Have the International Coaching Federation (and many more) offering coaching certifications... ICF uses recorded experience and a written test of knowledge to award the certificate
With IMC we verify the competence of a mentor based on evidence-based learning and experience-based educating + submission and use of a Mentoring Log/Portfolio + we use a rigorous verification system which is framed by ISO standards and regulations, and the Criminal Code of Canada from an EOHS perspective...
About verification of knowledge concepts, skill practices, and the attitudinal values IMC recognizes you have lived experience --- and, others want to tap into your lived experience - therefore, when you answer the questions of the person before you with the intention of the evolvement of that person based on ethical values and ecological literacy - then you can begin to appreciate and celebrate what it means to mentor and thereafter be called a mentor... and if a certificate of competence mentor is what you want, it's what we can offer!
