EXAM BEFORE RECEIVING THEIR CREDENTIAL.

Please Note:  ACTP programs are also by default ACSTH programs.  This means that students may take portions of an ACTP program and apply this training toward an ICF credential.  However, if a student does not complete the full ACTP program (including final exam) they must apply for a credential using the Portfolio Application.

ICF Approved Programs for Continuing Coach Education (CCE)

Continuing Coach Education (CCE) courses are advanced or niche-specific courses that can be used to:

  • Further the on-going development of the professional coach.
  • Satisfy coach-specific training requirements for coaches pursuing an ICF credential.
  • Satisfy the renewal requirements for credentialed coaches renewing their PCC or MCC credentials.

Please Note:  In addition to courses approved specifically as CCE courses, continuing education credits can also be obtained from the accredited programs of ACTP or ACSTH providers.
