The International Coaching Federation made a welcome announcement to transcript changes, effective July 1, 2020.
As an ICF Trained MCC, PCC and ACC Assessor, this will make our jobs easier, and have the potential to improve quality of feedback received by an Applicant. The quality of the transcript impacts the quality of feedback that can be given.
Here’s the official announcement from February 25, 2020:
ICF is committed to ensuring fairness and integrity in our review process for credentialing performance evaluations. To this end, we areĀ refining our existing transcript format requirementsĀ for credentialing candidates on the following pathways:

- A reader of the transcript should be able to see who was speaking (the coach or the client) at any given time in the conversation.
