Information & Guidance - ICF CCEU’s 

From 1st May 2018, CSA Diploma in Coaching Supervision course is approved by ICF and carries 73 CCEUs. These are made up of 46 Core Competencies and 27 Resource Development. A further 8 CCEUs in Core Competencies can be gained from the compulsory supervision sessions attached to the course.  

CCEUs from Supervision Sessions: ICF members will record the hours of supervision, date and name of supervisor on the ICF credential renewal document. This is the process for individual members to claim the additional 8 CCEUs in Core Competencies.

ICF Policy

With this update, ICF Credential-holders will be permitted to count work with a Coaching Supervisor toward Continuing Coach Education (CCE) requirements in the area of Core Competencies for renewal of their ICF Credential.  These hours are accepted on an hour-for- hour basis, and there is no upper limit on the number of Coaching Supervision hours that can be applied toward an ICF Credential renewal applicant’s CCE requirement.

ICF’s Position on Coaching Supervision 

ICF recommends coaching supervision for full-time professional coach practitioners as part of their portfolio of CPD activities

Coaching supervision is sufficiently different from coaching that training to provide the knowledge and opportunity to practice supervision skills is needed.  As such, all coaching supervisors should receive coaching supervision training.

Additional notes

Coaching supervisors DO NOT have to have ICF credentials.  There is no need for supervisors to apply for approval.  

NB The ICF France Chapter insist that only ICF Master Certified Coaches can be on their registry of coach supervisors.  That is a local policy and not ICF global policy.
