You’re closer than you think, and ICF Georgia is here to help you cross the finish line.
Earned your Level 1 Accredited Certificate and wondering what comes next? Your ICF ACC credential is within reach.
The Associate Certified Coach (ACC) is ICF’s foundational credential. It signals that you have met rigorous education and experience standards and can apply the ICF Core Competencies, the Code of Ethics, and the ICF definition of coaching in your work with clients.
If you graduated from an ICF-accredited Level 1 program, you have a real advantage. Level 1, Level 2, and ACTP programs build the required coach-specific education, mentor coaching, and performance evaluation directly into the curriculum. That means your route to the ACC comes down to documenting your coaching experience hours, submitting your program certificate, and passing the ACC Exam.
There are still details worth getting right: 100 or more client coaching hours across at least 8 clients, 75 of them paid, plus preparing for a 60-question exam that covers coaching ethics, the boundaries of coaching, and coaching competencies and techniques.
That is where this session comes in.
