ICF

INTERNATIONAL COACHING FEDERATION


The ICF is the world's leading coaching organisation for coaches and coaching. It is dedicated to advancing the coaching profession by setting high standards, providing independent certification and building a worldwide network of trained coaching professionals.

ICF Credentials are unique in their recognition worldwide as the global gold standard in coaching

I am an ICF Professional Certified Coach


In the UK, there are currently only 1,300 people at Professional or Master Coach level.


The ICF offers the most globally recognised, independent credentialing program for coach practitioners.


 ICF Credentials are awarded to professional coaches who have met stringent education and experience requirements and have demonstrated a thorough understanding of the coaching competencies that set the standard in the profession. Achieving credentials through ICF signifies a coach’s commitment to integrity, understanding and mastery of coaching skills, and dedication to clients.

In the fast-growing and largely unregulated marketplace of coaching, being able to distinguish oneself as a qualified coach is critical. As the largest global professional certification program for coaching, ICF Credentials are unique in their recognition worldwide as the global gold standard in coaching. This offers ICF Credential holders with a valuable, transferrable, and independent credential that can be used to demonstrate their knowledge, skill and competence as a coach practitioner across geographic borders, employers and industries.

The ICF Code of Ethics serves to uphold the integrity of ICF and the global coaching profession by:


  • Setting standards of conduct consistent with ICF core values and ethical principles.
  • Guiding ethical reflection, education, and decision-making
  • Adjudicating and preserving ICF coach standards through the ICF Ethical Conduct Review process
  • Providing the basis for ICF ethics training in ICF-accredited programs

While earning the PCC Credential is an important professional milestone, maintaining it is equally important. PCC Credential holders are required to renew their credential every three years by earning Continuing Coach Education credits through professional development courses and activities.
