Courses: General Introduction
The Centre for Coaching, Centre for Stress Management and International Academy for Professional Development have developed an integrated, modular programme of programmes based on cognitive-behavioural and solution focused approaches to coaching. The modular programme is sufficiently flexible to allow Learners to design their own programme of training. Most modules i.e. primary or certificate courses, can be taken as individual workshops or put towards an advanced certificate or diploma programme. Within acceptable limits, Learners can study and attend courses at their own speed depending upon the time and the finances they have available. (However, do check the particular programme you are interested in.) Our Association for Coaching accredited programme is now one of our most popular extended IAFPD advanced diploma programmes.
These training programmes can also be run in-house for organisations.
