It’s Never Too Soon: Tips for Professional Development and Credential Renewal

ICF credentials are valid for three years following the award date or the date of the last renewal. It’s never too early to create a professional development plan for your next credential renewal cycle!

Mentor Coaching Hours Can Fulfill CCE Requirements in Core Competencies

To support ongoing development of coaching skills, ACC credential-holders are required to receive 10 hours of mentor coaching for credential renewal, which may be used toward the required CCEs for renewal. Receiving mentor coaching is a requirement every time you renew your ACC.

PCC and MCC credential-holders have the option to submit a maximum of 10 hours of mentor coaching, either as recipients or providers of mentor coaching services, to fulfill CCE unit requirements in Core Competencies.
