The Gold Standard of Professional Coaching

Anyone can call themselves a coach, but ICF-credentialed coaches are professionals who meet stringent education and experience requirements. They understand and practice core coaching competencies that set the standard in the profession, and adhere to strict ethical guidelines. Upholding this gold standard of excellence is vital to ICF’s mission to protect and serve coaching consumers.

The path to becoming an ICF-credentialed coach can seem daunting, but ICF New Mexico can help you navigate ICF Global credentialing requirements confidently and successfully. Whether you’re renewing your credential or applying for a new one, we’re here to help.
