After completion of the entire P2P DOC program, as well as submission of mentor documentation and feedback, participating mentors will receive a certificate of 3 ECTS (Transferable Skills Catalog / Social Competence). In addition, mentors will receive a confirmation of participation from the Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs. The dean responsible for each mentor’s studies will decide on the applicability of these ECTS as social skills as part of the requirements of the respective curriculum.

Each mentor meets with their mentee(s) in person or virtually every two to three weeks. In between, they communicate via text, WhatsApp, email, phone, video conferencing, or other preferred means of communication as needed or desired.

The mentoring pairs will receive training, orientation, and guidance. No prior knowledge or experience as a mentor or a mentee is required.

P2P DOC is fully funded by TUW DOC Center. Mentors and mentees can participate voluntarily.
