"Thank you all so much for everything, and for the thorough preparation for Certification. It’s hard to imagine any other training being more valuable (or with better folks, seriously). I’m very proud to be part of the SeattleCoach tribe." A SeattleCoach ACC
OK Coach. Are you ready?
You've worked hard at "doing the craft and being the coach."
And now the goal of international credentialing--of being awarded the Associated Certified Coach (ACC)
or the Professional Certified Coach (PCC) credential is in sight.
1. You need a copy of the signed certificate or PDF we sent to you at the end of Module II. That documentation will exceed the minimum number of hours that are required for your ACC, and it documents the hours of group mentor coaching you've completed. Please keep track of all of the documentation you receive from us.
2. For your ACC need to have logged at least 100 hours (or 200 half-hours . . . ) of coaching experience with at least eight clients. As you know, you can start logging from the first day of your Coach Training. Seventy-five of these hours must be paid, bartered or done as a part of your employment. The rest can be pro-bono. Here's the deal from the Playbook:
|
In your peer coaching in Module I and Module II, whether you’re the coach, the coachee or the observer, your actual hours spent with your peer coaches may be counted according to this formula: Fifteen hours can be counted as pro-bono. Fifteen as paid/bartered.
So, as with all your coaching hours, you’ll want to log them as you do them. You can find a copy of the spread sheet below on this page of the Coaches Hub. Any additional peer coaching with members of your Cohort or other Cohorts during Module I and Module II can be counted as bartered hours (i.e., “paid”). Following completion of Module II, you may count peer coaching hours as bartered/paid. And any peer coaching you complete in our Advanced SeattleCoach Cohorts can be considered “bartered/paid” hours as well. |
3. You’ll need signed documentation for 10 hours of mentor coaching over a minimum of three months. Unless you had to miss a session, you've already completed seven of those hours in Module ll in group mentor coaching with your Cohort. Now you need to complete three more full hours of individual mentor coaching.
4. Part of mentor coaching is the review and selection of a recorded session with one of your coachees. Your mentor coach will help you learn from and select one for assessment. The mentor coaching page explains how to create your recording (and transcript). Then you'll submit your application.
The big change is that for Cohorts 1-43, you'll submit your recording and transcript with your application and an ICF assessor will do your performance review.
For Cohorts 44 and onward, your recording and transcript will be reviewed by a SeattleCoach assessor and your passing score will be submitted along with your application.
5 . Either way, once your recording/performance review has passed and the ICF has your application, they will send you a link to take The ICF Credentialing Exam. This is an exam that "contains 81 situational judgment items. Each exam item contains a realistic scenario describing a coaching situation, followed by four response options. For each scenario, candidates are asked to select the best action and the worst action among the options provided for that scenario. "
Once you have completed exam with a passing grade of 70%, you'll have completed your ACC.
THEN . . .
