{{Mbox|text=Formal Mentoring is designed to provide personal individualized attention between the Mentor(s) and Mentee(s). It provides an accelerated pathway for editors to advance their skills, ranks roles, and/or community involvement.}}
 
Formal Mentoring is conducted by a Waze-approved group of Mentors.
 
 
== Details ==
 
* A controlled personalized interaction geared to educate a mentee on particular Waze editing skills.
* Must come to a formal agreement to start the mentorship, after careful selection of partners.
* Only Waze can approve formal mentors.
* Provided education is more predictable and controlled with high certainty for a positive outcome.
* Goal oriented: intended to improve a particular mentee skill, not a particular feature on the map.
* Repeated interaction, in a defined range of time on a specific range of topics, to improve a particular skill.
* Helps ensure quality map edits over time as editors advance in rank.
* Expectation is to upgrade the mentee skills, allowing the mentee to rise in rank or at least close the gap toward a rise in rank. At mentor discretion, mentee may receive a (temporary) rank change to facilitate the mentorship.
