ICF Global vs ICF Chapter Membership

There is often confusion over ICF Global Membership and Individual Chapter membership. This page will explain the differences in membership.

ICF Global Membership

Empowering the World

As a membership organization, ICF Global is the governing body and the membership that grants accreditation to coaches that have passed a Coach Knowledge Assessment and met the requirements for a number of coaching hours and coach education hours. In addition, ICF Global has a variety of programs and resources available to members. With your ICF Global membership, you may choose a chapter to associate with, but that affiliation does not automatically include membership to that local chapter. 

You can learn more about ICF Global membership below.
