Continuing Coach Education Programmes

CCE programmes are specialised, advanced coaching courses aimed for experienced and new coaches who work either as external or internal coaches, and wish to expand their expertise in different areas of coaching to be better equipped for their coaching practice. CCEs are also intended for coaches who would like to renew their ACC, PCC or MCC Credential. Our CCE programmes relate to expanding coaching competencies and/or focus on skills that complement coaching, like the use of coaching tools or topics related to personal growth.

Continuing Coach Education Programmes

Business Coaching

Coaches who want to work in the field of business coaching (supporting leaders within organization), welcome to join us at the 20-hour Business Coaching training.

Why is Business Coaching important?

There is an increasing need in the organisations for supporting leaders as the cornerstones of the development and success of the organisation in different ways, coaching being one of them. As business coaching has specific characteristics which are important to consider when conducting a coaching session, additional training for external coaches is highly recommended.

What is Business Coaching?

The goal of Business Coaching is for the client to increase their awareness and become more conscious of their behaviour, with the aim of being successful personally while also contributing to the success of the organisation. This dual focus is a key difference between business coaching and other types of individual coaching.

Who is the programme designed for?

The programme is designed for both experienced coaches and beginners who are expected to have completed a minimum of 60 coach-specific training hours and be familiar with the ICF Core Competencies.

What to expect from the programme?

The programme focuses on one-to-one business coaching delivered by external coaches. It covers the three main phases of business coaching: the input phase (e.g., partnering with the client and relevant stakeholders), the process phase (e.g., evoking self-awareness within the organisational context), and the output phase — providing a framework for sustaining the client’s learning and growth after the completion of the business coaching engagement. The programme consists of 20 hours of experiential training in line with ICF Core Competencies.

Continuing Coach Education Programmes

Group Coaching

For coaches who already work in the field of group coaching or intend to do so, we have prepared the programme Group Coaching in Action.

Why is group coaching important?

Group coaching enables participants to achieve individual goals by creating a safe environment where they can openly share challenges, learn from one another, gain diverse perspectives, and experience both personal and professional growth. One of the most valuable benefits of group coaching is that it empowers group participants to take ownership of their outcomes.

What is group coaching?

Group coaching brings together individuals with shared personal or professional goals and helps them achieve these goals individually. Organisations use group coaching to support employees who are usually not members of the same team. However, they might have similar roles (e.g. they are all new leaders), want to develop common competencies (e.g. communication in challenging situations) or are experiencing similar situations (e.g. young parents returning to work after parental leave).

Who is the programme designed for?

The programme is intended for experienced coaches who have completed at least 125 hours of coach-specific training and want to transition from one-to-one to group coaching.

What to expect from the programme?

The programme Group Coaching in Action will help you answer open questions about working with a group and provide practising opportunities so that you, as a coach, can implement group coaching more easily and effectively. The programme consists of 40 hours of experiential training that addresses characteristics of group coaching, group coaching competencies, possible structures of group coaching, group dynamics and facilitation skills as applied in group coaching.

Continuing Coach Education Programmes

Team Coaching

For coaches who already work in the field of team coaching or intend to do so, we have prepared the programme Introduction to Team Coaching, followed by Team Coaching in Action.

Why is team coaching important?

It is becoming increasingly clear that teams have greater potential than individuals to rise to the growing challenges facing organisations (Hawkins, 2017). Organisations are therefore using various approaches, such as team building, team facilitation, team mentoring and team coaching, to support teams in achieving excellent team results.

What is team coaching?

Team coaching focuses on team-based learning and development processes, considers the team to be a system and is thus applied collectively to the team as a whole. The goal of team coaching is to raise awareness of the team’s behaviour patterns, strategies, beliefs and values, with the aim of achieving team success while at the same time contributing to the success of the organisation. This systemic approach, in conjunction with a dual focus, is an important aspect that team coaches take into account when implementing team coaching.

Who are the programmes designed for?

Both programmes are intended for experienced coaches who have completed at least 125 hours of coach-specific training and want to transition from one-to-one to team coaching in order to better meet the needs of organisations in today’s volatile, constantly changing world.

What to expect from the programmes?

The programme Introduction to Team Coaching followed by Team Coaching in Action will help you answer open questions about working with a team and offer a structure as well as practising opportunities so that you as a coach can implement team coaching more easily and effectively. Each programme consists of 20 hours of experiential training in line with Team Coaching Competencies developed by ICF.
