ICF Requirements for Mentor Coaching
Note: The verbiage below is taken directly from the International Coach Federation Website.
Mentor Coaching for an ICF Credential consists of coaching and feedback in a collaborative, appreciative and dialogued process based on an observed or recorded coaching session to increase the coach’s capability in coaching, in alignment with the ICF Core Competencies.
Purpose:
Mentoring provides professional assistance in achieving and demonstrating the levels of coaching competency and capability demanded by the desired credential level.
Mentor Coaching should take place over an extended time (three-month minimum) in a cycle that allows for listening and feedback from the Mentor Coach while also allowing reflection and practice on the part of the individual being mentored.
Initial Credentialing
Credentialing candidates on the following paths are required to participate in Mentor Coaching prior to submitting their application:
-
ACC ACSTH, ACC Portfolio, PCC Level 1 / ACSTH, PCC Portfolio, MCC Portfolio

Coaches applying to renew their ACC Credential are required to complete an additional 10 hours of Mentor Coaching above those hours required for their initial credential.
