Can I list my ICF Credential Status as "pending" once I have submitted an application?

No. You may only reference an ICF Credential in your marketing information, website or other materials after it has been officially granted by ICF. Because submission of an application does not guarantee that you will be granted an ICF Credential, referencing an ICF Credential prior to official receipt is misleading and potentially unethical. Making a false claim is a breach of the ICF Code of Ethics.
