For Coach Training Organizations
The International Coach Federation is proud to offer Coach Training Accreditation, by which coach training programs submit to review and continuing oversight to demonstrate their commitment to the highest standards for curricula, the ICF-defined core competencies, faculty, structure, proficiency, and ethics to support excellence in the training of coaches.
Please note that ICF accredits programs rather than training schools. Accreditation is awarded to programs that meet professional standards for coach training programs established by the ICF. Please contact ICF at icftraining@coachfederation.org with any questions.
ICF offers two types of accreditation:
1. Accredited Coach Training Programs (ACTP)
2. Approved Coach Specific Training Hours (ACSTH)
In addition, ICF also offers coach specific programs the opportunity to apply for:
Continuing Coaching Education Units (CCEUs)
