Section 1 - Program Positioning

This 10-hour training is designed as continuing education aligned with the International Coaching Federation Mentor Coaching Competencies, and the evolving expectations for Mentor Coach Qualification (MCQ) renewal.

The program strengthens the mentor coach’s ability to work with increasing precision, consistency, and discernment, supporting the development of coaching capability across all credentialing levels

It explicitly integrates the latest ICF emphasis on developmental partnership, reflective practice, and competency integration over time — not only performance evaluation.

Section 2 - Program Description

Mentor coaching is a structured, developmental process focused on how coaching competencies are demonstrated in practice.

This program trains participants in what a mentor coach must actually do:

  • observe coaching sessions (live or recorded) using competency-based listening

  • identify competencies in action and evaluate alignment with ACC, PCC, and MCC levels

  • provide clear, evidence-based, non-judgmental feedback

  • identify strengths, development areas, and patterns across sessions

  • support the integration of learning over time

  • manage mentor coaching agreements and developmental processes

  • facilitate both individual and group mentor coaching

In addition, the program develops the mentor coach’s ability to:

  • differentiate between observation, evaluation, and developmental dialogue

  • support reflective learning rather than corrective feedback only

  • recognise systemic patterns in the coach’s presence, choices, and impact

  • partner with the coach in a co-created developmental process aligned with ICF standards

The training emphasizes that mentor coaching focuses on the coach’s demonstration of competencies within the coaching process, as they work with the client’s topic.

Section 3 - Learning Approach

The program is delivered in a live, synchronous small-group format and is grounded in an experiential methodology.

Participants work with:

  • real coaching recordings

  • competency-based observation

  • structured feedback practice

  • guided reflection

Learning follows a continuous cycle:

Observation → Evidence → Appraisal → Development → Integration

Particular emphasis is placed on reflective pauses, meta-observation, and the mentor coach’s presence as a developmental instrument.

Section 4 - What You Will Develop

  • Ability to identify coaching competencies in real sessions

  • Precision in distinguishing ACC, PCC, and MCC levels

  • Skill in delivering structured, non-judgmental feedback

  • Capacity to support coaching skill integration over time

  • Confidence in managing both individual and group mentor coaching processes

In addition, you will also develop-

  • ability to engage in developmental dialogue (not only feedback delivery)

  • increased discernment in recognising subtle MCC-level markers

  • capacity to support transformation in the coach, not only performance improvement

  • alignment with current and emerging ICF expectations for mentor coaches

Section 5 - Program Structure

Session 1 – Role, ethics, and foundations of mentor coaching

Session 2 – Agreements, process, and credential-level orientation (ACC–PCC–MCC)

Session 3 – Formative appraisal (competency-based evaluation)

Session 4 – Feedback and skill development

Session 5 – Group mentor coaching and learning dynamics

Across all sessions:

  • integration of reflective practice

  • development of mentor coach presence

  • application of real-case analysis with increasing complexity

Section 6 - MCQ Renewal Alignment

This training fulfils the 10-hour continuing education requirement aligned with the ICF Mentor Coaching Competencies for renewal of the Mentor Coach Qualification (MCQ).

It supports:

  • ongoing alignment with mentor coaching standards

  • development of consistent, competency-based practice

  • renewal across ACC, PCC, and MCC levels

It also responds to the increasing ICF expectation that mentor coaches demonstrate:

  • consistency of practice

  • depth of developmental partnership

  • ability to support long-term competency integration

Completion contributes to maintaining active status within the ICF Mentor Coach Registry and recognition through the ICF digital credential.

Section 7 - Assessment Approach

Assessment is formative and practice-based, aligned with ICF standards.

Participants are evaluated through their ability to:

  • observe coaching sessions using evidence (timestamps, client language, behavior)

  • identify competencies accurately

  • provide structured, competency-based feedback

  • reflect on and track their own development over time

Your assessment will also include:

  • quality of developmental dialogue

  • ability to balance challenge and support

  • depth of reflective capacity as a mentor coach

Section 8 - Learning Outcomes

By the end of the program, participants will be able to:

  • apply the ICF Mentor Coaching Competencies in practice

  • differentiate mentor coaching from coaching, supervision, and evaluation

  • establish clear agreements and manage a developmental process

  • assess coaching sessions using observable evidence

  • provide feedback that supports real skill development

  • identify patterns and support long-term integration

  • facilitate group mentor coaching effectively

In addition, participants will possess the skills to:

  • demonstrate a developmental partnership approach aligned with current ICF expectations

  • use reflective practice as a core mentoring tool

  • support coaches in moving toward mastery (not only credential readiness)
