Once I take the updated ICF Credentialing Exam, will I need to take it again, if I apply for another credential?

At this time, the ICF Credentialing Exam must be taken with each new application for a Credential, even if the exam has already been passed. The ICF Credentialing Exam is part of the credential process. In alignment with the highest standards for credentialing bodies, each Credential is a stand-alone achievement and the applicant must complete all requirements for the Credential for which they applied.   ICF Credentials and Standards will be supporting ongoing updates to the ICF Credentialing Exam. ICF Credential-holders who apply for a higher level Credential in the future may see different forms of the exam to be completed at each Credential level as they apply.
