Do I have to attend an ICF accredited education program?

Modified on Wed, 25 Oct 2023 at 03:31 PM

Attending an ICF accredited program is recommended.

However, non-accredited programs that meet ICF's definition of coach-specific education are also accepted toward the education requirements once ICF has reviewed the course curriculum for an ICF Credential. 


ICF is not able to pre-approve education programs that are not already ICF accredited.
