How can I get all ten hours of ACC, PCC or MCC ICF mentor coaching for around $300-$400?

1. Plan ahead and start early. Mentor coaching is most valuable when you do it over a longer period of time. That’s why the ICF specifies that your 10 hours of mentor coaching need to be completed over a minimum period of three months.
2. Start with group mentoring. Register for one or more group mentoring sessions at the credential level that you are applying for next. All group mentoring sessions give you 1.5 hours of group mentor coaching.
3. Once you’ve accrued at least 6 group mentoring hours (4 x 1.5hr group mentoring sessions at $55-75/session depending on your credential level), and are within three months of applying for your credential, you can apply to be assigned an individual mentor for the credential level you are applying for or renewing (this application costs $55-75 per assignment – not per session).
4. Your assigned mentor will give you three one hour sessions of individual mentor coaching. You don’t pay per session, as you paid to be assigned a Reciprocal Peer Mentor. You will return the favour later, when you become eligible to be a mentor coach yourself, and give back the mentor coaching hours to another member of the ReciproCoach community. This is our ‘pay if forward’ model.
5. At this point, if you stopped at the 6 hours of group mentoring, you will have 9 hours of mentor coaching, and need just one more. For this, you can either join another group mentoring session, or choose one of our Recommended Mentors to do a final session with be submitting your credential application.
6. With all ten mentor coaching hours complete, you apply for your new credential, ideally achieve it, and then some time after you become eligible to act as an ICF mentor coach at that credential level yourself, you will be assigned a mentee to who you will return the three hours of mentor coaching.
