Mentor Coach Program Overview

Mentor Coaching for earning the ACC, PCC, or MCC credential with ICF

Become a coach: earning an ACC, PCC, or MCC credential with the International Coaching Federation, ICF, requires coach training that covers the core competencies of a coach, teaches the Code of Ethics, and includes a coaching practicum.  Additionally, Mentor Coaching is required.  At the Center for Coaching Certification, the mentor coaching includes ICF's required assessing of your coaching based on the PCC markers, exam preparation, and a 360 of your coaching competencies.

Mentor Coaching Groups include five group sessions totaling 7.5 hours plus three individual sessions totaling 3 hours more than meeting the required 10 hours of mentor coaching for ICF's ACC, PCC, or MCC credential.

  • Strengthen your application of ICF's Core Competencies as demonstrated viv-a-vis the PCC Markers
  • Build your confidence as a coach
  • Deepen your active listening, rephrasing, and reflecting
  • Upgrade your clear, direct communication
  • Polish your powerful questioning
  • Prepare for your ICF credential application

Note: ICF requires that Mentor Coaching extends over / beyond three-months.

When you enroll, you will receive a proprietary 360 Assessment of your coaching competencies - a self-assessment plus you will ask 3 to 6 clients to complete the assessment and email directly to your Mentor Coach.

For the required assessing of you coaching, you may submit up to three recordings of you coaching a client for twenty to sixty minutes (additional recordings can be reviewed for $200 each).

The Mentor Coaching will fulfill International Coaching Federation requirements for mentor coaching to renew your ACC or to earn an ACC, PCC, or MCC credential!
