Level 1 Training - Cert. Coaching
If you
have no previous coaching training and are starting out in this profession, I
recommend the Applied Coach Education Programme. This is a comprehensive
programme which gives you the skills and knowledge to become a coach of
excellence. Graduates achieve high standards in professional coaching and we
are proud of the calibre of “our” coach graduates.
We
have programmes throughout the year, Numbers are
limited to four per class, which makes maximum use of practical assignments and
interaction. Distance learning options are available where required. Classes
generally meet weekly over the 3 month period, which will also
include undertaking a practical coaching assignment and being coached.
The
programme includes a minimum of 36 hours of coaching practicals which are
supervised by your trainer or an experienced coach. This is an opportunity to
put into place the things you have learnt within a supported environment.
It is
expected that the programme will take approximately 6 months to complete.
