Elevating Mentoring Education to International Standards of Excellence
The International Mentoring Center (IMC) provides accreditation for institutions and training providers, recognizing their dedication to mentoring excellence and adherence to globally recognized standards.
Establish Credibility and Distinction for Your Programs
IMC Accreditation validates the quality and excellence of your mentoring education, positioning your institution as a recognized leader in the field. Accredited programs are recognized for meeting IMC’s highest global standards, including:
- Alignment with evidence-based mentoring practices and IMC’s rigorously researched core competencies, which draw on studies showing that structured mentoring increases employee engagement by up to 20% and improves retention by 25% (Source: Gartner, 2023; Deloitte Human Capital Trends, 2022).
- Commitment to the IMC Code of Ethics and Code of Conduct, ensuring ethical mentoring practices that foster trust, inclusivity and professional integrity.
- Delivery of high-quality, impactful content that supports measurable mentor-mentee outcomes, with research indicating that mentees in structured programs report career advancement 5x faster and higher satisfaction with workplace development (Source: Center for Creative Leadership, 2021).
Being an IMC-accredited training provider not only affirms the quality of your programs but also:
- Enhances your institutional visibility on a global platform
- Expands your professional network within the international mentoring community
- Strengthens your reputation as a leader in delivering world-class mentoring education
IMC Accreditation positions your institution as a leader in mentoring, demonstrating a commitment to research-backed practices and measurable outcomes. Show your stakeholders – students, employees and corporate partners that your programs deliver proven mentoring excellence.
Types of Accreditation
We provide two distinct accreditation pathways for mentoring training providers, tailored to accommodate different program sizes and training capacities.
Accredited Training
This is for institutions that provide 20-hour, 35-hour or 50-hour training programs that qualify students for Certified Associate Mentor (CAM), Certified Professional Mentor (CPM) and Certified Master Mentor (CMM) respectively. The awarded accreditations make the training provider eligible to offer programs and certificates with the IMC accreditation badge.
Endorsed Training
This accreditation is for training providers delivering under 20 hours of training. Programs are evaluated on their adherence to IMC’s Code of Conduct, Ethics and Core Competencies. Accredited providers may offer endorsed training to CAM, CPM and CMM credential holders.
