I've found that many coaches are confused about how to apply and get their ICF credential- about what the different levels and paths are and I run a number of calls each month to take coaches through it.
Susan contacted me for one of these calls. She wanted to find out what was needed in terms of mentoring for ICF. She was keen to get a professional qualification that would increase her credibility as a coach.She had planned to embark on another ICF accredited coach training programme to give her the additional hours she thought she needed. It was going to cost her £7,000 and take a further 9 months, but it wasn't necessary for her in order to apply for her PCC credential. She could do it by a different path.
