Coaching Qualification

This is a 90 hour Level 5 Certificate course aimed at qualified counsellors, who wish to start coaching clients. The course leads to a tailor-made CPCAB coaching qualification (subject to CPCAB approval).

Completion of the short Coaching for Counsellors course is an entry requirement for this Level 5 course.

The course is specifically designed to assist counsellors who currently work from a humanistic or integrative orientation and who wish to extend their practice, to include coaching by integrating skills and knowledge from a variety of sources without compromising their underpinning principles of practice. These principles include the importance of Roger's core conditions, being authentic in relationship and respecting the client's own resources and potential for change without the need for an 'expert' or external locus of evaluation.
