Why does Mentor Coaching have to be a minimum of 3 months for an ICF Credential?

Modified on Thu, 09 Mar 2023 at 04:11 PM

ICF believes good mentoring should provide several opportunities for the coach to go through the cycle of having someone listen to their coaching, receive feedback, reflect on the feedback, practice new skills, and best to go through this loop multiple times. In order for this to be effective, the policy is that mentoring be obtained over a period longer than three months.
