The International Regulator of Coaching and Mentoring CIC (IRCM) is a company limited by guarantee and a Community Interest Company. The IRCM is the only international regulator for Coaching and Mentoring approved by the Regulator of Community Interest Companies; which is appointed by the United Kingdom’s Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy.

This approval gives the IRCM to carry out activities for the benefit of coaching and mentoring professionals, associations (accreditation bodies, membership bodies, and associations), training organisations, and the public or corporate end user. The activities carried out by the IRCM cover a register, awarding accreditations, working with those committed to raising the standards, confidence and excellence in the coaching and mentoring profession. The community (professionals and consumers) will benefit by the IRCM providing a single unified register of all professionals and organisations (registrants) that meet our criteria which include abiding by a unified code of ethics and disciplinary procedures. The IRCM will record all notifications of professional misconduct and registrants can be removed from the register with a comment as to the reason, left for public record.

The IRCM endeavours to support all genuine coaching and mentoring professionals and organisations;
and to continue to work to promote excellence,
improving confidence in the international community of coaching and mentoring.

All professionals and organisations will be listed on the register; with those agreeing to abide by a unified code of ethics and disciplinary procedures highlighted in one of two ways. Accreditation by the IRCM provides an additional level of professionalism, accountability and a level of confidence demonstrating that the organisation or professional has committed to building trust, confidence, and excellence in themselves as a coaching or mentoring professional or organisation. Registration by the IRCM provides a level of commitment demonstrating that the organisation or professional has agreed to abide by a unified code of ethics and disciplinary procedures.

The IRCM is here to PROMOTE Coaching and Mentoring.
