    You read that right. you don’t have to submit an audio of your coaching to be evaluated by ICF, like you would in the other paths to credentialing.

    Fast-Track your ICF Credential Application
    Our ACTP program shaves off 10-14 weeks of waiting once you submit your application to ICF.

    Save Extra
    Our ACTP program saves you $275 on your application fee with ICF.

    Accreditation

    How It Works

    The ICF PCC credential requires 125 hours of training and 10 hours of mentor coaching to qualify (plus your client coaching hours and additional requirements).
