Copy of ICF Global -> original

All credential applicants must complete a Coach Knowledge Assessment (CKA) consisting of multiple-choice questions. The CKA is only required to be completed one time.

Rationale

The ICF conducted an extensive study to gain an understanding of the knowledge and skills important in the practice of coaching. The results of the study showed that coaches rely heavily on the ICF definition of coaching, Core Competencies and Code of Ethics in their professional practice. With this in mind, we concluded that holders of the ICF Credential should be able to demonstrate a clear understanding of this body of knowledge. A broad team of ICF coaches serving as subject-matter experts contributed to the creation of the ICF Coach Knowledge Assessment, a tool that can be used to measure this understanding. We believe that requiring passage of this exam will help ensure that ICF Credential-holders understand the foundational knowledge that we believe is so important for the development of high-quality professional coaches.

Procedure

Once an applicant’s credential application is approved, ICF staff will contact the applicant via email with an invitation to take the Coach Knowledge Assessment. The invitation will contain log in and password information with instructions on how to access the online test portal.
