Step One: In addition to Level One, complete the Asynchronous Coaching Applications Course and the 15 weeks of Level Two live classes.

• This provides the required training hours to apply for your PCC.
• Live classes are offered online using Zoom.
• Live classes are offered online using Zoom.
• The asynchronous course may be completed before or at the same time as the semester classes.
• Please Note:

• Many of our students decide to bypass the ACC credential and go directly for the PCC. You do not need to receive your ACC credential before advancing toward your PCC.

Step Two: Complete the mentor-coaching requirement.

• Group mentor-coaching will be provided during the 15 weeks of live classes.

• Three individual sessions with the Coaching4Clergy-approved mentor-coach of your choice are also required.

Step Three: Submit a recording of your coaching at the PCC level to Coaching4Clergy and apply for graduation.

• Your mentor-coach will provide guidance on your coaching recording.
• When applying for graduation there are a few additional requirements. Students will be asked to:

• Read and agree to uphold the ICF Code of Ethics.
• Pay in full all tuition fees prior to applying for graduation.
• Complete the application for graduation. All of the required documents are available in the Level One Graduation Class. Upload your files through the class assignments.
• Submit the Coaching4Clergy Coaching Performance Evaluation Report from your mentor-coach, which provides written feedback and specific evidence of your coaching ability. The evaluation must reflect coaching at the PCC level or higher. (A letter of recommendation from your mentor-coach does not meet this requirement.)
• Submit a recording, along with a written transcript, of your coaching for review by Coaching4Clergy. (The coachee may not be another coach or coaching student.) The recording must demonstrate coaching at the PCC level.

• Once you have successfully completed the above requirements, we will provide you with a graduation certificate. You will use this certificate to apply for your PCC credential from the ICF.

Step Four: Apply to the ICF for your PCC credential. When applying for your PCC, the ICF will require:

• A separate, additional application fee.
• A copy of your graduation certificate from Coaching4Clergy.
• A coaching log detailing 500 hours of coaching beginning after the start of your coach-specific training.
• A written exam, the ICF Credentialing Exam.
