Flash cards, coloured pens and how to pass the colossal ICF credentialing exam

Hello, coaches! If you're studying for the ICF credentialing exam to achieve your PCC status, you're on the brink of a huge accomplishment. But first, you have to face the exam which demands a deep understanding of the ICF core competencies and ethical standards. It’s not just a test of knowledge; it’s an endurance challenge that requires you to give 162 answers in three hours. And I’ll bet you’re probably feeling more than just a bit nervous. I remember that feeling well!

That's why I've created a comprehensive guide to help you pass this final gate to being an accredited professional certified coach.

Saving you time

Coaches are busy. My guide's value isn't just in the content, but in the time it saves you from having to find all these resources and strategies themselves and it’s where I share my personal journey and all the resources I found useful: from free videos and mock tests to paid courses that provide crucial exam-type questions.

It’s a one-stop-shop for all the resources and methods needed to prepare efficiently and provides a clear, step-by-step approach to studying.

I've created this to help you master this exam, not by cramming, but by preparing with purpose and care.

How to study for the ICF exam

My 12 page study guide is also a practical roadmap on how to study.

It's built on a foundation of proven learning methods that worked for me. I'll show you how to use creative techniques like:

🟡 mind mapping

🟡 colour coding

🟡 index cards

I also explain how I used different resources, including reading the ICF Ethics Interpretative Statements and creating and listening to my own audio recordings to absorb the material more deeply.

And I share how the key to success is to absorb the eight ICF core competencies, the PCC markers, and the ICF Code of Ethics until they are in your bones. This will help you avoid "analysis paralysis" and make it easier to identify the correct answers during the exam.

Managing your well being

Beyond the study materials, a crucial part of passing is managing your well-being. My guide is packed with tips to help you manage your energy, from what to eat and drink to how to handle panic during the exam. I also share essential logistical tips, such as how to prepare the day before and what to do with the 5-minute break in the exam and what to watch out for.

"How to pass the colossal ICF exam and stay sane" is more than a list of resources; it's a caring companion on your journey to becoming an ICF accredited PCC coach and is filled with friendly, accessible advice that will make you feel prepared and confident.

Don't let the passing score of 76% intimidate you. As many people say, "It's a pass or a practice," and with this guide, you'll be well on your way to a pass. And because I want as many people to benefit from it as possible, it’s only 19.50 Euros.
