Coaching Skills Training

Structure and Content

About the three modules:

We provide three professional training skills modules, aligned with the portfolio credentialing requirements of the International Coach Federation (ICF) and the Association for Coaching (AC). These can be taken separately or combined to give a total of over 60 hours of coach specific training. We also offer a one day introduction to coaching course.

Some trainings are open and others are held in collaboration with various organisations and groups. Contact us if you would like to talk about developing something with you.
