Who is this programme aimed at?

Bridging to EMCC

You are a qualified coach (ILM Level 3, 5 or 7) and wish to obtain accreditation with EMMC Global at your existing level (i.e. Foundation, Practitioner or Senior Practitioner).

This programme will act as a refresher course and an opportunity to revisit core coaching skills, creating a secure foundation of competence.

Consolidation and Alignment

You are an experienced coach but may not have formal qualifications. Your training may have been basic or a long time ago.

You want to review, consolidate and refine your approach – and ensure your practice aligns with professional standards. It is also an opportunity to connect with peers and build your network.

Beginning your Coaching Journey

You are an experienced manager (over five years) but are not a practicing coach. You wish to begin your coaching journey.

On graduation you will gain Foundation level accreditation (Level 3) and will have the option to progress to stage two, completing the full EMCC Level 5 Certificate in Executive Coaching.

Accreditation

EMCC Foundation level accreditation strengthens a coach’s core skills, enhancing listening, questioning, and reflective practice. It builds confidence, credibility, and a structured approach to client development.

For leaders, it cultivates a coaching mindset, improving communication, emotional intelligence, and team engagement. This enables more effective conversations, problem-solving, and a supportive leadership style that fosters growth.

Online Learning Platform

We use a very user-friendly online learning platform which acts as a secure base for all the work that we do over the 3-month period.

All the handouts contained within the programme will be available here, along with homework assignments and space for community discussion.

The platform acts as a container for the learning journey undertaken by participants. Progress is indicated visually, and overdue tasks are highlighted.

Each module has a Community Discussion area where participants will share resources and reflections. Sessions are also followed up with a fun quiz.

Online Learning Platform
Tom designed and delivered a world class Manager as Coach programme for our company. We carried out an extensive procurement process but were instantly impressed by Tom's expertise and the way in which his proposal dialled into our values and what we wanted to achieve. As a result, we entered the programme with high expectations, but even these were exceeded! Tom's patient and calm delivery, combined with his deep expertise, made this course extremely effective. Many of our managers have subsequently referred to the programme as a 'game changer' and a buzz about coaching is fizzing around our company now! Thank you, Tom and team!

— Nick Wolf, Chief of Specialty SectorsThe structure, content and delivery of the programme was exceptional. The balance between theory and practice was perfectly calibrated to create a very engaging and enriching course. The learning platform was very user friendly and intuitive, enabling tasks to be completed efficiently. Tom's coaching program engendered an incredible sense of positivity amongst us and hope for the future of our organisation and ourselves. I have learned a powerful new skill that will reshape my interactions and hopefully improve outcomes for others.  
Nick RoweHead of Strike and Delay
Without a doubt, this has been the most impactful training I have ever undergone. Tom's ability to simplify complex concepts and bring them to life through engaging modules, exercises, and quizzes is truly remarkable. The hands-on experience of coaching actual clients was invaluable, and Tom and Lisa's supportive feedback helped us all identify our strengths and weaknesses. Armed with this newfound awareness, we are now empowered to cultivate a coaching culture within our company.
