What you need to know
The Certificate and Diploma in Coaching and Mentoring are ideal qualifications for managers with significant responsibility for coaching and mentoring as part of their day-to-day role. They are also designed to develop learners planning to move into a development role or start a career as a freelance coach and mentor.
There are three mandatory units in each qualification.
Unit 1 - Understanding the skills, principles and practice of effective management coaching and mentoring
This enables learners to understand the role and contribution of coaching and mentoring, and build a business case.
Unit 2 - Reviewing own ability as a management coach or mentor
This gives learners the ability to critically review their own personal qualities, skills and competence.
Unit 3 for the Certificate – Undertaking management coaching or mentoring in the workplace
This requires learners to demonstrate their ability to plan, deliver and review at least 12 hours of coaching and mentoring in the workplace.
Unit 3 for the Diploma – Undertaking an extended period of management coaching or mentoring in the workplace
This requires an extended 100 hours of coaching and mentoring, with multiple clients, with an added focus on using supervision and reflective review to develop individual practice.
The programme launches with a two-day foundation session (modules 1 and 2) which includes an overview (including assignment guidance), introduction to the ILM and available study resources, support for creation of individual development plans, and some initial co coaching activities. There will be two further one-day modules (3 & 4), spread over a six-month period.
Each participant will also be offered 4 one-to-one telephone or skype coaching/supervision sessions to support their individual development plans and coaching/mentoring practice along with feedback on any diagnostic instruments used.
Our price Includes: ILM registration and membership, assessment and internal verification, module delivery and all participant materials, plus venue and refreshment costs. This course is held at our training suite in Diss. Please note that the price does not include overnight accommodation costs; however, we do have preferential rates at a local hotel.
