Pass the ICF ACC on First Attempt: Ethics, Boundaries and Eight Competencies — 60 Questions in 90 Minutes

Three things go wrong on the way to the ACC, and none of them are about coaching skill.Hours logged in a category ICF does not count, discovered at submission.A recorded session that shows a consultant rather than a coach.An exam whose three domains the candidate never saw written down.None of this is hidden. It is spread across seven ICF documents that contradict each other inplaces, and most study material describes the wrong exam - the ICF Credentialing Exam, whichbelongs to PCC and MCC candidates. ACC candidates sit a different paper: 60 multiple-choicequestions in 90 minutes, weighted 30% Coaching Ethics, 30% Definition and Boundaries ofCoaching, 40% Coaching Competencies, Strategies and Techniques. Ethics and boundaries are60% of the exam, and they are what most candidates prepare least.This book stops all three.The frameworks that map to each: - The Coaching Log - stops the first: what counts as a paid hour, what never counts, and thelog that survives an audit.- The Self-Assessment Grid - stops the second: your recording marked against the behavioursICF's assessors listen for.- The 2026 Fact Sheet - stops the third: every published exam parameter on one page, withthe date you checked it.- The Ethics Answer Filter - the method for choosing between four options that all look likecoaching.57 templates inside - every one printed on the page. Nothing to download.Every fact here was checked against ICF's own pages and PDFs on 27 August 2026 and statedin ICF's words. Where ICF publishes nothing - an ACC pass rate, a per-competency weightingfor this exam - this book says so instead of guessing. 160 original practice questions, everywrong option explained. Unofficial and independent: not affiliated with, endorsed by orapproved by the International Coaching Federation, and no real exam questions appearanywhere.Check the ACC Exam page, then start at Chapter 1. Do not spend a fortnight preparing for thewrong paper.
