Two ways to apply for your ICF Credential:
Portfolio Route: Requires you to sit the ICF's own examinations to pass a credential. For ACC, you are required to complete an oral assessment only. You can apply for ACC via the Portfolio route once you have 60 hours of coach specific training and 100 hours of coaching experience. For the PCC credential, you are required to complete both an oral and written examination.
ACTP Route: By completing an Accredited Coach Training Program (ACTP) in full, like the Results ICF Credential Pathway below, you are exempt from the ICF's own examinations. All you need to do is document your coaching hours.
