Certificate in Professional Coaching Skills

This course is ideal if you are looking to become an Executive Coach or enhance your existing coaching skills.

A specific aim of this programme is to provide a course of study that enables professional accreditation from the International Coach Federation (ICF). Ensuring that students are eligible for professional certified coach membership of the ICF is important if they are to meet the needs of the prospective employers and/or clients, especially those whose quality assurance processes require internationally professionally qualified and certificated coaches. It is a vital underpinning for the pan-European self-regulation of coaches which comes into play in September 2012.
