What sets ICF credentialed coaches apart from other coaches?

Coaching isn't legally regulated, but having an ICF Credential helps coaches stand out as professionals. 

It shows they've completed verified training, coaching hours, assessments, and follow standards of practice. This helps coaching clients trust that they're working with a qualified coach, and that their investment in coaching is a wise one. It also shows the coach is committed to the maintenance of competence by renewing their credential every three years.
