A comprehensive coach training programme for anyone seeking a professional coaching qualification. ICF and EMCC accredited. Delivered virtually over 7 months.
About this coaching programme
The Coach Practitioner programme is a 7-month coach training course that develops the knowledge, skills, and reflective practice you need to work as a confident, competent coach. Facilitated by leading coaching practitioners, it combines structured learning with practical coaching experience and professional supervision.
The programme is recognised by both the ICF and the EMCC, giving you a coaching qualification that carries weight across the profession. Accreditation is optional and you choose which body best fits your goals and learning style.
It is designed for anyone involved in coaching or mentoring, whether coaching is part of a broader role or your primary function. It suits those at the start of their coaching practice and those looking to formalise and deepen work they are already doing.
What the programme covers
Over 7 months you will develop coaching skills through a structured combination of workshops, supervision, peer practice, and independent learning. The programme places equal emphasis on coaching technique and personal development.
-
Professional coaching skills
Build the core skills of an effective coach: contracting, active listening, questioning, feedback, and managing the coaching relationship.
-
Reflective practice and personal development
Develop the self-awareness and reflective habits that distinguish a good coach from a great one. Examine your own patterns and how they show up in your coaching.
-
Supervision and mentoring
Receive and give supervision in a supported group context. Learn to use supervision as a tool for continuous professional development throughout your coaching career.
-
Practical assessment
Demonstrate your coaching competence through practical assessment. Your skills are evaluated against the standards required for ICF and EMCC recognition.

Co-supervision practice with your cohort builds both skill and professional relationships. The network you develop during the programme stays with you after it.
