How do the ICF ACC vocabulary games work?
There are 4 games built on 18 ICF ACC terms. In Guess the Term, a clue describes one term and you have six tries to spell it, with green, yellow and gray letters showing how close you are. In Term Match, six terms appear as colored tiles; swap neighbors to line up three or more of the same term, and each match shows what the term means. In Term Pairs, twelve face-down cards hide six pairs of terms; flip two at a time to find each pair, and every pair you find shows what the term means. In Term Search, five terms hide in a grid of letters, reading across, down or diagonally; drag across a term to circle it, and each term you find shows what it means.
Where do the ICF ACC terms come from?
OpenExamPrep researched each term from the International Coaching Federation (ICF) via Pearson VUE content outline and primary sources, listed under Sources on this page. The game is independent study material, not an official exam resource.
What is the ICF ACC Exam?
It is a 60-question, 90-minute multiple-choice exam with four options and one correct answer per item, delivered in two sections of 30 with an optional 10-minute break. It tests applied knowledge of the eight ICF Core Competencies and the ICF Code of Ethics and is the testable MCQ component of the ACC credential. It launched in November 2024 as a separate exam from the situational-judgment PCC/MCC Credentialing Exam.
What are the other ACC requirements besides the exam?
ACC also requires 60+ hours of coach-specific education (ICF-accredited or non-accredited), 100+ hours of coaching experience with at least 8 clients (75+ paid), and 10+ hours of mentor coaching, plus a performance evaluation (recording + transcript) and adherence to the ICF Code of Ethics. Mentor coaching completed on or after January 1, 2027 must be with a Specialized Mentor Coach, and from April 1, 2027 updated mentor coaching replaces the performance evaluation.
