1st Czech Coach Accredited by EMCC

The EIA is a Europe-wide recognised award that demonstrates that an individual practising as a professional mentor/coach has the appropriate level of knowledge and the ability to apply it effectively in his practice.

The EIA sets very high standards and is recognised as a quality mentor/coach accreditation in the marketplace. It raises standards and professionalism in mentoring/coaching by:

· Setting high standards in assessment criteria

· Measuring ability against our evidence-based competence framework

· Using reliable and rigorous assessment processes

· Demanding a professional, reflective approach

· Ensuring a commitment to continuing development.

Having an EIA award distinguishes individuals as a professional mentor/coach, with sound underpinning knowledge and the ability to demonstrate ability against demanding and rigorous standards. Specifically it:

· Provides users/buyers of mentoring/coaching services greater certainty of one’s competence and ability

· Raises personal credibility and professional standing

· Demonstrates the awarded individual is continually developing and always improving his/her mentoring/coaching ability

· Raises the credibility and standards of our profession

· Is more than a qualification – it recognises that EIA Holders are able to apply good practice in mentoring/coaching

· Provides a framework for personal development.
