The European Mentoring & Coaching Council

The European Mentoring & Coaching Council (EMCC) exists to promote good practice and the expectation of good practice in coaching and mentoring across Europe. The OCM’s Chairman, Eric Parsloe, was one of the founding fathers of this organisation and was instrumental in the creation of industry wide coaching and mentoring standards.

These standards offer the market place the much needed framework to enable:

  • Purchasers of coaching and mentoring services to understand the quality of what they are buying and to make appropriate choices for their respective needs.
  • HR and Learning Development specialists to chose appropriate programmes for developing their own managers and leaders in coaching and or mentoring skills.
  • Individuals who wish to train as coaches and mentors to select programmes with confidence that the content is of high quality and relevant to and recognised by the market they wish to enter
  • Training providers to design their programmes equivalent to the respective standards and gain recognition for the quality of their provision.
