If your coaching education program holds ICF Level 1 accreditation, the Final Renewal Survey is an essential step in maintaining that status. This process confirms that your program continues to meet ICF’s standards for high-quality coach education at the Associate Certified Coach (ACC) level.
As part of your renewal, you’ll be asked to submit the following:
- A current course outline or syllabus.
- A confirmation of the total number of accredited education hours.
- An up-to-date faculty list.
- A participant list from your most recent program (in compliance with GDPR).
- A recorded coaching session, transcript, and written feedback that align with the ICF Core Competencies and meet the ACC performance level.
- An agreement to statements regarding compliance, limitations, and ongoing program commitments.
This survey plays a vital role in upholding the quality and integrity of Level 1 accredited programs — reinforcing your program’s credibility and continued recognition in the coaching profession.
