European Quality Awards - EQA & EQSA

European Quality Award (EQA)

The European Quality Award is the EMCC benchmark for quality standard mentoring/coaching training programmes,     EQA provided programmes ensure that successful students meet the research-based competence standards presented in the EMCC Competency Framework.  EQA mentoring/coaching training organisations award their programmes at one of four levels: 

Foundation ● Practitioner ● Senior Practitioner ● Master Practitioner

Individuals who wish to train as mentors/coaches can select from the list of EQA Providers with confidence that the content of the training is recognised as high quality. If you are studying with an EQA provider who has a current membership with EMCC, we are delighted to be able to offer you a discounted individual membership to EMCC UK.

European Supervision Quality Award (EQSA)

ESQA is an independent quality award given to providers of coaching and mentoring supervision training, which recognises that their programmes meet stringent, professional European standards. A list of ESQA Providers can be downloaded here
The ESQA offers:
