Types of Accreditation

Accredited Training
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.
