Diploma Course as a Practitioner Life and Executive Coach

---

The following programme has been designed with the specific aim of widening accessibility by making the learning process as flexible and affordable as possible. Coaching skills and the opportunity to become a coach should be available to everyone therefore by training in a modular format the student can choose a learning route most suitable to his or her personal requirements.

This is particularly helpful to those working within associated professions who may want to improve their coaching skills, but also helpful to beginners who want to progress through the stages at their own pace.

 

 Course Details: Practitioner Coach Course - Part I (Mixed Mode Delivery Programme)

---

This programme is designed in a mixed mode delivery format. There is valuable one-to-one training and coaching practice which takes place via the telephone (deemed as the most suitable mode for learning as this is a popular form of coaching practice). Combine this with the self-analysis and education gathered through workbooks, course reading material and the regular tele-lecture trainings and you gain the mix of a comprehensive knowledge base and sound coaching skills.

These calls are recorded and remain archived so that students are able to access them at times convenient to themselves. This free and continuing access to this library of informative lectures ensures that the subject may be revisited at any time, particularly useful when it becomes highly relevant to the coach's needs.

 Mentor Coaching

These calls form an invaluable opportunity to practice your coaching skills in a secure environment, receiving help, support and guidance through immediate feedback from a mentor coach. This experience is one of intensive learning attained through the private, one-to-one attention of an experienced coach.

Your mentor coach will be allocated to you upon commencement of the course and seven coaching sessions may be arranged directly with them. These can be scheduled to fit around any other commitments and demands on your time.

A practical coaching assessment takes place during your final session. Your mentor coach will mark your coaching performance against specified criteria and will inform you immediately of your success in achieving the required levels of achievement.
 

 Written Work

Throughout the course, you will be asked to submit a number of written assignments, to include descriptive essays and a final thesis. We ask you to do this so that they provide written evidence of your knowledge and views of coaching. You may commence work on these whenever you feel ready and continue at your own pace until completion.

However, as a caring company we are aware that many of our students have not been in a position where they have had to complete written work for quite some time (possibly years!). Therefore, we gently and affectionately coach you through the whole process.

This really is a MUST for anyone serious about developing a professional coaching practice. This three-day residential course provides essential practice of coaching, presenting the student with 'real-life' scenarios, different techniques etc which can be practiced and reviewed under professional guidance.

E-group

An online interactive group of hundreds of coaches throughout Britain and beyond who are available for you to contact, interact with, talk to and get help and support from.

 

 

 

 

Email Weekly Update

We keep in contact with all of our students by sending out weekly e-mail updates and making sure that you are aware of everything that is going on.

A comprehensive monthly in-depth newsletter with articles, coaching tips, quotes, and updates of forthcoming events that would be of interest and benefit to all students and coaches

We set you up with at least one other student perhaps even to three or four that you will connect with, and interact with on a regular basis throughout the length of your training course. These study Buddies will act as a support mechanism for you.
 

 

Support Coach

We allocate you your own trained coach who has already been through the same programme you are on who will be there for you to talk to as often as you want when ever you feel the need for backup, support, guidance or help of any kind.

 

 

 

Your Own Customer Care Person

We give you your own nominated and named customer care person at our head office.

They will be there for you whenever you need them and will contact you on a weekly basis.
 

 

Coaching Support Groups

We are in the process of setting up a nationwide infrastructure of coaching support groups which meets on a monthly basis in many towns throughout the UK. These act as a local network of coaches who you are able to meet and interact with, as a mastermind group and as a highly effective support system.
