Why choose an ICF PCC-certified coach

The ICF PCC (Professional Certified Coach) credential represents the gold standard in professional coaching. It requires a minimum of 125 hours of coach-specific training, 500+ hours of coaching experience, and passing a rigorous credentialing exam administered by the International Coaching Federation — the world’s largest coaching body with 60,000+ members in 140+ countries.
