The program is built on practical webinars and corresponds to the six ICF competencies in mentoring coaching, the ICF core coaching competencies, the ICF Code of Ethics, as well as the ACC, PCC and MCC certification level assessment guidelines

Upon the completion of the course, participants will be able to:
Model and promote ethical practices in the mentor coach role, including role differentiation, data security and referral exercise when necessary
Successful completion of the program demonstrates the participant's willingness to provide structured, ethical and competency-based mentoring coaching, as well as to continue to develop through reflective practice. The program requires proven completion of training according to the current standards of ACC BARS, PCC Markers and MCC BARS as part of an authorized training program.
***It is possible to take the first 6 classes (synchronously or independently) to receive 10 hours of ICF Continuing Coach Education CEE, which is mandatory when applying for the Credit for Prior Learning pathway (experienced mentors) and when renewing your MCS mentor certification
