Coaching - Post-Graduate Certificate in Business & Executive Coaching

This programme is running in conjunction with PB Coaching

This course is validated by Leeds Metropolitan University. Selecting the right coach training is a difficult decision. We appreciate that. There are several offerings on the market and, at present, no industry-wide validating body to set standards and guarantee consistency of product and quality. As founder members of the European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC) we are committed to remedying this situation and Peter Bluckert is playing an active role alongside other senior practitioners in developing the coaching profession. An ethical code is now available along with guidelines for supervision, and standards for both coach practitioners and training course providers will emerge in the coming months which should give greater peace of mind to those people looking to hire a coach or invest in their own coach training. Until then you have my personal assurance that we have taken these issues very seriously indeed in the design and delivery of our own coaching courses. We are confident that our advanced programmes contain all the key elements which in future will be seen as industry-wide best practice:

• 100 face-to-face training hours

 Quote from past delegate:

"Applying the skills, techniques and knowledge developed on the Post Graduate coaching course has been one of the key pillars in transforming our organisation and its culture.  We're seeing a really positive shift in the way we conduct our conversations and a new honesty in the way we deal with each other. I want to thank NW Employers for offering this opportunity"
