This training will enable you to gain a recognised professional qualification, the Associate Certified Coach Credential with the International Coaching Federation (ICF).
It is a highly experiential programme focusing on developing the core competencies and skills that have been set out by the ICF. In addition, it is about growing your coaching mindset, and increasing your self-awareness so that you can be an effective professional coach. We draw on thinking from Neuroscience, Transactional Analysis, Neuro Linguistic Programming and Carl Rogers Client Centred approach. We create a psychologically safe environment for learning, and our style reflects a person-centred approach to adult learning.
Online training days which comprise your synchronous learning hours use the principal method of experiential learning: learning by doing, coupled with personal reflection and exploration. There are tutor inputs, interactive sessions, discussions, practice with observation and feedback, live demonstrations of coaching by credentialed coaches; MCC, PCC and ACC, a group coach mentoring day +2 x 90 mins individual coach mentoring sessions. There are also additional self-directed asynchronous learning hours that are completed outside of the training days. These include a reflective journal, short assignments, quizzes, recorded coaching demonstrations to review and learn from, short questionnaires, reflective questions, and preparation for your individual coach mentoring sessions.
Resources are provided to support you for when you with set up a business as coach or working as an internal coach when you complete the programme. Finally, to integrate the skills that you are learning you also engage in peer-to-peer coaching and coaching real clients during the programme so that you start to build your coaching experience and hours as a coach.
