Course content

Throughout your course, you'll enhance your ability to manage stakeholder relationships, communicate with impact and problem solve. Taught modules will give you an in-depth grasp of the principles of professional coaching.

  • Module one
    Learn how coaching can positively impact organisational success. You'll be taught how diverse coaching strategies can impact people in different ways. Develop a broader understanding of workplace challenges and how to effectively coach a variety of people. 
  • Module two
    Put theory into action and understand how to successfully build trust and rapport with others. Engage in practice coaching sessions and cultivate lasting change in your organisation. Identify the role of supervision in coaching, and discuss emerging practices including systemic coaching.

I learnt not only during the course but also through completing assignments, as they helped me reinforce the learning and apply it into my own workspace. Being encouraged to proactively seek feedback was really useful.
