Our starter kits are Structured learning toolkits designed to help coaches navigate the ICF credentialing journey with clarity, confidence, and direction.
Whether you are starting your ACC path, working toward your PCC, or preparing for MCC, the ICF process can often feel fragmented, unclear, and overwhelming.
Each free Starter Kit brings together essential ICF resources, practical tools and clear guidance in one place, so you always know what to focus on, when to focus on it, and why.
Pursuing an ICF credential (ACC, PCC or MCC) is a meaningful step in your development as a coach, and also one that can feel confusing and overwhelming, especially when information is spread across guidelines, documents, recordings and platforms.
Many coaches ask themselves:
Where do I start? What really matters at my level? What are assessors actually looking for?
The free Starter Kits by Coaching Outside The Box were created to remove that uncertainty. Their purpose is simple: to guide and support you throughout your ICF journey, giving you clarity, structure and confidence: all in one place.
If these free resources are already supporting your growth, imagine what a complete ICF-accredited training can offer.
