Coach Mentoring

If you are applying for an ACC ICF credential or renewal, you are required to work with a mentor for 10 hours prior to your application. The mentoring should take place over a minimum 3-month period and be completed before submitting your credential application.

Your mentor will work with you to provide professional guidance that will allow you to demonstrate the competency and capability required to achieve your credential level. The sessions focus on core competency development to prepare you for the Coach Knowledge Assessment and help you develop as a Coach.
