MCP Overview:

The Mentor Certification Program offered by WOVI is a unique credential and training program. Sessions are offered every few years, typically beginning in either March or October; consist of several meetings; and are open to anyone.  Training is done in the classroom, via webinars, and through actual application of principles learned.

The Mentor Certification Program is typically a six-month program. The first session may be in a classroom in the Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas area. The next sessions may be webinars making it convenient for all participants from any location, or in-person events for stronger interactions and learning.

Why Become a Certified Mentor?

In the corporate world, mentoring and mentoring programs are increasing exponentially. Trained mentors ensure appropriate knowledge transfer and provide critical support to companies and to their employees.

Increased knowledge and expertise, and an additional credential for coaches and therapists that sets you apart from your colleagues. Coaching is a billion dollar industry and practitioners are looking for additional programs and education that help them stand out among the competition. Coaches who also mentor will be in greater demand.

The Mentor Certification program provides you with a unique credential. Participation in this program and earning the Certified Mentor designation puts you on the cutting edge.

It’s more than the certification, it’s the knowledge of mentoring and skill sets you acquire. It’s also the opportunity to practice these new skills in an encouraging and growth environment.

How is the program structured?

The Mentor Certification program runs for six months and is taught through a blend of classroom instruction, assessments, case studies, practical experience, self-paced study, and webinars. Completion of the program and a passing score on the comprehensive final exam will earn you the exclusive Certified Mentor designation.

Who should participate in the program?

The Mentor Certification program is open to everyone. Although WOVI is an organization for women only, we realize that everyone benefits from mentoring and being a mentor.

    What Certified Mentors say about the program

    This program makes empowerment through mentoring a reality.
    There is a mentor inside of everyone waiting to get out. This program let my mentor out.
    It was shocking to me that I learned how to put others first and how to better understand the people I mentor as well as others.
    I became a better listener and gained more than my mentee did during the experiential learning part of this program.

    Benefits of the Mentor Certification Program

    There have been multiple Mentor Certification Programs since its beginning in 2011. Here are comments from a few of those Certified Mentors:

    “The Knowledge I gained will be helpful in all kinds of interpersonal situation, but especially as I mentor, coach and consult with clients.”
    “The part I like best in this program is the interactive self-paced portion – applying what I’ve learned in a real-life situation.”
    “Wow, I didn’t realize how unconsciously incompetent I was in the area until the certification process!”

    There are numerous benefits from earning this certification both within and outside of the workplace. Consider some of them: Certified Mentors ensure valuable knowledge transfer and provide critical support to companies and to their employees. Entrepreneurs and direct sales business owners will be more successful in building their businesses. Coaches who also know how to mentor and possess this designation are in greater demand.

    Consider the top five reasons you should become a certified mentor:

    • 5. A “sit up” and take notice credential for your resume or bio.
    • 4. A new, additional approach to enhance your coaching.
    • 3. You will gain skill entrepreneurs and direct sales business owners use to build their teams and bottom line.
    • 2. You will have the “how to” knowledge that will make you standout in your career.
    • 1. You will be one of the first 100 certified mentors in the world!

    Testimonials

    As part of our dedication to mentoring WOVI, Inc. implemented the Mentor Certification Program in 2011, offering a unique training program that takes mentoring to an even higher level. WOVI’s full awareness of the value and importance of mentoring necessitated this program.

    It is common for people to mentor without knowing the skill and art of mentoring. This program provides you with proficiencies and methodologies that you can use in a broad range of situations and settings to more effectively influence the recipients of mentoring.

    WOVI’s Mentor Certification program provides you with a unique, prestigious credential. Participation in this unique program and earning the Certified Mentor designation puts awardees in the exclusive position of being able to provide mentoring on a heretofore unreachable level. However, it’s more than the certification, it’s the in-depth knowledge of mentoring and practical experience you gain as a result of participation in the program.

    Kathy Garland

    “Mentor Certification program is a great program for anyone looking to sharpen not only their mentoring skills, but also interpersonal skills. The course covers many topics and aspects of mentoring and working with others that you can easily apply. Practical, insightful and I must add, lots of fun. Thank you to WOVI, Pauline Shirley and the whole team that brings this certification process to WOVI members.”

    “I’ve been mentoring for years but enrolling in WOVI’s Mentor Certification Program further validated the critical aspects of mentoring. The instructor, Pauline Shirley, shared several techniques that I had not used before and hearing the experiences of other class participants as they worked with their mentees was very helpful. Mentoring became even more personal and fun for me. If you’re currently mentoring others, become a WOVI Certified Mentor. It really gives you the tools to be a much better mentor.”
