Mentor Coaching Essentials is a 10-hour asynchronous (self-paced) continuing coach education program that prepares experienced coaches for the professional role of mentor coach. The program covers the professional framework of mentor coaching: the ICF Code of Ethics as applied to mentoring; the key ICF documents a mentor coach relies on (Core Competencies, Competency Glossary, PCC Markers, ACC/PCC Minimum Skills Requirements); the six ICF Mentor Coaching Competencies; the distinctions between mentor coaching, supervision, assessment, therapy, and consulting; mentoring agreements and process management; formative assessment and developmental feedback; the difference in mentoring focus for coaches pursuing ACC versus PCC credentials; and group mentor coaching. Learning is delivered through structured text lessons, recorded video lessons, and applied case studies with methodological solutions. Learning is verified through self-check assignments, case analysis, and a final 20-question test required for the certificate of completion.
