Mentoring Assessment Tools

Are you ready to make mentoring work for you? Take the mentoring assessments and find out!

Mentoring is most effective when you’re prepared for it. Whether you’re stepping into a mentoring role, looking to maximise your experience as a mentee, or managing a mentoring programme, being ready gives you more, and enables you to give more in return.

Our Mentoring Readiness Assessments are designed to:

Help you assess your readiness – Identify your strengths and areas for improvement to increase your effectiveness
Build your confidence – Understand what it takes to be a great mentor, mentee, or programme manager
Give you clear next steps – Practical guidance on how to strengthen your mentoring approach
Make mentoring more impactful – Readiness means you get more out of mentoring and give more back

Each assessment takes 10 to 15 minutes to complete. During the beta test phase, personalised feedback and clear recommendations will be provided within 48 hours. We anticipate a faster turnaround time once beta testing is complete.
