Is the Mentor Coach Specialization for you?
2 types of Mentor Coaches find their way here:
Whether you're moving quickly toward a deadline or investing in genuine mastery, The Specialization Mentor Path was designed for you.
The Intentional Coach
You want to mentor better, not just qualify
You've been mentor coaching for years and you know there's more depth available. This program gives you the framework, the language, and the practice to elevate your mentor coaching into something truly excellent.
The Strategic Coach
You're making smart moves before the January 2027 deadline
You just learned about the January 2027 deadline and you're not sure how to move forward. This program gives you a clear, structured path to your 10 hours as little as 2 weeks, without sacrificing your depth, quality and peace of mind.
The MentorPath Core Path
Everything you need about the Specialization Path. Nothing you don't.
The Mentor Coach Specialization Path is built around the 6 ICF Mentor Coaching Competencies,
the official standard for what it means to mentor coach with excellence.

3 Live Zoom Sessions × 1.5 hours each with a Master Mentor Coach.
Async Modules
6 - Self-paced in your Student Portal
Weeks to Complete

The MentorPath Core Path Schedule
Your 2-Week Path
Each async module is intentionally designed to prepare you for the live session that follows, giving you the context, frameworks, and language you need before we come together. This means you don’t show up to learn from scratch, instead you arrive ready to engage, apply, and deepen your understanding.
The live sessions are where the real transformation happens. With a strong foundation already in place, during this meeting led by Jille, you’ll use that time to expand your skills, practice in real time, and receive meaningful feedback.
- This is just a sample of the suggested 2 Week progression. As long as you attend the live sessions, you can take more time with the self-paced work and as soon as you are complete you will be awarded the Completion.

Co-creating a learning environment that supports growth and skill integration over time.

Evaluating coaching alignment with ICF Core Competencies with skill and accuracy.
- CLIENT DEVELOPMENT: Facilitates Client's Skill Development
Supporting your mentor coaching client in developing their unique coaching style and presence.
- GROUP MENTOR COACHING: Lead Group Mentor Coaching
Facilitating group mentor coaching with structure, safety, and transformational impact.
Choose the Path That's Right for You
Both paths are designed to meet the full ICF Mentor Coach Specialization requirement and deliver the same core curriculum and live learning experience.
The difference comes down to how much personalized support you want on your journey. Whether you're looking for a streamlined, structured program or a more individualized experience with direct feedback on your own coaching, there's an option built for you.
Coaches who complete The Mentor Coach Specialization Path meet the new mentor coaching standard with confidence, then go beyond it through live practice.
