Why Start with a Diagnostic Audit?

Whether you are running an established mentoring programme or thinking about scaling a growing initiative, it can be difficult to know where your scheme sits against global standards and how to prove its value to leadership.

Perhaps you want a quick win to validate the value of your scheme to key shareholders before the next project review. Or maybe you are interested in accreditation, but want to have a better idea of the likely outcome and amount of work required before commiting the full process. 

The Mentoring Scheme Pre-Accreditation Diagnostic Audit gives you a clear, evidence-based health check of your programme. You will discover exactly what is working, uncover hidden operational gaps, and leave with an actionable roadmap to elevate your scheme to a recognised Centre of Excellence.
