Guided by People Who've Been There
Every BlackForce mentor is a graduate of the programme. They have completed the same training, earned the same certifications, faced the same challenges, and built the careers you are working toward. They mentor because they know exactly what it takes.
COHORT members are assigned a buddy from day one — a peer who supports you through the entire process.
Four ways to be mentored.
Different situations call for different support. Choose the format that fits your needs, or use all four throughout your programme.
1-on-1 Mentorship
Personalised sessions with a dedicated mentor matched to your career goals, programme track, and professional background. Your mentor is a BlackForce graduate who has walked the exact same path — they understand the challenges because they have lived them.
COHORT Buddy System
Every COHORT member is assigned a buddy — a recent BlackForce graduate or senior learner who supports them through the entire programme. Buddies provide peer accountability, honest guidance from shared experience, and the kind of daily support that makes the difference between finishing and giving up.
Group Mentorship
Structured group sessions led by experienced BlackForce alumni covering shared challenges, industry insights, certification preparation, and career development. Collaborative learning with peers at your level, facilitated by someone who has already succeeded.
