2026 ICF Core Competencies

Where coaches are
forged.

Mastery isn't studied — it's earned in the fire. Coach AI clients out loud or in writing, experience master-level demonstration coaching, and receive rigorous, evidence-anchored competency feedback calibrated to ACC, PCC or MCC — with every transcript and report exportable as a PDF.

Transcript evaluation

Paste, upload or transcribe a session. Every observation is tied to a timestamped quote and a specific ICF competency, with the stronger move spelled out.

AI client practice

Coach a randomly generated or self-described client who stays in character, resists, deflects and shifts like a real person — then evaluate the transcript in one click.

MCC demonstration

Sit in the client chair and be coached at master level. Ask what the coach was doing and it names the competency and the intent behind the move.

Talk or type

Hold the whole session out loud, hands-free — put the phone down and coach. The AI voice hears you interrupt and yields, just like a real conversation. Switch to typing any time.

Feedback calibrated to where you are

Set your credential level and every evaluation is judged against that marker set. Not yet credentialed? You'll also get an honest assessment of the level your coaching currently demonstrates.
