Our approach
Coaching is a practical skill, with a theoretical basis. Our approach is that we practice the skill in the training room and study the theory outside of the training room.
This makes the training days highly focussed, active and practical, with opportunities to coach, be coached, receive feedback and work on coaching skills.
At the same time, we provide support to make sure the academic and study element is fully met, by providing resources, guidance and specific texts to study
