The Evolution of the ICF Core Competencies

This Webinar will take attendees on a clear, practical journey through “how the ICF Core Competencies have evolved over the years”—from the early foundations of the profession to the latest 2025 updates. Expect a structured, story-led walkthrough of what changed, why it changed, and what it means for coaching practice, learning, and assessment today.

Who this is for
Designed for ACC, PCC, and MCC credential-holders, as well as ACC/PCC/MCC candidates, coach training students, mentor coaches, supervisors, and members across ICF Chapters globally. Add to that list anyone curious about professional coaching.

What you’ll take away
You will leave with a clearer “through-line” across the competency versions, an understanding of what the 2025 updates signal about the direction of the profession, and practical implications you can apply to coaching conversations, mentoring/supervision, training, and assessment readiness.
