Where the heck am I going to get enough ICF CCE units to renew my credential by December 31st!
It’s that time of year! The seasons are changing, the leaves are turning, the squirrels are collecting and hiding nuts…
Coaches around the world are thinking…
Why did I wait???
If phones could still ring off the hook anymore – which I am pretty sure they can’t – that’s definitely what mine would be doing. Now it’s emails, with that old familiar question.
How does this ICF CCE thing work again?
Great question, and here’s a refresher:
You need 40 CCE units
- 24 CCE units must be in the Core Competency category
- 10 CCE units can be earned attending mentor coaching
- 16 CCE units can be in the Resource Development category
Here are some valid sources of Resource Development ICF CCE units
Non-coach specific training: Courses on business development, communication, negotiating, writing, or other topics that have contributed to your skill-building in coaching.
Reading: Reading coaching books, white papers, research documents, or self-study materials that have helped you grow as a coach.
Writing. Workshops, presentations, articles, or documents that you have written on topics related to coaching or coach development.
Research. Formal academic research that you have conducted relative to coaching or coach-related topics.
Archived Virtual Education or Live Attendance at ICF Chapter and Global events. Recordings of ICF events, presentations, and webinars. ICF members have access to a robust catalogue of rich coach learning through the ICF website.
ICF Approved training designated as self-study. Components of a formal and approved coaching training program that you are not required to attend in real-time but that you complete on a self-paced, individual basis.
WBECS this year, here is the CCE unit breakdown for the Full Summit
There are varying documentation requirements for each of these options. As I always recommend, see the ICF website for your most official and up-to-date information.
