• 2x 2-hours Group Mentoring Sessions live Online/Virtual

• 6x 1-hour One-on-One Mentor Sessions live Online/Virtual
• 1x 1-hour Oral Assessment live Online/Virtual

The ICF requires that all graduates from an Accredited Coach Training Program (ACTP) complete 10 hours of
Mentor Coaching at the PCC level. These Mentor Coaching hours must occur over a 3-month period or longer.
The Coaching Mastery Program includes these 10 hours of Mentoring as outlined above, with the addition of
the Oral Assessment.

The Group Mentoring component is comprised of a total of four (4) hours of Mentoring conducted in groups
of 10 participants or less. These sessions are conducted in two-hour segments, (2 sessions at 2 hour each).
Each are facilitated by an Erickson Approved Mentor Coach. If your Module I started before January 13, 2021,
then the first of these community oriented webinar-based sessions are typically scheduled to take place
between Module II and III and the second will occur after completing Module IV. If your Module I started on
or after January 13, 2021, both Group Mentor sessions will occur after Module IV, spaced one week apart.
During these two live webinars, you will review the ICF Core Competencies, observe live demonstrations of
the coaching skills in action, and you will engage in learning and practice to increase your integration and
demonstration of the ICF Core Competencies at the PCC level.

With the Coaching Mastery Program you will also receive six (6) One-on-One Mentor Sessions, also with an
Erickson Approved Mentor Coach. This individualize and customized sessions can be scheduled upon your
successful completion of Module IV of the Art and Science of Coaching and the Group Mentoring sessions.
They are designed to support you to further develop and deepen your coaching skills with the 11 ICF Core
Competencies at PCC level of proficiency. You will be supported by your Mentors to improve your coaching
skills by highlighting what is working well with your current coaching and by providing suggestions for
improvement. Our Mentors are dedicated to ensure your progress and assist you in fine tuning your
demonstrable coaching skills.

It is highly recommended that you begin your One-on-One Mentor sessions after you have completed Module
IV and your second Group Mentoring session. This is important as it will allow you to establish a baseline for
yourself and support you to integrate the ICF Core Competencies at the PCC level. It is a requirement that
you work with at least three (3) different Erickson Approved Mentor Coaches. You may do two (2) sessions
with each Mentor or you may choose to work with more Mentors. Your One-on-One Mentor Coaching sessions
can either be live or recorded. We do recommend that you participate in at least one (1) live session, so as

to best prepare for your Oral Assessment as this will be live as well.
With the permission of your client, (please see Client Permission for Mentor Coaching below) a Mentor will
listen to a recorded or live 30-minute coaching session conducted by you as the Coach. You and your Mentor
will spend an additional 30 minutes together to debrief the Coaching session. Your Mentor will begin by
inviting you to share your own observations on the session and then he or she will provide developmental
feedback and answer any questions that you might have.

Your Mentor will help you to distinguish your coaching style, support you to become more aware of any
unconscious habits or practices to modify, and provide specific feedback on your demonstration of the ICF
Core Competencies. Your Mentor is also available as a resource for brainstorming, so please feel free to “pick
their brain” about any aspect of coaching during your Mentor Coaching sessions. Within 48 hours of this
discussion, the Mentor will then follow up by providing a detailed written feedback for your reference and to
support your continued learning.

Please note that the ICF requires duration of the Mentoring process to take place over a minimum of three (3)
months as to ensure a thorough integration of the given feedback.

If you are intending to integrate coaching skills into another discipline or profession, such as consulting: it is
important to focus on demonstrating coaching during your Mentor Coaching sessions so that your Mentor can
observe and identify coaching-related performance and skills.

You are permitted to arrange and participate in a maximum of three (3) of your One-on-One Mentor Coaching
sessions with an Erickson colleague. The remaining three (3) sessions must be arranged with a client who is
not a coach nor a graduate of a coach training program. The clients you choose can be one of your regular
paying clients, or a pro bono client. You are permitted to organize a maximum of two (2) sessions with the
same client.

Before the One-on-One Mentor Coaching session begins, you must first obtain verbal permission from your
client. If you are providing a recorded coaching session for your Mentor call, you are required to ask the
client’s permission to record the session for training purposes only. Explain to the client that you and your
Mentor will listen to the recording for feedback and subsequently the recording will be deleted.
This permission should be included in the recording, preferably at the very beginning. It is suggested that as
the Coach you start the call stating, “Today is (state the date). This call is being taped for training purposes
only. (Client’s name) do I have your permission to record this call?”
For a live session: the requirement is to ask your client’s permission to have a Mentor present during the call
for training purposes. In either case, the client should be assured that the conversation will be held in the
strictest confidence.

There are a variety of ways that you can record your coaching sessions. Most learners use either Zoom,
Webex or Skype. Skype has a recording feature as of late 2018. You can set up your own private Zoom or
Webex account for free by visiting their respective websites. Their basic plans are is free. Zoom and Webex
also have their own built in recording features. You can send the link of the recording to your Mentor or if the
recording is a file you wish to share, you may need to use a service such as Google, Dropbox or Hightail.

Some coaches may use their cell phone and to conduct and record their coaching sessions. If you choose this
option, again you may need to download an app that will convert the recording to an mp3 or mp4 file, which
the Mentor will then be able to open. Often, mp3’s can be sent to the Mentor through regular email.

It is important to allow a few weeks between sessions so that you can continue to practice and integrate the
learning from each of your One-on-One Mentoring. You must work with at least three (3) different Erickson
Approved Mentor Coaches. You can arrange for a live or work with a recorded Coaching session in the
following ways:

• If you prefer to work with a particular Mentor you may contact the Mentor directly to set up your live
Coaching session or work with a recorded Coaching session. You and your Mentor can then set up a
mutually agreeable meeting time.
• If you have a live Coaching session booked and you would like to have a Mentor present for feedback,
you can send out a broadcast email message to all or some of the Mentors to see who might be
available for this call. There is, however, the possibility that all our Approved Mentors are booked at
that time, but you can always record the call for a Mentor Coaching session to occur at a later date.
• You can contact a specific Mentor (or several) directly by email to find out what time slots they have
available and then schedule with your client for one of those available times.
• You can record a Coaching session and send the recording to the Mentor you wish to work with. A
mutually agreeable time can be set up through email.

An additional option that is available is what is known as a “double Mentor session”. In this Mentor Coaching
session, you, your Mentor, and a fellow Learning Partner arrange to all work together on the same call. As
with a standard Mentor Coaching session, you coach your Erickson colleague and the Mentor provides you
with feedback and then these roles are reversed and your colleague coaches you who then receives feedback.
These sessions have proven to be highly regarded as they create an opportunity for ‘double the learning’.

Your Oral Assessment is one (1) hour long split into two segments. The first segment is a live 30-minute
Coaching session conducted by you as the Coach with a client of your choosing. This is followed by the second
30-minute segment where you are given feedback by an Erickson Approved Mentor and an Erickson
Approved Assessor. They are both live on the same call from the beginning. It is your responsibility to
arrange a client. The ICF stipulates that you should bring an actual client. However, the ICF recognizes that
coaches in training may not have a client list and, in these cases, you may bring a coaching colleague as your
client to your Oral Assessment.

The Oral Assessment is a ‘Pass’ or ‘No Pass’ process. Coaches who demonstrate all the ICF Core
Competencies at the PCC level that are deemed as a ‘Pass’ will receive the Erickson Solution-Focused Coach
Diploma certificate. With this you can apply for an ICF credential (ACC or PCC) when you have accumulated
the necessary client coaching hours and you have passed the ICF Coaching Knowledge Assessment (CKA).

In case you receive a ‘No Pass’, you are invited back to take the Oral Assessment again. Please note that in
your tuition there is one (1) Oral Assessment included. Further Oral Assessments must be purchased at an
additional cost. Regardless of whether you receive a “Pass’ or 'No Pass", you will receive feedback from the
Erickson Approved Mentor and Assessor on your application and demonstration of the ICF’s Core
Competencies.

After you have completed all your Group and One-on-One Mentoring, you can schedule your Oral
Assessment.
• Arrange your client and identify at least three (3) dates and time frames that will work for you both
to be available for 1 hour.
• Send this information including the time zone, along with the client’s full name and email address to
the Director of Training.
• The Director of Training will then organize the second Assessor / Erickson Approved Mentor and
confirm with everyone.
