COMENSA was encouraged in its founding years by I-Coach (Middlesex University London), the European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC), and the Worldwide Association of Business Coaches (WABC). COMENSA is affiliated to the EMCC and WABC, and has taken part in the development of international coaching competencies for business coaches with the WABC.

COMENSA members have spoken at international conferences for both organisations internationally. COMENSA took part in the International Coaching Convention (ICC) that was held in July 2007 in New York, and in July 2008 in Dublin. The purpose of the ICC is to collaborate internationally to research, define and develop the coaching profession worldwide.
