Mentoring
Program
Mentoring with me is designed to introduce
you to the career of coaching, and to help you set up the building blocks of your
coaching business.
This program is not designed to get you accredited
as a coach, nor to train you as a coach. For this you will required a coach training
school. SolutionBox™ recommends all coaches eventually seek accreditation
through the International
Coach Federation. The International Coach Academy is one school providing
training required by this accrediting body.
Should you at some
point choose to pursue accreditation with the International Coach Federation (see
below), one of the requirements for this accreditation is that you be mentored
by an ICF accredited coach. Your phone sessions with me will count towards this
requirement.
International
Coach Federation, Life Coaching Certification, Accreditation
The
International Coach Federation certification is expected to become the major recognized
qualification in the world. The requirements are stringent, and it is expected
few coaches will attain this in under two years.
Following
is a very brief summary of the major requirements for ICF certification, and involves
some interpretation. I recommend you visit the International
Coach Federation web site for the actual details and updates - please do not
rely solely on the information below.
1) 125 hours of coaching
training. (A minimum of 100 core hours must be in person or by phone).
2)
Coach clients for a minimum of 750 hours (90% paid).
3) Be mentored
by an ICF certified coach for a minimum of 10 hours spanning a minimum of 3 months.
(Note your phone sessions in the CoachStart Program will count towards this requirement).
4)
Pass an oral and written examination.
As mentioned above, training
via the International Coach Academy provides its own certification, plus a pathway
to ICF accreditation.
