ICF CPD at a glance
What happens in a ICF CPD audit?
At ICF credential renewal, you submit your CCE hours log through the ICF portal, categorised by type (Core Competencies or Resource Development) and including the provider name and dates. ICF may request supporting certificates. Keeping a well-organised CCE log from the start of your renewal period — with provider details, dates, and hours — makes the renewal submission fast and straightforward.

ICF CPD — frequently asked questions
How many CCE hours do ICF coaches need to renew their credential?
ICF requires 40 Continuing Coach Education (CCE) hours during each 3-year renewal period. Of these, at least 3 hours must be mentor coaching. Hours are split between Core Competencies (CC) and Resource Development (RD) categories, with a maximum of 24 RD hours permitted.
What is mentor coaching for ICF renewal?
Mentor coaching involves working with a qualified ICF-credentialed mentor coach (MCC or PCC) to develop your coaching skills through a series of individual or group coaching conversations. The 3 required mentor coaching hours are part of — not in addition to — your 40 CCE hours. These sessions should focus on the ICF Core Competencies.
What activities count as CCE hours for ICF?
ICF-approved CCE hours can come from ICF-accredited training programmes, workshops, webinars, conferences, and coaching supervision that is aligned with ICF Core Competencies or Resource Development areas. Only hours from ICF-approved providers (or activities that qualify under ICF guidelines) count toward your renewal.
Do I need to submit certificates for ICF renewal?
Yes — ICF requires evidence of your CCE hours at renewal, typically in the form of certificates or confirmation letters from approved providers. HourlyCPD lets you attach certificates to each activity log entry so they are always ready when you need them.
