International Authority for Professional Coaching and Mentoring (IAPC&M)
We accredit independent coaches, mentors and coach/mentor training providers to ensure that they are operating at the highest possible standards. Who we are:
Established in 2004 as ECI Accreditation Limited, and most recently recognised as the IIC&M, we remain an independent not-for-profit organisation, run by coaches and me
ntors for the benefit of coaches, mentors and training providers. We are an international organisation with members all over the world. We are an authority on accrediting professionals in our industry because that’s our core business. We don’t have a training course to plug, and we are not driven by shareholders. Therefore, our sole focus is to make sure every single step of the accreditation process directly benefits our members, including the hiring public. What we do:
We accredit independent coaches, mentors and coach/mentor training providers to ensure that they are operating at the highest possible standards. We also work with corporations to accredit in-house coaching/mentoring teams. This is reflected in our purpose:
- We provide accreditation to enable practitioners to demonstrate they have the highest levels of professional standards in the industry
- We are committed to supporting training providers and helping with the on-going education of practitioners personally and professionally, though a structured CPD programme
- We are an independent, inclusive organisation, open to exploring strategic alliances as well as adopting new ideas and practices that benefit everyone. Why do we do what we do?
- We are passionate about protecting everyone from non-accredited practitioners and trainers so we only promote professionals working to the highest possible standards.
