RNCP & ICF Certifications
Dual Official Certification
The surest path to becoming a recognized, certified, and employable professional coach.
Choosing a coaching training program is not a decision to be taken lightly. You’re investing time, energy, a career plan, and often a personal transition. Credibility is therefore essential.
That’s why our program has been designed to meet the highest standards in coaching, combining ICF international accreditation and RNCP Level 6 state certification.
The result: you receive a certified, recognized, and credible coaching program that opens real doors to the coaching market.
Legitimacy & Reassurance: A Recognized, Certification-Based Training Program
By training at the International Coaching Institute (ICI), you’ll benefit from two major accreditations:
1. ICF Accreditation
ICF (International Coaching Federation) is the global standard for professional coaching. With a presence in over 150 countries and more than 140 international chapters, ICF ensures global recognition, facilitating your practice both in France and abroad.
Our MasterCoach program is accredited by ICF, ensuring compliance with the highest ethical, relational, and methodological standards.
- A guarantee of international quality
- A passport to practice in France and internationally
- Prepares you for ICF personal certifications (ACC → PCC → MCC)
- Recognition by companies, HR firms, and organizations
The ACC, PCC, and MCC levels correspond to the three ICF professional certifications, each accessible based on your coaching experience:
- ACC (Associate Certified Coach): entry-level certification, available after a minimum of 100 hours of coaching.
- PCC (Professional Certified Coach): advanced-level certification, requiring a minimum of 500 hours of coaching.
- MCC (Master Certified Coach): the highest level of excellence, available after a minimum of 2,500 hours of coaching, demonstrating expert-level mastery.
These progressive certifications officially validate the development of your skills and your practical experience, and strengthen your credibility with clients and companies.
2. State Certification – RNCP Level 6
Our program is registered with the National Directory of Professional Certifications (RNCP – Level 6), issued by France Compétences.
This means it is recognized by the French government, at the same level as a Bac+3 / Bac+4 — a decisive factor in securing your professional future.
- Official institutional recognition
- Added value in the job market
- Administrative legitimacy to practice legally
- Major asset for career transitions, companies, firms, and freelancing
Understanding the RNCP Level 6 (Bac+3/4)
Many aspiring coaches are looking for a rigorous training program, sometimes comparable to a college degree or a master’s degree in coaching.
Our RNCP Level 6 certification meets this need exactly.
| RNCP Level | Academic Equivalency |
| Level 6 | Bachelor’s Degree / Bac+3/4 |
| Level 7 | Master’s / Bac+5 |
Your RNCP Professional Coach certification is therefore academically recognized, and valued by companies, public institutions, and professional organizations.
Why choose a training program that is recognized by both the RNCP and the ICF?
Because it allows you to combine the best of both worlds:
- RNCP (French government): ICF (Internationally recognized in 150 countries)
- Official recognition in France: Global credibility
- Employability in the workplace: Professional ethics & ethical standards
- Secure career transition: Access to ACC, PCC, and MCC designations
- Institutional recognition: Recognized professional methodology
An RNCP-certified coaching program alone = legitimate but not widely recognized outside France
An ICF-certified program alone = recognized but not accredited by the French government
With the RNCP and ICF MasterCoach program from the Institut de Coaching International, you get both.
Funding & CPF Accessibility
We are committed to making this training accessible to as many people as possible.
Thanks to its RNCP Level 6 accreditation, the RNCP and ICF MasterCoach training program is eligible for CPF (Personal Training Account) funding—a real asset for supporting your career goals while minimizing your out-of-pocket expenses.
- CPF funding available thanks to RNCP status
- 100% or partial funding depending on your eligibility
- Payment plans (installment-based and flexible)
- Possibility of coverage through other programs depending on your profile
- Administrative support at every step
You can therefore make your plans a reality without being held back by budget constraints, while securing your investment with training recognized by the French government and globally accredited by the ICF.
Your future as a certified professional coach has never been more financially accessible.
