Coach Mentoring & Development
What is Coach Mentoring?
The International Coach Federation (ICF) exists to advance the coaching profession by setting high ethical standards, providing independent certification, and building a worldwide network of credentialed coaches. To maintain these high standards they require all their coaches to receive 10 hours (7 group and 3 individual) of mentoring on their coaching skills, which this course delivers against.
Who is it for?
This programme is especially for coaches who have documented coaching experience, graduates of our Coach Training programme (who have already met the 60 hours of coach specific training requirement for ACC accreditation) and others with the appropriate training. This coach mentoring programme counts towards your 10 hours of ICF credential mentoring requirement.
What will you gain from Coach Mentoring?
By the end of this Coach Mentoring programme you will gain:
- Competence in working with, and an improved ability to demonstrate the 8 ICF Core Competencies in your coaching practice
- Advanced coaching skills – listening to others coach, practicing an aspect of coaching at each session and receiving robust and effective feedback
- Confidence that you are ready to finalise your ICF assessment process
- Enjoyment and learning from other coaches’ styles within the group
What are the key benefits?
This programme builds robust coaching and leadership skills to a level
which can achieve a globally recognised ICF credential.
The programme delivers 67.5 hours of International Coach Federation Approved Coach Specific Training Hours (LEVEL 1).
It develops the participant’s self-awareness and general leadership skill set. These are transferrable skills. Participants will gain knowledge, skills and confidence in building teams who think independently and creatively; teams who will embrace the habits and principles of coaching from experiencing coaching.
Programme Content
What does this Group Coach Mentoring course entail?
The group coach mentoring programme is delivered via fortnightly teleconference or webinar sessions. The group will comprise a maximum of 6 people and the program will consist of 1 x 1 hour session and 4 x 1.5 hour sessions over 5 sessions that are all mandatory.
What is Group Mentoring like?
In the group mentoring sessions you will focus on understanding and demonstrating the 8 ICF Core competencies at a level you may not have focused on previously in your training. Each session includes discussion on the chosen competencies, followed by coaching practice, with feedback from your mentor/trainer. There’s time at the end of each session for general coaching questions.
At the end of this programme you will be confident in applying for your credential, and feel ready to complete your Coach Knowledge Exam with ease.
For coaches applying for PCC or MCC you will feel confident in making and choosing appropriate recordings.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
If you buy the full 7 hours as a package with the commitment to complete them within three months, it costs $1190 +GST, giving you a saving of $210.
There will be a maximum of 6 participants in the group mentoring cohort. Full attendance at specified class times each session is required.
