M.E.R. at a glance

Why is the ICF doing this?: 

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

What’s in it for me?: 

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 “A rising tide lifts all our boats”

What do I need to do?: 

What do I need to do? If you have a current ICF credential Do nothing and renew your membership by March 31! If you don’t have a credential, but have completed at least 60 hours of coach-specific training Do nothing and renew your membership by March 31!

What do I need to do?: 

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

How do I get the 60 hours?: 

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 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/

How do I get the 60 hours: 

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

More nuts and bolts: 

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.

Even more nuts and bolts: 

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

Myths: 

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!
