ICF coaching log: track your coaching hours for credentials
If you are working toward or renewing an ICF or EMCC credential, you have to prove your coaching hours, and the usual way is a spreadsheet you dread updating. Exantur includes a coaching hours log built into the same place you already run your practice, so the record grows as you coach instead of being reconstructed from memory the week before a submission. It is a coaching hours tracker for professional coaches who need a defensible, exportable log rather than a best guess.
It is part of Exantur, coaching practice management software built for the practice of professional coaching, not adapted from a generic project management tool.

Log hours where the coaching already happens
The reason hour logs go stale is friction: a separate spreadsheet is one more thing to remember. Because Exantur is where your sessions, clients and notes already live, logging hours is part of the flow rather than a separate chore. Each entry ties to a client and a date, so your coaching hours log reflects what actually happened rather than a rushed reconstruction before a credential deadline.
Per-client hours, pro bono, development and supervision
Credential bodies do not just want a single total. Exantur lets you record coaching hours per client, flag pro bono work separately, and log your own coach development and supervision hours alongside your paid client hours. That mirrors the categories ICF and EMCC actually ask about, so when it is time to submit you are reading off a structured record rather than trying to remember which hours were pro bono and which count toward your own development.
Export a clean PDF or CSV when you need it
A log is only useful if you can hand it over. Exantur exports your coaching hours as a PDF for a tidy, presentable record, or a CSV if you want to sort, filter or drop the numbers into another system. When a renewal or an application asks for evidence of your hours, the export is a couple of clicks, not an evening of copy-paste.
Built for certified coaches, not bolted on
A coaching hours tracker that sits apart from your practice is one more login and one more thing to keep in sync. Because this log lives inside coaching practice management software, the same tool that holds your clients, sessions, notes and invoicing also holds your ICF and EMCC hours. Credential tracking stops being a parallel admin task and becomes a by-product of running your practice well.
Frequently asked questions
- Does Exantur track coaching hours for ICF and EMCC?
- Yes. Exantur includes a coaching hours log where you record hours per client, flag pro bono work, and log your own coach development and supervision hours, mirroring the categories ICF and EMCC ask about. You can export the log as a PDF or CSV when you submit for a credential or renewal.
- Can I separate paid, pro bono and development hours?
- Yes. Each entry can be flagged, so pro bono hours are recorded distinctly from paid client hours, and your own development and supervision hours are logged separately again. That keeps your coaching hours log aligned with how credential bodies categorize hours.
- Can I export my coaching hours log?
- Yes. You can export your hours as a PDF for a clean, presentable record or as a CSV to sort, filter or move into another system. The export is designed for submitting evidence of hours when applying for or renewing a credential.
- Do I need a separate spreadsheet to track hours?
- No, that is the point. Because the coaching hours log lives inside the same software where your sessions and clients already are, you log hours as you coach instead of maintaining a separate spreadsheet you update in a panic before a deadline.
- Is the coaching log part of the wider platform?
- Yes. The hours log is one feature of Exantur, which also handles clients, scheduling, structured session notes, invoicing and more, so credential tracking sits alongside the rest of your practice rather than in a separate tool.
