Earn an ICF Credential!

We encourage all professional coaches to continuously develop their skills, work towards getting credentialed by The International Coaching Federation, and then maintaining that credential through continuous development

With the increased focus of collaboration and a coaching approach to leadership, we see many leaders earning and maintaining their coaching credential as part of their leadership development. Learning and practicing coaching skills helps leaders to develop their people, foster creativity and innovation and to overcome their biases.

ICF Credential-holders are part of a self-regulating group of elite coaches who provide accountability to their organizations, clients and the coaching profession as a whole. They pursue and complete rigorous education and practice requirements that provide unquestioned legitimacy to their commitment to excellence in coaching.

LEARN Coaching is recognized by The International Coaching Federation (ICF) as an Accredited Education. Graduates from our full curriculum can apply for their ICF credential using the Level 1 or Level 2 path.

Applying through the accredited path means less admin and less cost for our students. Our curriculum include Mentor Coaching, a Performance Evaluation, and a project that accelerates your count of coaching hours. Once a graduate has a passing performance evaluation from LEARN Coaching they can apply directly to ICF and receive their PCC credential, given that they have completed 500 coaching hours.

If the graduate has between 100 and 500 coaching hours they will receive the ACC credential, in waiting for them to complete 500 hours. ICF does not reward credentials to coaches with less than 100 coaching hours.

If you chose to join parts of our curriculum you can count the hours you have completed towards the ICF´s demand of 125 coach training hours to become PCC (60 hours for ACC).

Coaches that already hold an ICF Credential can count training hours from the LEARN Curriculum as Continuing Coach Education hours (CCE), to renew their credential.

ICF represents the Gold Standard in coaching. We are extremely proud that they have rewarded LEARN Coaching Level 1 and Level 2 status.
