Information & Guidance - ICF CCEU’s -
Update for 2020 -
For courses starting in 2020 the CSA Diploma in Coaching Supervision course has continued its approved status with the ICF and now carries 108.5 CCEUs. These are made up of 77.5 Core Competencies and 31 Resource Development.
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.

Some group work in action from the 2020 CSA NA Program held in Princeton, New Jersey
“CSA supervision course bought together all my prior learning and experience resulting in a deepening in all areas of my work. It is a holistic course encompassing many of the great psychological teachings with contemporary coaching techniques and thinking. It was rigorous, academic, theoretical, awareness raising and self-reflective. The wealth of knowledge, wisdom and experience of the tutors gave the course solidity, credibility and diversity. They were very inspiring, supportive and inclusive. It put supervision in a context as an essential tool for coaching and clearly demonstrated the qualitative value to a coach’s practice.” LL.
"Just a quick note to say thank you very much for your wonderful guidance over the last 12 months. The CSA program has been the richest program that I have ever attended, and I have thoroughly enjoyed every moment" BU.
“I can say at this point in my career and life that the CSA program has opened many inner and outer doors, thus transforming my experience as a professional coach and enlightening me as a person along the way.” KG .
“I joined CSA’s north America program with the goal of building skills to supervise other coaches, but that only scratches the surface of the positive changes which have occurred since I began the program. Without doubt, my own coaching work is moving to another level: more present, more connected, more courageous. And in the conversations with my supervisees, the learning is absolutely two-way. I come away from each supervision session with insights, and a deeper appreciation for the challenges and joys of coaching practice. CSA is a program I can wholeheartedly and unreservedly recommend!” PW.
