When the time arrives to renew your credential there are at least two considerations that should play into the decision
DO I RENEW OR DO I UPGRADE
RENEW
You will need to have participated in at least 40 hours of Continuing Coach Education (CCE) in the three years since the initial award of your credential or since your last credential renewal, with at least 24 hours in Core Competencies.
CCEUs are divided into two categories
Core Competencies: Advanced coach training, writing, or research directly related to ICF Core Competencies.
Resource Development: Training, writing, research, or self-study outside of the ICF Core Competencies that contributes to the professional development of a coach.
OR UPGRADE
You will need to have logged to more than 750 hours (675 paid) of coaching experience with at least 25 clients in total
OR
more than 500 hours (450 paid) of coaching experience with at least 25 clients following the start of your coach-specific training. At least 50 of these hours must occur within the 18 months prior to submitting the application for the credential
