It is crucial for mentors to be supported during their learning journey. Participants have the opportunity to bring their practical challenges and dilemmas into Group Supervision sessions with a Certified Supervisor.

One learns from experience and, above all, from reflecting on the experience. Participants are supported in their individual self-reflection and assessment through tailor-made questionnaires and exercises.

New mentors are required to design a detailed personal development plan for the following three years. The plan may include: attending additional training courses, participating in mentoring programmes, and applying the new set of skills in their day-to-day job.

Doing mentoring
The second module focuses entirely on the skills and tools of the mentor. We will start by exploring the responsibilities and limitations of this role and then learn the skills needed to stimulate communication, create interactions, facilitate reflection and manage diversity.
Being a mentor
The third and final module includes the creation of the participant's portfolio and personal development plan, a series of labs to practice what has been learnt, and the final verification of acquired skills and knowledge.
