Your journey to becoming a Master Certified Coach (MCC) is unique, and we recognize that your coaching education and experience may come from a variety of sources—including programs that are not ICF-accredited. The good news? You can move forward on your credentialing path with confidence using the MCC portfolio path.
The portfolio path allows you to use non-ICF-accredited education to pursue your MCC credential. This also requires you to show documentation of various aspects of the program you completed. The MCC sample application will show you how to share that documentation for review by ICF.
Attaining your MCC is something to be proud of. Don’t get bogged down in the minutia of requirements; rather, make your application more manageable with the MCC portfolio path sample application. This resource helps you understand exactly what to expect, so you can gather everything in advance and complete your application with confidence. Avoid last-minute stress by preparing ahead of time. Download the sample application now and take the next step toward earning your ICF credential with a clear understanding of what’s required.
