Coaching Professional Apprenticeship

Programme overview:
Coaching as a profession has grown rapidly over the past 5 years and continues to go from strength to strength, being adopted as an effective and impactful approach in a wide range of small, medium and large organisations in the public, private and charity sectors. The broad purpose of coaching is to empower people to find their own solutions and to take accountability for their own performance and progression whilst at the same time aligning personal goals with those of the organisation.
Coaching is increasingly being adopted as a leadership approach with more and more organisations investing in building a coaching culture which in turn support staff retention and improves employee engagement levels – in short, a coaching culture leads to higher performing individuals, teams and organisations.
This programme delves deep into individuals’ underlying assumptions, beliefs and values to enable them to increase their ability to build strong relationships and to recognise their own impacts on those around them. It considers how people think, feel and make decisions and how people learn and adapt to change whilst considering the organisation’s strategic purpose and addressing any barriers to achieving that. With a strong focus on people, building confidence and self-efficacy, change management, career progression, outstanding communication and self-awareness as a tool to see situations from a range of perspectives in order to make effective decisions, this is a course for anyone working with people.

Advanced Communication skills
Communication in coaching is more advanced and more impactful than general day to day communication. We explore what it means to actively listen, to refrain from judgement, to hold the silence, to ask impactful questions and how to use other non-verbal clues to support someone to go further in their thinking.
Psychology and Coaching

Effective Feedback and Relationship Management
Coaching is built on effective, trusting and honest relationships and a part of that is having the courage to share meaningful yet non-directive feedback. In this unit, we consider how to use models to support us in giving feedback that is helpful to people whilst protecting the relationships that help us to work well together.
Professional Conduct and Ethics
A coach is a privileged and trusted position and with that comes the responsibility to act in a way that is safe, ethical and within our professional competence and boundaries. Here we look at the regulatory bodies that set out ethical practice and build our confidence in knowing what our boundaries are and how we can practice safely and effectively.
Coaching Conversations
The idea of a coaching conversation is that it is impactful, transformational and has a focus or goal that we work towards. In this unit, we look at how we can create a ‘container’ for a coaching conversation so that we are maximising the benefits and outcomes of our time spent together.

Here we will look at how you can influence key stakeholders to support the development and embedding of a coaching culture whilst taking a logical and measurable approach to demonstrating the return on investment in the intervention.
