Award in Coaching and Mentoring
The Award in Workplace Coaching for Team Leaders and First Line Managers is a concise qualification made up of three mandatory units which introduce the key aspects of coaching in the workplace.
Participants assess their own ability to use a variety of interpersonal communication skills when giving effective feedback to learners. They look at the range and value of different learning resources to support safe and effective coaching, alongside practical skills in how to monitor and record learner progress.
In the final unit of the Award, participants plan and organise workplace coaching sessions, undertaking coaching and then monitoring/reviewing their own workplace coaching performance.
See the table below for more details about the individual units.
Certificate in Coaching and Mentoring
The Certificate for Professional Workplace Coaches is aimed at participants who will be significantly involved in workplace coaching – within an organisation or as a freelancer.
Participants complete the same three mandatory units as in the Award above but also complete an additional unit, ‘Undertaking an extended period of supervised coaching in the workplace’. In this practical unit participants will develop and improve their workplace coaching, planning, organising and evaluating at least 30 hours of coaching.
