The Hellenic Coaching Association affiliated with the European Coaching and Mentoring Council (EMCC) on June 2010, thus becoming the Greek arm of this pan-European organisation.
The EMCC brings together all parties interested in coaching and mentoring and has over 5,000 members in 21 countries, with more countries affiliating every year.
In becoming part of the EMCC, the HCA joins a pan-European community dedicated in building a reputable coaching profession. Together we are creating a European identity for the coaching profession, with a strong scientific basis and high standards of practice.
The HCA has one seat on the Council, the EMCC’s governing body, and HCA members are currently working together with European colleagues on:
- Coaching competency standards for the profession Europe-wide
- The European Individual Accreditation (EIA)
- The European Quality Award (EQA)
- The European Supervision Individual Accreditation (ESIA)
- Competence Framework Workgroup
