The Performance Coach Level 2 Program
Level 2 (PCC) Accredited Education
The Performance Coach Level 2 is an accelerated coach training program for professionals who want to build strong coaching capability through a more advanced and comprehensive learning pathway.
Unlike a step-by-step pathway that requires prior coaching experience before advancing, TPC Level 2 allows participants to enter directly into a more extensive coach education journey.
Program Structure
- Advanced Learning & Practicum
- Mentor & Observed Coaching
- Group Supervision
- Peer Coaching
- Performance Evaluation
With completion of a full PCC Level 2 program, participants can apply for the ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC) credential through the Level 2 Path. PCC applicants must also meet ICF’s current credentialing requirements
Earning your ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC) credential requires five key steps — and TPC Level 2 helps you complete three of them. A full ICF Level 2 pathway covers the education, mentor coaching, and performance evaluation components required for PCC.
Included in TPC Level 2
1. Education – Completion of a full 125+ hours of coaching education from TPC Level 2, which supports the education requirement for PCC.
2. Mentor Coaching – 10 hours of mentor coaching included within the TPC Level 2.
3. Performance Evaluation – A formal evaluation of your coaching skills is included as part of the TPC Level 2.
Your responsibility
4. Experience – To qualify for PCC, you must complete 500+ hours of coaching experience.
Administered by ICF
5. Credentialing Exam – Once you meet the education, mentor coaching, performance evaluation, and experience requirements, you apply to ICF and complete the ICF Credentialing Exam.
