The MCS- Credit for Prior Learning Pathway
You already mentor coaches. Maybe inside a school, maybe privately, maybe both. What has changed is that ICF now formally recognizes this work through the Mentor Coach Specialization, and the Credit for Prior Learning pathway is built for exactly your situation: an experienced mentor who has the practice, and now wants it documented and recognized.
This is not where you learn to mentor. It is where you turn the mentoring you already do into recognized capability. It gives you the 10 hours of education the pathway requires, and it sharpens the one part that stays hard no matter how long you have done this: judging, consistently and out loud, whether a real coaching moment meets the ICF standard, and defending that judgment. You leave with hours that count and an eye you can stand behind.
Recognized. ICF-Aligned.
Our program meets the 10-hour mentor coaching education requirement and is built to make your judgment reliable:
-
Live, synchronous sessions led by an experienced Mentor Coach and ICF PCC
-
The full 10 hours (and more) of mentor coaching education the CPL pathway requires
-
Real Faculty Reference Cases you learn to rate against ICF standards
-
Cross-Assessor Calibration, seeing where assessors agree and where they differ
-
A repeatable structure for developmental feedback that grows a coach
-
Lifetime access to teaching recordings in Google Classroom
-
A small cohort, capped at 9, with practice in triads throughout
-
Counts towards the Mentor Coach Specialization via the Credit for Prior Learning Pathway for experienced Mentors
Ten hours, delivered live across three evenings, in five units that cover all six ICF Mentor Coaching Competencies
What You’ll Explore:

Foundation and Ethics — what mentor coaching is, the competency model, and the ethical ground it stands on

You will learn to see coaching. Not just do it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the CPL pathway to the MCS? The Mentor Coach Specialization is ICF's recognition for mentor coaches. Credit for Prior Learning is the route for coaches who already mentor: it recognizes your existing experience alongside the required education. This course provides the education step. Two further steps, ICF evaluator training and confirmation of your prior mentoring, are completed through ICF.
Is this accredited by ICF? The 10 ICF CCE hours are pending. The application was submitted on 4 June 2026 and is under review, usually six to eight weeks. We describe it as accredited only once it is granted. Elevate Life itself is an ICF accredited school at Level 1 and Level 2.
Who can I mentor toward after this? It depends on your ICF evaluator training. With ACC BARS you can mentor toward ACC, with PCC Markers toward PCC, and with MCC BARS toward MCC.
Do I qualify to enrol? Yes, if you are a current ICF credential (MCC, PCC, or ACC with at least one renewal) and at least five coaches mentored in the past three years.
How is it delivered, and what if I miss a session? Three live evenings on Zoom, with guided work in Google Classroom between sessions. Teaching sessions are recorded with lifetime access, so you can catch up.
When is the next cohort, and how do I pay? Register your interest below or on the event page, and we will send you the dates. Once your place is confirmed, payment details follow by email: a card link for international participants, and local bank transfer for participants in Pakistan.
