Mentoring Coaches

Register For Group Mentoring | Request Individual Mentoring 

Transforming the world of work (the motto of Scrum Alliance) requires a critical mass of people with a strong coaching mindset and organizational coaching capability. Developing these traits is not easy and requires many years of hard work and commitment.  Unfortunately, due to increased market demands, some people (described by Larman’s Law #4) prefer to quickly switch their careers, and ‘fast-track’ themselves to becoming a coach, without proper learning, education and experience.

Video Message From The Mentor

Many organizations do not clearly understand what they should be looking for when they engage with a professional coach, and by hiring under-qualified people, further exacerbate the coaching quality problem.

Scrum Alliance has established a high benchmark for professional coaching, by creating the programs of Certified Team Coach (CTC) and Certified Enterprise Coach (CEC).  If you take coaching seriously (as a role AND profession) and wish to contribute to further elevating the bar of agile coaching quality, this program could be for you.

To apply for and receive CTC or CEC credential, you must have pre-application qualifications and then meet application requirements.

Please, review the following:
