Coaching Hours: How does GoMasterCoach help me accumulate practice hours?
We know how tough it can be, especially at the beginning of a Coaching journey, to find clients to practice with. You can join our Peer Coaching Network, where like-minded coaches (beginners or not) will reciprocally practice with you. Totally free.
Coaching Hours: I see that 70% of my practice hours need to be paid, what does that mean?
"Paid" does not need to be monetary or have a minimum price; it can also be an exchange of services. Reciprocal peer coaching and coaching as part of your job will count as paid. If you coach someone and they pay for your coffee, that's also "paid."
Coaching Hours: How can I track my coaching practice hours?
When you submit your application, you will have to tick a box to acknowledge that you have done all the required Coaching Hours (100 hours for ACC). ICF can audit you randomly. You will have to provide the list of Client Names: for each Contact Information, if Individual/Group, Number in Group, Start Date, End Date, Paid hours, Pro-bono hours.
You can also track your hours automatically through the GoMasterCoach Toolbox.
Mentoring: Tell me more about the 10 hours of Mentoring
You need to be Mentored for 10 hours:
-
Over a minimum of 3 months.
-
Your mentor must be an ACC renewed, PCC or MCC.
-
A maximum of 7 hours of the 10 mentoring hours can be done as group mentoring (with less than 10 participants).
-
A minimum of 3 hours of the 10 mentoring hours must be one-on-one coaching with the mentor. You have the flexibility to choose GoMasterCoach Founders as your mentors.
Mentoring: How can I find a Mentor?
Your mentor has to be ACC renewed, PCC or MCC. You can email us on info@gomastercoach.com so that we guide you to some mentors suitable to your needs.
Performance Evaluation: Can you tell me more?
To become ICF Certified, you need to submit a voice recording of a complete coaching session (between 20 to 60 minutes) with a regular client. You need to submit a written transcript of this recording. You can decide for GoMasterCoach to review your transcript, which will fasten your application process (from 14 weeks to 4 weeks).
Coach Knowledge Assessment: How can I practice?
Once your application is validated by the ICF (ACC or PCC) (i.e. after you have validated your training hours + coaching hours + mentoring hours + performance evaluation), the ICF will send you a link for an online exam.
The ICF Credentialing Exam contains 81 situational judgment items. Each exam item contains a realistic scenario describing a coaching situation, followed by four response options. For each scenario, candidates are asked to select the best action and the worst action among the options provided for that scenario.
​
There is only one correct best action and one correct worst action for each coaching scenario. Although more than one response may represent a reasonable response to the scenario presented, candidates will receive credit only for selecting the best possible action or the worst possible action.
​
The passing score and all exam results on the ICF Credentialing Exam are reported as scaled scores. The range of possible scores is 200 to 600, with a passing score of 460.
​
We have a 100% success rate with applicants going through GoMasterCoach. You can retake the exam for $75. GoMasterCoach's training prepares you for the exam. Also GoMasterCoach provides mock exams to get you ready.
What is the difference between ACC, PCC and MCC?
There are three levels in ICF:
-
ACC (Associate Certified Coach),
-
PCC (Professional Certified Coach),
-
MCC (Master Certified Coach).
​
ACC is the entry level.
Each level has different requirements in terms of number of Training Hours and Coaching Experience (as per graph). All require 10 hours of Mentoring. From PCC, you need to submit 2 Performance Evaluations (versus 1 for ACC).You can decide to apply directly to PCC.
What is the difference between ACSTH and ACTP?
To be ACC accredited, you can decide between ACTP (Accredited Coach Training Program) or ACSTH (Approved Coach Specific Training Hours).
The main differences:
-
Training Hours: You need to do 125 hours of Training through ACTP compared to 60 hours through ACSTH. Hence, ACTP programs tend to take longer to complete (typically 6 months - 2 years) compared ACSTH (3-5 months).
-
1:1 Mentoring: With ACTP, your training institute will provide mentors to you. With ACSTH, you can pick any mentor (as long as ACC renewed or PCC).
-
Performance Evaluation: ACTP provider covers Performance Evaluation, whereas with ACSTH, the Performance Evaluation is done by ICF.
-
After becoming an ICF member ($265 annual), to apply for ACC, you will pay $200 less through ACTP ($375 for ACSTH or $175 for ACTP).
-
The estimated timeline for application review by the ICF is 14 weeks for ACSTH compared to 4 weeks for ACTP.
