Both types of accreditation are valid for three years. To ensure continued compliance with our standards and evolving best practises in coaching and mentoring, a re-accreditation process must be undertaken after this period. We emphasise the importance of continuous improvement and staying up-to-date with the latest coaching and mentoring theories and practises. This ensures that accredited programs continue to provide significant value to their participants and their organisations.
