Explore the Impact of ICF Coach Training Accreditations: A Comprehensive Guide for Coaches
Delve into the world of ICF accreditations that shape coach training providers. While the ICF bestows accreditations upon individual coaches , it also extends its recognition to companies dedicated to training coaches based on ICF standards.
ICF, as an organization, doesn’t directly offer training. Instead, they meticulously review and accredit third-party training providers. These accredited providers issue coach certificates or diplomas, allowing learners to pursue their ICF credential once they fulfill all other requirements.
Understanding coach training accreditations is crucial for coaches, regardless of their experience level, as the chosen training significantly influences the credentialing process. Below is a concise overview of the three levels of ICF accreditations for coaches. This guide empowers you to conduct further research for additional insights and assists in selecting the training that aligns best with your needs.
Level 1 courses offer between 60 and up to 124 training hours, and are designated as ACC Accredited Education. That means that upon successful completion of a Level 1 training, you will be able to apply for the Associate Certified Coach (ACC) credential using the Level 1 application path once you meet the other credentialing requirements.
Unlock Your Potential with Level 1 Accredited Programs
Our Level 1 courses, encompassing 106 training hours, hold the esteemed ACC Accredited Education designation. Successful completion of a Level 1 training empowers you to apply for the Associate Certified Coach (ACC) credential through the Level 1 application path, subject to meeting other credentialing requirements.
Notably, our Professional Coaching Skills Certification has attained ICF Level 1 Accreditation, ensuring a comprehensive and recognized pathway toward your coaching goals.
Level 2 courses offer between 125 and up to 175 training hours, and are designated as PCC Accredited Education. Upon successful completion of a Level 2 training, you will be able to apply for the ACC or the PCC credential using the Level 2 path.
Elevate Your Coaching Journey with Level 2 Accredited Programs

Distinguished among them is our Advanced Diploma in Coaching, which proudly holds ICF Level 2 Accreditation. This ensures a robust and recognized platform for advancing your coaching expertise.
Level 3 courses are aimed at giving PCC-accredited coaches the knowledge and resources to be ready for an MCC credential. These programmes are designed MCC Accreditation Education. They are 75 hours long and are delivered by MCC coaches who will also mentor participants.
