Ensure Quality Control

An ICF-accredited ACTP [Level 2] program is required to fully comply with ICF standards for training, mentoring, and assessment.

However, many programs use the term “Level 2” as a marketing label while not actually meeting the official accredited structure.

coachingfederation.org/coach-training/actp-accreditation

A truly accredited ACTP Level 2 program must appear in the official ICF Training Program Directory , where the Level 2 status is shown explicitly.
