As part of your continued professional development, mentor coaching plays an important role in helping you refine your skills and deepen your practice.
Beginning January 1, 2027, any new mentor coaching hours used toward your ICF credential renewal must be completed with a mentor coach who has earned the Mentor Coach Qualification (MCQ).
The MCQ establishes a clear global standard for mentor coaching, which helps ensure your experiences are consistent, transparent, and aligned with ICF expectations.
In July, you will be able to search for mentor coaches who hold the MCQ through the Mentor Coach Registry.
Any mentor coaching hours you’ve completed prior to January 1, 2027, will be accepted for your ACC renewal, even if your credential expiration date is after January 1, 2027.
