We understand that a lot of our students haven’t been in a school environment for some time so we don’t mind about punctuation, spelling etc. etc.

Mentor coach
Mentoring and Feedback (4 x 1 hour sessions)These are primarily to help you prepare you for the skills assessment at the end of the course. You will be familiar with all the basic coaching skills, and the mentoring is intended to develop these to a more advanced level in the context of the workplace.
Your corporate mentor coach will act as your client (for some of the time) during mentoring sessions to support you in continuing to develop your coaching skills for the business and corporate environment. You will coach your mentor (in the role of client) and they will give you feedback on how you are making progress

This aims to develop a working relationship which promotes your professional growth as a coach – with the supervisor’s role being to reflect back to you where they perceive possible or actual unconscious processes or where your professional approach can be strengthened.
Practical coaching + skills assessment
There’s 35 hours of logged practical coaching to be done. This needs to be done with business or corporate clients.
And when your mentor coach thinks you’re ready for it they’ll put you forward for a finalpractical skills assessment. Thinks works exactly the same way as a mentor session but instead of giving you feedback at the end you will be assessed on your performance.
