CCE Chapter Application

Status

INSTRUCTIONS

This application is for use by ICF Chapter representatives to request authorization to issue Continuing Coaching Education Units (CCE units) to attendees of Chapter educational offerings, including regular meetings and special events of one day or less.

Conferences

Chapters that are organizing conferences or multi-day events should contact ICF Staff at this address for instructions: maria.lester@coachingfederation.org

Non-ICF Events

Events that are not affiliated with an ICF Chapter may not be approved using this application. Organizers of those events will need to complete a CCE Provider Application which can be found at https://coachingfederation.org/for-coach-educators/icf-accreditation/cce/

Completing the Form

A separate form is required for each educational offering.

Please take the time to review the entire form and the CCE information prior to completing the form. Information regarding the different designations of CCE units is included at the end of this form. Events that are only offering resource development do not need approval from ICF, only events that will be offering core competencies or a combination of core competencies and resource development.

Submitting the Form

When you have completed the form you will have the option to print a copy for your records, you will need to print the form before you hit the submit button. After clicking the submit button at the bottom of the form it will automatically be forwarded to ICF.

In order to receive approval before the event, this form must be completed and submitted at least 2 weeks prior to the event to allow time for review by ICF staff. However, events may also be approved retroactively. Following the review, a notice granting or denying approval will be sent by email to the contact person that submitted the application.

If no part of your training is related to the ICF Core Competencies, you do not need to submit this application. The training is considered Resource Development, and you may give participants a certificate for Resource Development CCE units without ICF approval. If any portion of your training is related to the Core Competencies, submit the application, and the training can be approved as CCE units in Core Competencies for that portion and CCE units in Resource Development for the remainder.

CCE hours will be awarded in two categories: Core Competency and Resource Development.

To merit Core Competency designation, the training must be

1) coach-specific

2) relate to at least one of the 8 Core Competencies or the definition of coaching or the ICF Code of Ethics, and

3) help a coach directly in their work with the client.

All other content is considered Resource Development, including personal development, teaching a coaching model, tool or assessment, business building, new science, any other material that falls outside of the ICF Core Competencies.

Some training will be a split of Core and Resource. For example, teaching an assessment tool is resource information. Taking the student through the tool initially is considered personal development. Subsequently showing how the tool helps with goal setting or powerful questioning or establishing trust would merit partial Core designation.
