ICF Credential Exam (PCC+MCC)
Jigsaw.coach is delighted to offer ICF PCC and MCC Credential Examination (ICE) preparation materials. These resources and the full mock exam is designed around the Core Competencies and is primarily for coaches who are preparing to take the examination, but it will also be beneficial for any coaches who wish to further develop their competencies.
The ICF Credential Exam (formerly known as the ICF Coach Knowledge Assessment) is a requirement for any coach who wishes to go through the credentialing process to move from ACC to PCC or PCC to MCC. Coaches who are just renewing their credential at the same level (not upgrading) will not be required to complete the exam. Coaches who are applying for ACC level only will be required to sit the ACC (ACE) exam, more details can be found here.
What does the test include and how is it designed?
- The test consists of 78 questions and lasts for 3 hours.
- Each multiple-choice question is designed to test the coach’s knowledge of the ICF Core Competencies by providing a realistic scenario followed by four possible responses.
- The coach is required to choose the best action and the worst action for each question. Although more than one option may represent a reasonable response to the scenario presented, candidates will receive credit only for selecting the best possible and the worst possible action.
- Coaches need to score at least 76% to receive a pass grade.
