  1. ICF’s Role in the Professionalization of Coaching Janet Harvey, MCC, ICF Global President

  2. ICF by the numbers • Members: 21,700+ in 110 countries • Chapters: 120+ in 50 countries • Credential holders: 8,000+ in 81countries • ACC: 5,203 • PCC: 2,547 • MCC: 631

  3. New ICF Membership Eligibility Requirements

  4. What is the new policy? • As of April 1, 2013, individuals must have completed at least 60 hours of coach-specific training to remain a member of the ICF, in addition to paying membership dues and agreeing to abide by the ICF Code of Ethics.

  5. What does it mean? • To continue as an ICF member: complete 60 hours of coach-specific training by April 1, 2013 • For new members to the ICF: be enrolled in an ICF-approved (ACTP or ACSTH) – 60 hours minimum – coach training program by April 1, 2012

  6. M.E.R. at a glance

  7. Why is the ICF doing this? • Support for the ICF as the leading coaching organization in the world. • “…ICF members represent the highest quality in professional coaching.” (ICF Strategic Plan) • Raises the standard for the profession overall (recognition that coaching does involve specific competencies and training). • Provides a level of quality assurance for purchasers of coaching services from ICF member coaches.

  8. What’s in it for me? • Individual members benefit from: • Increased credibility; • Being sought after as a member of the world’s leading coaching organization; • Being part of the trusted “go-to-place” for coaching inquiries from news media, schools, and potential clients; and • “A rising tide lifts all our boats.”

  9. What do I need to do? • If you have a current ICF Credential: • Do nothing and renew your membership • If you don’t have a credential, but have completed at least 60 hours of coach-specific training: • Do nothing and renew your membership

  10. What do I need to do? • If you have not yet completed 60 hours of coach-specific training: • Current members have until April 1, 2013 to complete 60 hours. • New members to the ICF need to declare enrolment in an ICF approved (ACTP or ACSTH) - 60 hours minimum - coach-training program – as of April 1, 2012

  11. How do I get the 60 hours? • Ensure the coach-training program meets the ICF requirements: • ICF ACTP program: Yes (automatic 125 hours minimum) • ICF ACSTH program: Yes, if it’s at least 60 hours of training! • ICF CCE program: Yes, you need 60 hours total AND • All hours approved in Core Competencies will be accepted; and • A maximum of 12 hours outside of the Core Competencies will be accepted. • Check the training program search service: http://www.coachfederation.org/icfcredentials/program-search/

  12. How do I get the 60 hours? • Ensure the coach-training program meets the ICF requirements: • Non-ICF approved program: Ensure it is training that is specifically marketed as teaching coaching skills, that teaches coaching skills or teaches how to apply technical skills in a coach-like manner and teaches coaching skills in accordance with the ICF Core Competencies.

  13. Equivalency • ICF membership requirements may be met by a competence equivalency of coaching credentials awarded by other coaching associations. Learn more at: http://www.coachfederation.org/MER/.

  14. More nuts and bolts • At least 48 of the 60 hours must be: • Direct interaction with a trainer (voice-to-voice or in-person training; not cyber courses, mail-in courses, or self-study). • From a program other than ICF conference, SIG, Virtual Education, or chapter events. • Teaching the ICF Core Competencies (all Core Competencies must be covered). • The remaining hours may be self-study, from an ICF event, teaching coaching-related topics, or a combination. However, all hours must be part of a program with the purpose of training coaches.

  15. Even more nuts and bolts • Training that is accepted as coach specific training: • Training from an Accredited Coach Training Program (ACTP) or a program that has received the ICF Approved Coach Specific Training Hours (ACSTH) designation • Training from a Continuing Coach Education (CCE) Provider, subject to these limitations: • All hours approved in Core Competencies will be accepted • A maximum of 12 hours outside of the Core Competencies will be accepted • Training that is specifically marketed as teaching coaching skills, that teaches coaching skills or teaches how to apply technical skills in a coach-like manner and teaches coaching skills in accordance with the ICF Core Competencies

  16. Myths • I need to have an ICF Credential (ACC, PCC or MCC) to retain ICF membership. • You need 60 hours of coach-specific training. • I need to send in all my certificates, diplomas, CCEU documents, etc. • You need to declare / attest to your level of training and/or credential – keeping in mind that mis-representation of qualifications is prohibited by our ICF Code of Ethics!
