What to check before paying
Select the path that matches your education and evidence before comparing prices. Budget separately for any education or mentor coaching you still need. ICF’s scheduling page lists a US$105 retake charge. Review the current retest and appointment-change rules if you already have an authorisation.
How much does a PCC application cost?
ICF publishes credential application fees in US dollars by pathway and membership status. The application fee covers review and the initial exam. These figures are for ICF credentialing and exclude coaching education and optional study materials. The estimated review time comes before the separate exam scheduling window.
| Application path | ICF member | Nonmember | ICF review estimate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Level 2 | US$375 | US$525 | 4 weeks |
| Portfolio | US$750 | US$900 | 18 weeks |

Frequently asked questions
Is the first PCC exam included in the application fee?
Yes. ICF’s credential application fee covers the initial sitting as well as the application review.
Why are the Level 2 and Portfolio prices different?
ICF publishes separate charges for the two review pathways. Choose the path that matches your records and verify the price at application.
Does the TestCertify kit pay for the official exam?
The optional $49 USD kit is a separate study resource. Pay the credential application and any retake charges through ICF’s official process.
