Spring Cohort : March 11 - May 6, 2027
Working toward your ICF ACC or PCC credential is an exciting milestone—but mentor coaching is about far more than completing a requirement.
It is an opportunity to step back, examine how you coach, receive meaningful feedback, and strengthen your understanding of the ICF Core Competencies through real coaching conversations.
In this small, supportive cohort, you will complete the full 10 hours of mentor coaching required by the ICF, including:
✔ 7.5 hours of group mentor coaching
✔ 3 hours of individual mentor coaching
✔ Feedback on recorded coaching sessions
✔ Practical guidance aligned with the ICF Core Competencies
Places are intentionally limited so that every coach receives personal attention, meaningful feedback and the opportunity to participate fully.
Small cohort. Personalised feedback. Stronger coaching.
