QUALIFICATIONS AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
 
 
 
 
"Mentoring is an excellent way to develop young professionals and it is far more interesting to be a mentor than a supervisor!"Mentor



 
"Initially I was unsure whether I needed the assistance of a mentor, but it proved invaluable. It broke the process down into manageable steps and it was really helpful to receive feedback along the way" Mentee



 
"I believe the scheme to be a valuable one and feel it has greatly helped my professional development and increased understanding of the information and library field"Mentee

"mentor n. experienced and trusted adviser or guide” Oxford English Dictionary.

The mentor is an essential role in CILIP’s framework of qualifications. They are not expected to run training events or instruct the candidates but to help them realize their own potential through encouragement and direction.

Find out more about becoming a mentor, and resources available.

We have provided some guidance on how to choose a mentor.  Both candidates and mentors should read the Mentor Scheme Guidelines closely.

If you are already a mentor and would like to give Chartership candidates more information about yourself then you can use the Communities of Practice. Click here to find out how.
