ICF 对 PCC 标识的定义
ICF PCC 评估标准页写明：“Assessment markers are key behaviors that assessors listen for in recorded coaching conversations”。
本站译文：评估标识是评估员在录音教练对话中听取的关键行为。
PCC 考生手册（2026 年 9 月修订）称 PCC 标识是“a set of behavioral indicators that are used in the assessment of PCC credential candidates”，评估员以其为工具，听取并判断对话中体现了哪些 ICF 核心能力。
2021 年版 PCC 标识文件说明，这些标识是在 PCC 级别的教练对话中体现核心能力的行为，用于支持“fair, consistent, valid, reliable, repeatable and defensible”的录音评估过程。

现行文件：PCC 最低技能要求
ICF 现以《PCC Minimum Skills Requirements》（PCC 最低技能要求）发布 PCC 级别的评估标准，PDF 封面标注 rev. 1.26.2026。
ICF 2025 年 10 月 9 日公告写明：“the PCC requirements have not changed, but the format has been updated”，格式改为与 ACC、MCC 的要求一致。
新格式下，每项能力分为 Key Skills（关键技能）、Behaviors Consistent With ICF Coaching Standards（符合 ICF 教练标准的行为）、Behaviors Inconsistent With ICF Coaching Standards（不符合 ICF 教练标准的行为）几部分。
《ICF Mentor Coach Handbook》说明，“符合 ICF 教练标准的行为”一节“also known as the behavioral statements/markers”，即 PCC 标识所在的部分。
PCC 最低技能要求 PDF 中的条目不编号；2021 年版 PCC 标识文件按“能力序号.条目序号”编号（如 3.1）。两份文件在第 3 至第 8 项能力下的条数相同。
ICF 未说明 2021 年版文件是否已停用。截至核对日，ICF 资源页仍提供 2021 年版文件下载，PCC 评估标准页链接的是 PCC 最低技能要求 PDF。

与核心能力版本的关系
ICF 2025 年 9 月 8 日介绍核心能力更新的文章写明：“While revising the Core Competencies, we also refined the Minimum Skills Requirements to enhance clarity and consistency”（本站译文：在修订核心能力的同时，我们也修订了最低技能要求，以提高清晰度和一致性），并称“these updates do not represent substantive changes to expectations”（本站译文：这些更新并不代表期望的实质性变化）。
PCC 最低技能要求 PDF 本身只写“The document follows the ICF Core Competencies”，未注明版本。
2021 年版 PCC 标识文件标注“Revised November 2020”，未写明对应哪一版核心能力；ICF 也未说明该文件是否会依 2025 版核心能力更新。

谁使用，用在哪里
PCC 评估标准页写明，评估员使用 PCC 最低技能要求衡量 PCC 级别所要求的具体技能。
该页列出的适用人群：
- 准备 PCC 的教练：用于准备录音评估（Performance Evaluation）；
- 希望提升技能、专业成长的教练；
- 导师教练和教练督导：帮助他人找出成长和技能发展的方向；
- 教练培训机构：支持学员的学习和技能发展。
该页还建议对照 ICF 核心能力阅读 PCC 最低技能要求。
录音评估
PCC 考生手册写明，评估员以 PCC 标识为评估标准（“using the PCC Markers as their assessment criteria”），收集申请人运用核心能力的证据。
导师教练
《ICF Mentor Coach Handbook》说明，导师可用最低技能要求及相关资源指南评估被带教教练的对话（“Use these tools to evaluate MC clients' coaching sessions”）。
手册同时写明，核心能力应是导师教练过程中最重要的发展工具和框架，反馈应在核心能力层面给出。
申请 MCS-PCC 的导师，培训须包含 PCC 标识培训，详见《ICF 导师教练与 MCS 导师教练专项认证》。
2027 年 4 月 1 日之后
PCC 考生手册写明，2027 年 4 月 1 日起，ACC、PCC 的 Portfolio 申请只接受导师填写的能力评审表（Competency Review Form），取代录音与逐字稿；Level 2 申请流程不变。具体要求见《ICF 认证 2026—2027 年规则变化》。
《ICF Mentor Coach Handbook》写明，每次被观察对话的对话观察表（Session Observation Form）包括“written feedback in alignment with the ICF Core Coaching Competencies and minimum skills requirements”（本站译文：与 ICF 核心能力和最低技能要求相一致的书面反馈）。
ICF 关于这项变化的公告未提到 PCC 标识；考生手册只在录音评估一节提到 PCC 标识，介绍 2027 年新要求的部分未提到。能力评审表是否逐条对照 PCC 标识，ICF 未说明。

ICF 关于不当用法的说明
PCC 评估标准页：“these minimum skills aren't meant to be a simple checklist”，也不是通过评估的公式（“not a formula for passing the evaluation”）。
录音评估页：评估标准“not intended as a rigid checklist”。
PCC 考生手册：PCC 标识不是教练工具（“not a tool for coaching”），“should not be used as a checklist or formula for passing”。
2021 年版 PCC 标识文件：标识应始终放在核心能力发展的背景下使用，不应以公式化的方式当作通过录音评估的清单。
《ICF Mentor Coach Handbook》列出最低技能要求等资源不应用于的两种用途：“As coaching competencies.”（当作教练能力本身）和“As a checklist or formula for coaching.”（当作教练的清单或公式）。

What the PCC Markers Are and How ICF Says to Use Them
PCC 标识是什么、怎样使用：ICF 的官方说明与文件
Who this is for: coaches preparing for the PCC who want to understand what the PCC Markers are and where they are used.
What it covers: ICF's definition and stated uses of the PCC Markers, their role in performance evaluations and mentor coaching, what ICF says about the period after 1 April 2027, how the markers are organised by competency, their relation to the Core Competencies editions, ICF's guidance on misuse, and where to download the official PDFs. For the Core Competencies, exam preparation, the 2026–2027 changes and mentor coaching, see our articles 05, 18, 01 and 09.
Definition
ICF's PCC criteria page: "Assessment markers are key behaviors that assessors listen for in recorded coaching conversations." The PCC Candidate Guide calls them "a set of behavioral indicators that are used in the assessment of PCC credential candidates". The 2021 markers document says they support a performance evaluation process that is "fair, consistent, valid, reliable, repeatable and defensible."
The current document
ICF now publishes the PCC criteria as the PCC Minimum Skills Requirements (rev. 1.26.2026). ICF's announcement of 9 October 2025 states that "the PCC requirements have not changed, but the format has been updated" to match ACC and MCC. Each competency has Key Skills, Behaviors Consistent With ICF Coaching Standards and Behaviors Inconsistent With ICF Coaching Standards; the Mentor Coach Handbook says the "consistent" section is "also known as the behavioral statements/markers." The new PDF does not number the statements; the 2021 document numbers them (e.g. 3.1). Counts for Competencies 3–8 are the same in both. ICF does not say whether the 2021 document is withdrawn; it is still offered on ICF's resource page, while the PCC criteria page links the Minimum Skills Requirements.
Organisation by competency
| Competency | Markers |
|---|---|
| 1 Demonstrates Ethical Practice | No numbered markers |
| 2 Embodies a Coaching Mindset | None of its own; 11 referenced from other competencies |
| 3 Establishes and Maintains Agreements | 4 |
| 4 Cultivates Trust and Safety | 4 |
| 5 Maintains Presence | 5 |
| 6 Listens Actively | 7 |
| 7 Evokes Awareness | 8 |
| 8 Facilitates Client Growth | 9 |
Competencies 3–8 total 37. For Competency 1, both documents state that familiarity with the Code of Ethics is "required for all levels of coaching." For Competency 2, the 2021 document lists 4.1, 4.3, 4.4, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 6.1, 6.5, 7.1 and 7.5; the criteria page says understanding of this competency is "primarily evaluated in the ICF Credentialing Exam."
Core Competencies edition
ICF's 8 September 2025 post on the Core Competencies update says: "While revising the Core Competencies, we also refined the Minimum Skills Requirements to enhance clarity and consistency," adding that "these updates do not represent substantive changes to expectations." The PCC Minimum Skills Requirements PDF itself says only "The document follows the ICF Core Competencies," without naming an edition. The 2021 markers document (revised November 2020) does not name an edition, and ICF has not said whether it will be updated for the 2025 Core Competencies.
Who uses them
The PCC criteria page says assessors use the PCC Minimum Skills Requirements to measure the skills expected at PCC level. It lists as audiences coaches preparing for the PCC Performance Evaluation, coaches aiming to advance their skills, mentor coaches and supervisors, and coaching education providers, and suggests comparing the requirements with the Core Competencies.
- Performance evaluation: assessors use "the PCC Markers as their assessment criteria" (PCC Candidate Guide).
- Mentor coaching: the Mentor Coach Handbook says to "Use these tools to evaluate MC clients' coaching sessions," while the Core Competencies remain the most important developmental framework and feedback is given at the Core Competency level. MCS-PCC training must include PCC Markers training.
- From 1 April 2027: the PCC Candidate Guide says that for ACC and PCC Portfolio applications only the Competency Review Form will be accepted, replacing recordings and transcripts; the Level 2 application process is unchanged. The Handbook says each Session Observation Form includes "written feedback in alignment with the ICF Core Coaching Competencies and minimum skills requirements." ICF's announcement does not mention the PCC Markers, and the Candidate Guide mentions them only in its Performance Evaluation section, not in the 2027 changes; whether the Competency Review Form is checked marker by marker is not stated by ICF.
How not to use them
- PCC criteria page: "these minimum skills aren't meant to be a simple checklist" and "not a formula for passing the evaluation."
- Performance Evaluations page: "not intended as a rigid checklist."
- PCC Candidate Guide: "not a tool for coaching" and "should not be used as a checklist or formula for passing."
- 2021 markers document: use them in the context of Core Competency development, not as a checklist in a formulaic manner.
- Mentor Coach Handbook: not "As coaching competencies." and not "As a checklist or formula for coaching."
Official PDFs
- PCC Minimum Skills Requirements (rev. 1.26.2026, English): from the PCC criteria page or ICF's resource page.
- ICF PCC Markers (2021): ICF's resource page lists Arabic, Danish, Dutch, English, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Latvian, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish. No Chinese version is listed, and ICF has not said whether one is planned.
Not stated by ICF
- Which Core Competencies edition the 2021 PCC Markers document follows, and whether it will be updated for the 2025 edition.
- Whether the 2021 markers document is withdrawn.
- Whether the Competency Review Form is checked against the PCC Markers item by item after 1 April 2027.
- Whether a Chinese version will be published.
