To qualify for ICF Master Certified Coach, you must complete:
- 200 hours of coaching education
- 2,500 hours of coaching experience
- Holds or previously held a PCC Credential
Candidates for the MCC Credential must have at least 2,500 hours of coaching experience from the start of their coach-specific education.* Coaches must complete an attestation of this experience as part of the application.
The experience hours must have been with at least 35 clients. Of the 2,500 or more coaching experience hours, at least 2,250 of the hours must be paid.
*For this purpose, ICF defines the start of coach-specific education as any course with at least 30 hours of which at least 24 hours are in ICF Core Competencies instruction.
Candidates on the MCC Portfolio application path must document at least 10 hours of Mentor Coaching on their application. Mentor Coaching hours submitted with an MCC Credential application cannot be the same Mentor Coaching hours applied toward a previous application for the ACC or PCC Credential. Candidates on the Level 3 application path must have completed Mentor Coaching as part of their Level 3 coaching education program.
The MCC application is available only via the Portfolio Pathway.
If you completed a non-accredited program, you must provide detailed documentation showing that your training meets ICF standards.
If you completed an accredited program with the Academy of Solution Focused Training, no additional documentation is required — this makes the process faster and more streamlined (this is the pathway we offer).
