Timing /
Schedule

regular ongoing coaching supervision as soon as you begin an active coaching
practice, whether or not you decide to enter the diploma programme at that
point. Supervision offers support, guidance and challenge and helps form
the basis of your best practice.
We expect that coaches will normally
enter the diploma programme within 12 months of completing the certificate
training. If you plan to leave a longer gap between the certificate training
and the diploma programme then please discuss this with us first.
The programme will be offered twice
each year:
-
March – August

September - February
