About The ICF: A Globally Recognized Organization
The International Coach Federation, founded in 1995, is the leading global organization for coaches, with more than 25,000 members and 12,000 credentialed coaches in more than 100 countries worldwide. ICF is dedicated to advancing the coaching profession by setting high ethical standards, providing independent certification, and building a worldwide network of credentialed coaches. The ICF offers the only globally recognized, independent credentialing program for coach practitioners.

Anyone can call himself or herself a life coach and establish their own coaching business with little or no training and certification. However, a credential designates a recognized level of expertise in coaching, as assessed by a reputable and widely known credentialing body like the ICF, and they offer designations such as the ACC, PCC, and MCC.
