The International Coach Federation (ICF) is the leading global organisation for coaches, with over 19 000 international members.  It exists to advance the coaching profession by setting high ethical standards, provide independent certification, and build a worldwide network of credentialed coaches.  The ICF is the only organisation that awards a global credential which is currently held by 6 000 coaches worldwide.
