Course Overview
This qualification is ideal for managers and those with significant responsibility for effective coaching and mentoring as part of their daily role. HR and Learning & Development professionals may wish to take this course to gain a recognised qualification to enhance and accredit their experience. The course is also ideal for those looking to retrain into a development role or start a new career as a freelance coach or mentor.
Whilst studying this qualification, you will learn about the theories underpinning coaching and mentoring. You will learn to plan, prepare and deliver a coaching or mentoring programme to support individuals over 18 hours and you will holistically review your ability to perform effectively as a coach or mentor within an organisational context.
You can expect to be challenged, have some fun, learn a lot and engage in thought-provoking learning opportunities! The course involves interactive training workshops (to include peer to peer coaching), group and individual supervision sessions, supplemented with e-learning materials to support further learning. Your competence will be assessed by a range of methods including supervisions, project work and written assignments.
If coaching and mentoring is part of your current job role, this course can be taken as part of a government funded Professional Coaching Apprenticeship.
