What is the ICF CCE?

ICF CCE stands for International Coach Federation Continuing Coach Education. This is not a program but a pathway to renew ICF credentials or to achieve credentials under portfolio pathway. It is an accreditation coach training institutes to be able to deliver training for those who want to renew their ICF credentials. As per ICF policy every coach should need to renew his/her credentials after every three years and need to undergo 40 hours of supplemental and advanced coach education. These 40 units can be acquired from an ICF CCE approved training institutes only.

ICF CCE Courses for ICF Credentialing

ICF CCE accumulated hours can be used for achieving credentials for ACC, PCC or MCC. If you have acquired a number of hours that meet the requirement of coaching training hours of any level, and if you have required mentoring hours and coaching experience hours as well you can apply to ICF under portfolio pathway to achieve credentials of that level. For example, if you have acquired 60 hours coaching training under CCE, undergone 10 hours of mentoring and have 100 hours of coaching experience as well. It means that you meet all the requirements of ACC level, and you can apply for ACC level of credentials under portfolio pathway and can achieve ACC level of credentials.

ICF CCE Courses for credential renewal

If you an ICF certified coach, you must be aware of renewing credentials after every 3 years. Once you are ICF certified coach, you have to get your credentials renewed with ICF in order to maintain ICF coaching credentials. Generally ICF CCE courses are preferred by credentialed coach for renewals. A credentialed coach requires having 40 hours of CCE in three years before applying for renewals. These 40 hours of CCE have few requirements, here are these:-

ICF CCE Requirements:-

  • When you are collecting your CCE hours, you need to undergo at least 24 hours of training on core competencies.
  • There is another requirement of undergoing minimum 3 hours of training on coaching ethics. (it can also be achieved by completing free online course of ICF)
  • Those who have validity of their credentials till or later than December 31st 2018, they can use the 10 hours of mentoring towards CCEs in Core Competencies.
