Can Coaching Supervision take the place of Mentor Coaching for an ACC Credential renewal?

August 31, 2022

Not at this time. Given Coaching Supervision’s broader focus to include supporting the coach and sharing wisdom as compared to Mentor Coaching’s focus on a coach’s skill in the ICF Core Competencies, only Mentor Coaching is accepted to meet the Mentor Coaching requirements for an ICF Credential and its renewal. 

Can two ACCs mentor each other for credential renewal?

August 31, 2022

Yes, you can serve as another ACC’s mentor, and they in turn can mentor you. Both ACCs need to have renewed their credential at least one time for this exchange to be eligible. 

Do I have to complete an additional 10 hours of Mentor Coaching each time I renew my ACC Credential?

August 31, 2022

Yes.  ACC Credentialed coaches are required to complete an additional 10 hours of Mentor Coaching following the initial award of their credential or since their last credential renewal. This requirement is intended to promote continued growth as a coach and help move you to the next credential level.
