For the ACC and PCC Credentials offered there are two applications that you can use to apply for the credential. These application types are called:

  • ACTP Application - This is for individuals who have completed an ICF Accredited Coach Training Program (ACTP)

The MCC Credential only has one application type called the MCC Application.
