CCE accreditation is designed for educational organizations that provide ongoing learning for coaches seeking professional development or credential renewal. This accreditation is best for delivering specialized, advanced coaching education.<\/p>\r\n
Your curriculum should be centered around one of the following to help with coach development:<\/p>\r\n
Learn More About ICF Core Competencies <\/a><\/p>\r\n Are you passionate about supporting coaches in their ongoing growth and development? Does your course build on existing coaching knowledge?\u00a0 If so, CCE accreditation will ensure your program meets ICF’s high standards and help you stand out as a trusted provider.<\/p>\r\n If you’re offering foundational coaching education or training, CCE isn’t the right fit – you’ll want to look at ICF’s Level 1 or Level 2 accreditation instead. Are you an ICF chapter? You may apply for CCE accreditation through our chapter application form<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n To apply for CCE accreditation, your program may offer up to 40 hours of continuing education. Linked courses can offer more hours as a continuing education path. Remember, CCE focuses on additional learning, not initial training. Programs offering only Resource Development CCE (e.g., personal development or business skills) do not qualify for full accreditation but can still award CCE credits independently.<\/p>\r\n Obtaining accreditation with ICF not only builds your credibility as part of the largest accredited coaching community in the world, but it also establishes you as a trusted authority in coaching education. With CCE accreditation specifically, you gain a number of additional benefits, too.<\/p>\r\n With over 50,000 ICF credential-holders worldwide, CCE accreditation positions you as a go-to resource for coaches seeking to fulfill their educational requirements for ICF credential renewal, which enables you to expand your reach and attract an audience of motivated, experienced coaches.<\/p>\r\n Coaches who need to fulfill continuous education requirements over time are likely to keep returning to trusted sources. By offering CCE, you can build a strong foundation for long-term engagement and repeat clients.<\/p>\r\n Because CCE is supplemental, it’s easy to package with other services, such as mentoring, group coaching, or additional courses, creating diversified income streams. Plus, CCE-accredited programs often command higher prices than non-accredited courses.<\/p>\r\n Since you don’t need to worry about covering the basics with CCE, you can design programs that cater to specific developmental needs or niche areas of coaching, making your offerings more attractive and specialized.<\/p>\r\n As you design and deliver a CCE program, you’ll deepen your own understanding of the ICF Core Competencies, ICF Code of Ethics, and best practices in coaching. This continuous process of learning and refinement enhances your own personal and professional growth as a coach and educator.<\/p>\r\n When you are ready to apply, you will submit your CCE application through the ICF Accreditation Portal. Typically, CCE applications are processed within 6-8 weeks. Upon approval, your CCE accreditation is valid for one year, and you apply for renewal at that point in time.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n Keep in mind, the process requires a non-refundable application fee. This fee varies by the number of student contact hours in your program. Here is the breakdown:<\/p>\r\n Start Now <\/a><\/p>\r\n All ICF-accredited programs align with ICF’s high standards for practice and ethics. To ensure your program demonstrates a commitment to quality and best practices in coaching, we require six different types of documentation in the application for CCE accreditation.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n You may choose one of the following options:\u00a0<\/p>\r\n Asynchronous learning programs must provide robust proof of a verification model within the CCE application. Examples of verification of learning include, but are not limited to:\u00a0<\/p>\r\n Validity of these methods will be decided on a case-by-case basis; acceptance of the model is at the ICF accreditation coordinator’s discretion.<\/p>\r\n You will need to provide the following details:\u00a0<\/p>\r\n Course materials must be uploaded with the CCE accreditation application. Please submit at least one of the following:\u00a0<\/p>\r\n Course materials may be submitted in the following file formats: .pdf, .doc, .docx, .xls, .csv, .txt, .rtf, .html, .zip, .mp3, .wma, .mpg, .flv, .avi, .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .gif, .xlsx.<\/p>\r\n You are required to provide a detailed schedule with instructional time for the program submitted for accreditation. Please ensure the program schedule contains the following:<\/p>\r\nWho Is CCE Accreditation For?<\/h3>\r\n
