The revised Code of Ethics will be released on April 1, 2025. This revision included primarily structural updates (not so much conceptual) so the Code of Ethics revisions will not have an immediate impact on the ICF Credentialing Exam (which is scenario-based). The ICF Credentialing Exam is refreshed annually so future iterations of the exam will reflect the updated Code.
For those taking the ICF Credentialing Exam in the near future, either version of the Code of Ethics will be sufficient to prepare for the exam.
For those taking the ACC Exam, the ACC Exam is knowledge based, and ACC candidates to should study the Code of Ethics without the 2025 revisions in anticipation of their ACC Exam.
