EQA Foundation Certificate in Mentoring

Our EMCC EQA Foundation Certificate in Mentoring programme will support you to develop the knowledge, skills, behaviours and confidence in adopting a mentoring approach as part of your role.

Our programme is accredited by the European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC).  EMCC are a professional membership organisation which encourages excellence and progression for mentors, coaches and supervisors.

They have developed a rigorous research based Competence Framework to identify the core competences of a professional Coach and Mentor.  The EMCC Competence Framework  is widely recognised, regarded and endorsed within the coaching and mentoring communities.

It is the gold standard for coaching and mentoring, intended for individuals, as well as coaching and mentoring development programmes.

By the end of our programme you will receive the EMCC EQA Foundation Certificate in Mentoring.  Participants wishing to study further can use the award as a fast track towards achieving their European Individual Accreditation (EIA) at Foundation level, subject to meeting the additional criteria required.
