Why Mentoring

A mentor coach plays a pivotal role in shaping a coach’s expertise, fostering professional growth, and maintaining the highest standards of coaching excellence. Mentor coaches nurture both the expertise and the professional evolution of coaches.

Mentor Coaching serves as an ongoing learning platform for coaches, supporting their development, exam preparation, and pursuit of ICF credentials. This extended, three-month minimum engagement involves active feedback from the Mentor Coach, fostering competency at desired credential levels.

Getting Credentialed

Partner with a mentor FAQ’s

Getting credentialed as a coach through the International Coach Federation (ICF) signifies that a coach has met the rigorous professional and educational standards set by the ICF, which is one of the most recognized and respected organizations in the coaching industry. To be credentialed through the ICF means:

- Meeting Training Requirements: The coach has completed a specific number of training hours from an ICF-accredited coach training program, ensuring they've been educated on core competencies and ethical guidelines.

- Demonstrating Coaching Experience: The coach has accumulated a required number of coaching hours with clients, illustrating their hands-on experience in the field.

- Passing a Knowledge Assessment: Coaches must successfully pass a comprehensive examination that assesses their understanding of the ICF Core Competencies, Code of Ethics, and other coaching knowledge.

- Commitment to Continuous Development: ICF credentialing also requires coaches to engage in Continuing Coach Education (CCE) to ensure they are updated with the latest in coaching practice and research.

- Adherence to Ethical Standards: Being credentialed by the ICF is a commitment to upholding the ICF Code of Ethics, ensuring clients are served with integrity, professionalism, and confidentiality.

In essence, achieving an ICF credential is both a testament to a coach's professional excellence and a commitment to maintaining high standards of practice, education, and ethics in their coaching career.

In order to get credentialed it requires you to meet certain standards.
To see the different credential paths through the ICF you can find out more here:
