Mentor Coaching

Mentor coaching is an important part of your educational journey to becoming a professional coach. Ten hours of mentor coaching is also a requirement for those pursuing or renewing an ICF credential. Our Mentor Coaching course is designed to provide you with the mentoring you are looking for at a reasonable price.

In compliance with the ICF’s definition of mentor coaching, this course will focus on mentoring students on their coaching skills only and will not focus on practice building, life satisfaction or other topics unrelated to the development of your coaching skills, especially as they relate to the ICF’s core competencies.

The Mentor Coaching course will consist of 3 - 1 ½ hour group sessions focusing on the Core Competencies, and 1 hour of individual mentor coaching. These sessions will be held every other week. During the weeks in between the group sessions, students will meet in peer groups to practice coaching and offer feedback to each other.

Students must attend all sessions in order to receive the full mentor coaching credit. Credits earned will be adjusted based on attendance.

For those who need additional hours of individual mentor coaching to meet the ICF minimum requirements of 7 hours of group coaching and 3 hours of individual coaching, you will have the option to sign up for additional mentor hours.

Frequency: This course is offered three or four times a year. Class size is limited and priority is given to students who have completed their training through ILCT.

Course Prerequisites

  • 60 hours of coach training required

Testimonials

Pat was very engaging and offered valuable experience, guidance, and insight. He was exceptional in offering suggestions for those areas we indicated we would like to see improvement in our own coaching. I found my one-on-one mentor session(s) exceptionally valuable.

In Mentor Coaching, it didn’t feel like there was a power inbalance and Edie made me comfortable developing my own style within the ICF required markers. It was in the final week that Edie helped me connect the dots from my very first day of foundations through all of the 60+ hours. It just “clicked”.
