Frequently asked questions
If you can’t find an answer to your question here, please get in touch.
What’s the difference between ICF Global and the UK Chapter, and do I need both?
ICF Global sets the profession’s standards, ethics and ICF credentials worldwide. The UK Chapter of ICF is your UK community, bringing that framework to life through development, events and support. They are separate memberships, and UK Chapter membership requires ICF Global membership, so join ICF Global first.
What does UK ICF Chapter membership include?
For just £50 a year, you get:
– access to a potential 100+ CCE units a year (at a discounted rate) and one free professional development series
– 25+ Local and Special Interest Groups
– A searchable Coach Finder profile
– Connections with 2,800+ UK coaches
– Practical guidance on ICF credentialing, ethics and standards
– A say in how coaching develops in the UK
Does the UK Chapter award ICF credentials?
No. ICF Global awards ACC, PCC and MCC credentials. The UK Chapter supports you on the way, with events, free CCE opportunities and practical guidance, so you know what each level needs and can keep yours up-to-date.
How much does it cost, and is it worth it?
UK Chapter membership is £50 a year, on top of ICF Global membership. It is designed to pay its way: free or discounted events where you can gain CCE credits, connections that lead to clients and a searchable Coach Finder profile to help your future clients find you. All these benefits can quickly outweigh the cost.
How do I sign up as a member of the UK Chapter of ICF?
