The ICF Credentialing Exam is a computer-administered exam designed to measure a coach’s understanding of and ability to apply the ICF Core Competencies, Code of Ethics and definition of coaching against a predetermined standard. Passing the exam is a requirement for candidates seeking an ICF credential. Launched in August 2022, the exam is informed by coach practitioners from around the world who served as subject matter experts in its development and in the establishment of the exam scoring standard.
