Peer Mentoring

The Mentoring Award at SCQF level 4 has been designed to recognise the knowledge and skills developed by mentors when taking part in organised mentoring programmes.

This award covers both the theory of mentoring and mentoring in practice. The fact that a mentor will have to reflect on their own experiences and share those experiences with mentees that they are trying to help can have many benefits. Performing the role of mentoring can increase confidence, self-esteem and self-worth, while also developing skills such as leadership, communication, and empathy.
