ICF CREDENTIAL APPLICATION PATHS:
​Portfolio, ACSTH, AND ACTP

​Once you choose a credential (ACC, PCC or MCC), the next step is to choose an application path. The ICF outlines three application paths for obtaining an ACC or PCC (Portfolio, ACSTH and ACTP) and one application path for obtaining an MCC.
The ORSC Curriculum is ICF accredited as coach-specific training hours for any credential level and application path, and is separated into two programs for ease of credentialing:
  • ACSTH: the ORSC Training Series (applicable towards ACC, PCC, or MCC)
  • ACTP: the ORSC Universe Program (applicable towards ACC, PCC, or MCC)​

ACSTH | ORSC™ TRAINING SERIES
​(84 Coach-Specific Training Hours)

Applicable towards an ACC, PCC*, or MCC
Students who complete the five-course ORSC training series may apply for, or renew, any ICF credential using the ACSTH application path. The ORSC Training series consists of:
  • ORSC Fundamentals or Organization & Relationship Systems at Work
  • Intelligence: a Roadmap for Change
  • Geography: Roles & Structure
  • Path: Vision & Potential
  • Systems Integration: Moving toward Mastery

* Note: a PCC requires 125 hours of coach-specific training. To use the PCC ACSTH path, all 125 hours must be earned through ACSTH accredited providers. If the remaining 41 hours are earned through non-ACSTH accredited programs the PCC Portfolio path must be used.

ACTP | ORSC™ UNIVERSE
​(180.5 Coach-Specific Training Hours)

Applicable towards an ACC, PCC, or MCC
