What EMCC Czechia & Slovakia, z.s. does

EMCC Czechia & Slovakia, z.s. is a Czech non-profit professional association (zapsaný spolek, founded 2012) that serves as the regional national branch of EMCC Global, the international umbrella organization for coaching and mentoring. Originally operating as EMCC Czech Republic, the entity was formally re-established as EMCC Czechia & Slovakia on April 1, 2022, extending its geographic scope to include Slovakia alongside the Czech Republic. Headquartered at Bělehradská 858/23 in Prague's Vinohrady district, the association serves individual professional coaches, mentors, and supervisors across the two markets, as well as training institutions seeking program accreditation and corporate entities with internal coaching functions.

The core offering is a membership and accreditation portfolio built on EMCC Global's international standards framework. Members access the EIA (European Individual Accreditation) system with four tiers — Foundation, Practitioner, Senior Practitioner, and Master Practitioner — plus the EQA program-level accreditation for training providers and ESIA for supervisors. Supporting services include an annual conference cycle (CZ&SK Conference 2022, 2024, and 2026 are confirmed), approximately eight club evenings per year, the 5-Day Challenge (5DC) accreditation preparation program launched in 2020, a podcast series on accreditation, research publications, and working groups such as the Club of Internal Coaches. There is no proprietary software product; the association's "platform" is the membership community, the accreditation quality system, the translated EMCC Global competency framework and ethics code, and a content/blog presence hosted on its website.

The association operates a subscription/dues-based revenue model through individual memberships and collective (institutional) memberships. Specific fee levels are not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is community-led: events, conferences, podcasts, club evenings, and partner outreach through peer associations (ICF ČR, Slovenská asociácia koučov/SAKO, ICF Slovak Charter Chapter, Asociace integrativních koučů) and adjacent communities (IFMSA, the "Corporations Together" corporate coaching cluster including Škoda Auto, T-Mobile, and Raiffeisenbank). The organization is member-supported with no venture or equity capital and is governed by an elected Board (current 2024–2027 President: Janette Šimková; Executive Director: Dana Kodešová).
