The program is currently undergoing ICF Advanced Accreditation in Mentor Coaching (AAMC)
“We are witnessing the evolution of the international coaching market. And the practice of a certified coach can evolve along with the global market. Coaches have a rare opportunity to be among the first to become deep, humane, high-class mentors for coaches, earning the MCS (Mentor Coach Specialization) qualification, or to elevate their mentoring practice in accordance with the latest ICF requirements if you are already a practicing mentor. In our experience, this shift in regulations opens up tremendous opportunities.”

Our understanding of the market has enabled our team to create exactly this kind of program.
