Target Audience

You are a suitable candidate for this course if:

  • You have completed the EMCC Level 3 – Internal Coach Development Programme and wish to upgrade your accreditation status to Practitioner.
  • On rare occasions, candidates who already have significant coaching experience and qualifications may apply to attend directly. 

Approach

This programme goes straight into the second half or Practitioner level of the Certificate in Executive Coaching and follows that syllabus precisely.

The course has been added to the portfolio of programmes so that individuals can complete their certification in two parts.

Whilst it is possible to undertake the Certificate programme in two halves, at separate times, we recommend attending it in full in order to gain the best learning experience.

Accreditation

This programme has a dual accreditation with both EMCC (European Mentoring and Coaching Council) and AC (the Association for Coaching). On graduation, learners may select which accrediting body they wish to be part of.

Graduates who wish to be accredited with EMCC will automatically gain that accreditation. Those who wish to be accredited with AC will have access to an accelerated route to accreditation.

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 12-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. Each module gets unlocked at the right time, and all learner requirements are made clear and visible.

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.

If you think you are a great coach, THINK AGAIN!! While this course will challenge you intrinsically it will absolutely provide you with the tools and knowledge to be a truly great coach. It will change your outlook and position on how you interact with people both professionally and personally; and you will find that relationship become more productive and stronger. This course not only helped me to grow and develop as a coach and manager but, consequently has helped my team to become more empowered in their working lives with a greater sense of achievement and fulfilment.

The training is well structured, brilliantly delivered and the balance between 'classroom' time and practical coaching is very effective. Would thoroughly recommend this to any aspiring coach.
Rosie RobinsLieutenant Colonal
This is an excellent and very enjoyable opportunity to master the basics around coaching in a professional and evidence-based way! Very quickly, a group of strangers became a supportive and trusting learning cohort. The group's motivation and warmth made it easy for me to open up and benefit fully from different points of view, experience and feedback. I especially liked the clear structure and overview in the learning platform to keep track of my to-dos. Thanks so much for passing on your knowledge and expertise!
