Coach Mentoring & Development

Helping you develop your existing coaching skills to achieve full ICF accreditation with group and individual coach mentoring

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

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?
Group coach mentoring costs $200 +GST per hour for the 7 hours if taken individually.

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.

Payment will be made in full before the first class and we run these groups twice each year. Please contact us via the form or links below to confirm next dates and to book.

(If you need to miss a teleconference class please contact us immediately to make arrangements for a one to one catch up call. An additional fee will be incurred.)

Please Note: The ICF allows a maximum of 7 group mentoring hours to count towards the total of 10 mentoring hours required. We have individual mentor coaches available for the remaining three hours 1:1 – please contact us directly to access this service with “1:1 mentoring hours” in the subject line.
