The Art of Mentoring Excellence

Elevate your practice from coaching clients to shaping the next generation of coaches. Earn your ICF Advanced Accreditation in Mentor Coaching (AAMC) through a rigorous, highly interactive 60-hour developmental journey.

Redefining Mentor Coaching

Mentor Coaching is vastly different from coaching a corporate client or teaching a class. It is a highly structured developmental process that helps other coaches strengthen their competence through observation, reflective dialogue, and specific, competency-based feedback.

Our program, The Art of Mentoring Excellence, is designed exclusively for experienced coaches who aspire to become ICF-recognized Mentor Coaches. Rather than evaluating a coach to simply pass an exam, we train you to support their continuous learning, professional growth, and coaching mastery in strict alignment with the ICF Core Competencies and the ICF Code of Ethics.

The Neptune Excellence Approach to Mentoring

At Neptune Excellence, we believe Mentor Coaching is a profound responsibility. Generative AI and generic programs cannot teach the nuances of human observation—that requires lived experience.

Guided by Global Master Coaches

You will be mentored directly by Sanjay Shesh (ICF-MCC & ICF Certified Assessor). His deep expertise as an official ICF assessor provides you with an unparalleled, behind-the-scenes understanding of exactly what the ICF looks for in coaching proficiency at the ACC, PCC, and MCC levels.

Experience It, Don’t Just Learn It

Our approach balances internationally recognized ICF standards with immediate practical application. You will not just sit through lectures; you will actively engage in competency-based observation, supervised mentor practice, and collaborative peer learning. We ensure you build the psychological safety and advanced judgment required to mentor coaches with absolute integrity.
