Which component of the ICF framework provides measurable indicators of a coach's performance?

The PCC Markers are designed specifically to offer measurable indicators of a coach's performance within the International Coaching Federation framework. These markers serve as detailed criteria that outline what effective coaching looks like at the Professional Certified Coach (PCC) level. They provide specific and observable behaviors that demonstrate a coach's ability to implement the ICF's Core Competencies effectively.

By using the PCC Markers, evaluators can assess coaching sessions against a standardized measure, ensuring consistency and an understanding of what constitutes high-quality coaching. This makes the PCC Markers essential for both the assessment of coaching performance and the ongoing development of coaches who aspire to meet or exceed the PCC standards.

Other components, like Core Values and the Code of Ethics, are fundamental in establishing the principles and ethical guidelines that coaches are expected to uphold in their practice but do not provide direct, measurable criteria for performance. Core Competencies outline the skills and abilities that coaches should possess, but they do not offer the specific, measurable indicators that the PCC Markers do. Thus, the PCC Markers distinctly fulfill the need for tangible assessment criteria within the ICF framework.
