“Boris’s simulator helped me pinpoint my weaker competencies and focus the two days of studying I had left. I passed the ICF Credentialing Exam first time.”
Brenda Ammon, MCC
“This is a solid preparation tool. It gets you thinking in the right way for the ICF credentialing exam and the explanations afterwards turn practice into real learning.”
Cristina Dragomir, MCC
“I’d definitely recommend it. The questions are rich; they bring perspectives you don’t find elsewhere.”

The full PCC/MCC credentialing journey runs €2,000+ (assessment fees, mentor coaching hours, application). €149 for this simulator is under 8%, and it’s the part that decides whether you sit the exam once or three times.
Working with a mentor coach? If they've signed up as a mentor, their code takes 20% off, ask them for it. Or look for the founding price above: a better deal while it lasts.
Where this fits in your prep
ICF's official Study System teaches the framework: €685 (ICF member) or €915 (non-member) for 12 months of reading materials, module quizzes, flashcards, and one practice exam. Useful groundwork.
This is €149 for 90 days. 680 scenarios. Roughly 22 cents per scenario, with master-coach reasoning on each.
This is the practice that goes alongside it. 680 items in the real best-and-worst exam format. Most candidates who pass first time use both: the official system for the theory, this for the volume.

Who this is for
You're sitting the exam in the next 1–10 weeks
You've finished (or are close to finishing) your ICF-approved training. You need pattern recognition under timed pressure, not flashcards.
You've read the 8 sample items ICF publishes
And then you ran out of practice material. There is no other openly-available, rationale-rich corpus large enough to take you from "I know the framework" to "I score 75%+ under timed conditions."
You want ACC, PCC, or MCC
Two banks, one product. The ACC bank (180 single-best items across Ethics, Boundaries, and Core Competencies) and the PCC/MCC bank (500 best-and-worst items, weighted toward the calibration where two reasonable coaches might land differently). Pick your track at signup.
You're mentor-coaching a PCC/MCC candidate
Already-credentialed coaches use the bank with their mentees as a shared reference. Work an item together, compare best/worst calls, surface the calibration gap. Bring it to mentor sessions.
What's in the bank
- 680 original situational-judgment scenarios Three to five sentence coaching scenarios with four options each, best/worst format for PCC/MCC, single-best for ACC, exactly the shape of the real ICF Credentialing Exam. Not one item reproduced from any ICF resource. Authored by an MCC and reviewed against a seven-test quality rubric.
- Master-coach rationale on every item Why the best answer is best (citing the specific ICF Competency behavioural marker), why the worst is worst (what it violates in the Code of Ethics or the Competency), and what makes the two middles tempting traps.
- Two banks: pick your track PCC/MCC bank: best/worst format, weighted toward the credential tiers where calibration is hardest. ACC bank: single-best format, split across Ethics, Boundaries of Coaching, and Core Competencies. Matches the ACC exam shape exactly.
- Real exam timing 78 items, two 81-minute sections, 10-minute break, same shape as the PCC/MCC sitting. Extended-time accommodation available.
- Drill, custom, and study modes Drill a single competency. Build a custom 30-item run. Walk the corpus item-by-item in study mode with rationale visible after each answer.
- Original work, copyright-protected Every item is original to Boris Prigmore. Watermarked per-user. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the International Coaching Federation.
Frequently asked
Is this affiliated with ICF?
No. The product is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or licensed by the International Coaching Federation. "ICF Credentialing Exam" is referenced descriptively only. Items are original work, not reproduced or derived from any ICF resource.
What does €149 buy me, exactly?
90 days of full access to the entire bank of 680 questions, all modes (full mock, quick mock, drill, custom, study), and master-coach rationale on every item. Buy now and start any time within 6 months; your 90 days begin the first time you open the simulator. After your 90 days you can renew or step away.
For context: an hour with a mentor coach typically costs €150–300. €149 buys you 90 days of unlimited practice against 680 items with master-coach rationale: the same money as one mentor hour, or three months of practice.
What's the "founding 50" thing?
The first 50 buyers get the product for €99 instead of €149, a launch promo. The counter above is live. Once 50 spots are gone, the price reverts to €149 (or €119 with a mentor-coach code).
I'm working with a mentor coach. Can I get a discount?
If your mentor coach has signed up as a referrer at our mentor page, ask them for their code; it takes 20% off (so €119 instead of €149). The founding-50 price is better if it's still available; the mentor discount kicks in once those are gone.
What's the refund policy?
7-day, no-questions-asked money-back guarantee from when you start (your activation), provided you've consumed less than 20% of the bank. And you can start any time within 6 months of buying. Email support@boristhecoach.com.
Does it work on my phone?
The simulator is designed for desktop or tablet. Drag-and-drop best/worst answers is the core interaction, which doesn't translate well to phone screens. The real exam is sat on a desktop too. If you've only got a phone, email us and we'll sort something out.
Will I pass after using this?
This product replicates the shape and difficulty of the exam and gives you 680 questions of rationale-rich practice. Coaches who walk in having scored well on the full mock typically walk out having passed. Brenda Ammon, MCC (quoted above) passed first time after using the simulator across her final two study days. No promise; passing is your work, but the practice is the most useful preparation you can do that isn't proctored.
What about CCEUs?
The product is not currently a CCEU-bearing resource. We may pursue CCEU accreditation through ICF post-launch; if it's granted, we'd notify existing customers and provide the certificate. No promises on timing or outcome.
Can I see a sample?
Yes, no card needed. Sign in with a magic-link email, pick your exam track (ACC or PCC/MCC), and you get 10 curated items spread across all 8 ICF Core Competencies (or 3 ACC domains) in study mode. Same items every time so you can come back and master them.
