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.

Precision in distinguishing ACC, PCC, and MCC levels

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

identify competencies accurately
provide structured, competency-based feedback
reflect on and track their own development over time
Your assessment will also include:
