Accreditations across EMCC Global

EMCC Global accredits individuals (leaders, coaches, mentors and supervisors), training programmes, and organisations. We recognise prior learning and experience in awarding individual accreditations – irrespective of provider or accreditation body.

The EMCC Global Individual Accreditation (EIA) is an internationally recognised accreditation that demonstrates that an individual practising as a professional mentor/coach has the appropriate level of knowledge and the ability to apply it effectively in their practice.

Coaches and mentors who have undergone a programme with one of our EMCC Global Quality Award providers (see below) will already received the quantity and standard of training they need to evidence as part of their application. However, EMCC Global also recognises prior learning irrespective of where that learning took place; we just need assurance that the learning meets our criteria.
