ICF’s Associate Certified Coach (ACC)

Please visit the ICF website to see current requirements, which change periodically. Students who are interested in obtaining the ICF’s Associate Certified Coach (ACC) /Level 1 coaching credential must complete:

• ILCT’s 40-hour Foundations or Christian Foundations class
• 20 or more hours of electives
• 10 hours of Mentor Coaching *
• Level 1 Coaching Demonstration

ICF requires that no more than 50% of coach training hours may be self-directed.

* While mentor coaching may be done through our class, or privately with a qualified ICF credentialed coach, documentation will need to be presented to ILCT before proceeding.

Students who have met the above requirements will submit a recording of their coaching a client of 30 - 45 minutes in length to the Dean of Students, as well as a time-stamped transcript, as part of the review to demonstrate they are coaching at the ACC level.

Students will then earn a Level 1 Certificate of Completion which may be submitted to ICF and qualifies students to sit for the required CKA examination through the ACTP/Level 1 path.

The cost for completing the above is approximately $4,305, and will take about 6 - 8 months.
