“Any 40 hours will do.” — Not quite.
You need 40 CCEs every 3 years, with at least 24 hours in Core Competencies and at least 3 hours specifically in coaching ethics (those ethics hours count inside Core). The remaining 16 can be Core or Resource Development. ACC renewals always need Mentor Coaching—and it must span 3+ months.
ACC holders must complete 10 hours of Mentor Coaching with an eligible mentor coach over a minimum of three months every renewal cycle. (Tip: verify your mentor’s credential status.) Mentor Coaching & Supervision can count as Core CCEs (not just “extras”).
For PCC/MCC (and toward ACC totals), up to 10 hours of Mentor Coaching and up to 10 hours of Coaching Supervision—giving or receiving—may be applied to the 40 CCEs and count as Core Competency CCEs. Team coaches: ACTC CCEs can “double count.”
To renew ACTC you need 20 team-coaching CCEs (16 tied to Team Coaching Competencies). Those same 20 hours may also be submitted toward your ACC/PCC/MCC renewal in the same cycle. Self-study reading isn’t Core—it's Resource Development only.
Books and articles that develop you as a coach count only as Resource Development; they don’t fulfill Core Competency hours unless part of accredited/approved learning that maps to Core.
Emphasis on Employee Well-being and PurposeOrganizations are increasingly recognizing the importance of holistic employee well-being. This involves not only physical health but also mental and emotional support. Leaders are focusing on creating environments where employees find purpose and fulfillment, leading to enhanced engagement and productivity. Integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Organizational ProcessesAI continues to revolutionize organizational structures and workflows. The rise of roles such as Chief AI Officer underscores the strategic importance of AI in decision-making and operational efficiency. Organizations are leveraging AI to automate tasks, enhance data analytics, and drive innovation. Evolution of Leadership RolesThe traditional C-suite is expanding to include positions like Chief Transformation Officer and Chief Experience Officer. This reflects a shift towards more specialized leadership to navigate complexities in areas such as digital transformation, employee experience, and sustainability. Focus on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)Organizations are intensifying efforts to create inclusive workplaces that value diverse perspectives. This includes implementing strategies to ensure equitable opportunities and fostering cultures where all employees feel valued and respected.Adoption of Hybrid Work ModelsThe pandemic has accelerated the adoption of hybrid work arrangements. Organizations are redesigning workspaces and policies to accommodate flexible work schedules, balancing in-person collaboration with remote work to meet employee preferences and operational needs.Prioritization of Change Management CompetenciesWith rapid technological advancements and market shifts, there’s a heightened focus on enhancing leaders’ abilities to manage change effectively. This involves developing skills to navigate organizational transformations and foster resilience among teams.Implementation of Quiet Hiring PracticesOrganizations are increasingly focusing on internal talent mobility, identifying and upskilling existing employees to fill critical roles. This strategy, known as “quiet hiring,” leverages institutional knowledge and provides cost-effective solutions to talent shortages. Development of Workplace EcosystemsThe concept of workplace ecosystems is gaining traction, integrating physical and digital environments to support modern, distributed work models. This approach aims to create seamless experiences for employees, enhancing collaboration and productivity. Emphasis on Transcendent LeadershipThere’s a growing recognition of leadership that transcends traditional hierarchical models, focusing on holistic development, inclusivity, and ethical practices. Transcendent leaders empower individuals at all levels, fostering collaboration and aligning organizational goals with social and environmental values.Hybrid Work 2.0 & Employee ExperienceHybrid work is evolving beyond flexibility to focus on digital collaboration, employee well-being, and redefined office spaces. Organizations leverage VR, AI-driven productivity tools, and asynchronous work models to enhance employee satisfaction.Skills-based talent architecture Data‑Driven HR & Predictive People Analytics

5 common misconceptions or overlooked facts about earning ICF CCE credits for ICF credential renewal
Bonus overlooked fact: ICF-accredited Level 1/2/3/AATC programs include ethics content—you may document 3 ethics CCEs when entering these programs.
Draft LinkedIn posts (not yet edited, so these need to be reviewed for accuracy and language before using):
Post 1 – The “Any 40 hours will do” Myth
Hook:
Think any 40 hours of CCEs will renew your ICF credential? Not quite.
Content:
Here’s the breakdown you actually need:
✅ 24 hours in Core Competencies (includes 3 in Ethics)
✅ 16 hours in either Core or Resource Development
Tip: Always check that your learning maps to Core Competencies, not just “general development.”
CTA:
Curious which of your learning hours count? We’ve got you covered with upcoming programs in The Coaching Village.

Post 2 – ACC Renewals & Mentor Coaching
Hook:
If you hold an ACC, you can’t renew without Mentor Coaching.
Content:
Here’s what many coaches overlook:
🔑 ACC renewal requires 10 hours of Mentor Coaching
⏳ Must be spread across at least 3 months
👩🏫 Your mentor must hold a valid ACC, PCC, or MCC
It’s not just a box to tick—it’s a chance to deepen your practice with feedback from an experienced coach.

Post 3 – Mentor Coaching & Supervision Count as Core
Hook:
Think Mentor Coaching and Coaching Supervision don’t “count” toward renewal? They do.
Content:
You can apply:
👉 Up to 10 hours of Mentor Coaching
👉 Up to 10 hours of Coaching Supervision (giving or receiving)
Both count as Core Competency CCEs toward your 40-hour requirement.
Translation: the conversations that help you grow as a coach also help you renew.
CTA:
That’s why we’ve built weekly Mentor Coaching and monthly Supervision into the Mastery Circle.

Post 4 – ACTC Renewal: Double Benefit
Hook:
Team coaches—did you know your ACTC CCEs can “double count”?
Content:
To renew ACTC you need:
✅ 20 CCEs in Team Coaching (16 tied to Team Coaching Competencies)
Here’s the bonus: those same 20 hours also apply toward your ACC/PCC/MCC renewal in the same cycle.
A powerful way to grow your practice while streamlining renewal.
CTA:

Post 5 – Reading ≠ Core CCEs
Hook:
“I read coaching books—those count as Core CCEs, right?” Not exactly.
Content:
Self-study reading or articles = Resource Development CCEs only.
To earn Core Competency CCEs, you need accredited/approved learning tied to ICF Core Competencies.
So yes, reading helps—but it won’t fill your Core requirement.
