Do I have to complete full certification for ICF hours?

No. As a Level 2 ICF provider, all CTI courses provide ICF education hours. You can claim hours from Foundations onward.

Can I go directly to PCC without getting ACC first?

Yes. Our Professional Certification program provides all education requirements for PCC. You’ll need to accumulate 500 client hours independently.

How does the new pathway affect ICF applications?

The new modular structure makes it easier. Each level provides clear credentials and hours that map directly to ICF requirements.

What if I already started under the old system?

Your hours and credentials transfer fully. Contact admissions for personalized pathway planning.

Do I need both CPCC and ICF credentials?

While not required, having both maximizes your marketability. CPCC shows transformational expertise; ICF shows industry standards.

How long does ICF approval take?

With our Level 2 status, approval typically takes 4-6 weeks after submission vs. 8-12 weeks for non-accredited programs.
