What do you mean by how much time do they have to give you? If you mean how much time they must give to you - the answer is none... OK that's harsh. There is no lower or upper limit that is written down in the paperwork. The time they give is dependent on how much help and support you need, and how much time the mentor can give you.

Are they necessary? Well, er, yes....

They are part of your support mechanism as a Coach. They can be used for bouncing ideas off. They are not tutors, they should be outside the course.

I have a couple of mentors who I share ideas and questions with, and I'm a Senior Coach. If nothing else, a mentor can give you a different outlook on what you are doing.

I could really do with a mentor or 2 right now. Just about to start my Level 1 Tutor course.
