The MCS, Advanced Route

You are a senior coach, a PCC or MCC, and you want the whole of mentoring, not one slice of it. You want to mentor coaches across every credential level, and to do the deep assessment work that mentoring at every level demands. This is our most complete program, 78 hours, designed to meet the ICF Advanced Accreditation in Mentor Coaching standard.

Where the shorter routes prepare you toward a single level, this one builds the rarest judgment in mentoring, cross-level calibration, reading whether a session is truly ACC, PCC, or MCC and holding that line consistently. It is the work our calibration library exists to teach, taken to its fullest depth

Your Learning Experience

Calibrate against other Assessors

Compare your read with recorded ratings from more than one ICF assessor, and work through where they diverge and why. This is where your ear sharpens fastest.

Calibrate across credential levels

Beyond comparing your read with other assessors, you learn the hardest judgment in mentoring, telling whether a session is truly ACC or PCC and holding that line consistently.

Feedback that develops

In your triad you give and receive mentor feedback, and refine how you deliver it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this program accredited by ICF? Not yet. It is designed to meet the ICF Advanced Accreditation in Mentor Coaching (AAMC) standard, and our application is in progress. Until it is granted, we describe it as designed to meet the standard, never as accredited, and we tell you exactly where the application stands before you enrol.

What level will I be able to mentor toward? The program prepares you to read and mentor coaching across ACC, PCC, and MCC. What you may formally mentor toward depends on your own ICF credential and the level-specific evaluation training you complete, ACC BARS, PCC Markers, or MCC BARS.

What if the accreditation is still pending when I enrol? We tell you exactly where the application stands before you commit. And because the Standard Pathway hours sit within this program, your education still supports your route to the ICF Mentor Coach Specialization through the Standard Pathway in the meantime, so your progress does not wait on the accreditation.

Do I qualify to enroll? Yes, if you are a current ICF credential (MCC, PCC, or ACC with at least one renewal)

How is this different from the Standard Pathway? This is the fullest craft, 78 hours against 46, with deeper assessment training, cross-level calibration, a heavier supervised practicum, and a portfolio capstone. The Standard Pathway sits within it, and once the accreditation is granted, this becomes the accredited route.

How is it delivered, and what is the time commitment? Seventy-eight hours, 70% delivered sync with supervised practice between sessions. It includes evaluation-tool training, cross-level calibration against real assessor judgment, two triads, a real-coach practicum, mentoring on your own mentoring, and a capstone portfolio review.
