Course overview
Professional Coaching Practice course with Chartered Management Institute Certification
Are you a leader or manager and looking for new ways to empower and enable the people around you to become independent thinkers and learners?
Do you want to improve your coaching skills and build professional coaching into your everyday work?
Do you have an interest in coaching as a profession and would like to begin to develop the skills you need?
This short course introduces coaching conversations as a valuable management and professional resource for helping individuals develop. Course participants are likely to be existing leaders and managers and/or are aspiring to develop coaching skills that will be used in professional practice. The value of this course lies in the focus on developing your skills as a professional coach, rather than on simply developing knowledge.
This highly experiential course will use a variety of active learning techniques to:
- introduce a range of coaching principles, theory and models, based on a relational approach to professional coaching
- provide opportunities in all sessions to experience coaching whether as coach, coachee or observer
- encourage reflection on the experience of coaching as an important part of the learning process
- support participants to produce assignments and submit these for assessment (see Course Information sheet below for more details)
- enable participants to achieve the required learning outcomes for the CMI Level 5 Certificate in Professional Coaching Practice (21 Level 5 CMI credits)
In addition to the teaching provided, as a course delegate you will be given one year's affiliate membership of CMI, allowing access to the full range of resources, research and support on the MyCMI hub.
The course is taught in a blended format with in-person teaching and online sessions. A full schedule, course information and details of assessments is in the Course Information sheet - please click here
