    The ICF Core Competencies

    The ICF Core Competencies were developed to provide an understanding of the skills and approaches that are used within the coaching profession today - and that are defined by the International Coaching Federation. 

    The Core Competencies also provide a foundation for the development of the ICF Coach Knowledge Assessment (CKA). 

    Erickson has chosen to display these competencies in a wheel as these core criteria are interlocking and are the key parts necessary to develop into a competent coach.
