The ICF Core Competencies were developed to support a greater understanding of the skills and approaches used within today's coaching profession as defined by ICF. These competencies and the ICF definition of coaching serve as the foundation of the Credential process, including the ICF written examinations.
The ICF Core Competencies are organized into four domains based on commonalities and interdependencies between competencies within each domain. There are no domains nor individual competencies that are weighted — they do not represent any kind of hierarchy. Rather, each competency is considered core and critical for any competent coach to demonstrate.
The ICF Core Competencies were originally created in 1998, consisting of 11 Core Competencies. In November 2019, ICF released an updated version containing 8 Core Competencies.
To learn more about the updated ICF Core Competencies, please watch the Updated Core Competency Video Series on ICF's YouTube page.
