Q. I am interested in developing coaching skills that I can use in my day-to-day interactions and work conversations. I am yet to undertake any training in coaching and am currently not working in a coaching capacity. Do you have a programme that is suitable for me?
A. The Foundation in Coaching Skills Programme is designed for anyone interested in developing coaching skills - you could be a manager, human resource or training consultant, business consultant/adviser, teacher, counsellor, therapist, social worker, sports coach or parent. This programme will help you to develop foundation level skills that will equip you to progress to other i-coach academy programmes should you wish.
Q. I have foundation level coaching skills and I am able to engage in a coaching conversation. What is the next first step towards becoming a professional coach?
A. The Certificate in Coaching Practice Programme. This is the first year of the Masters in Professional Coaching and will provide you with an excellent foundation in the practice of coaching. This programme is designed for anyone aspiring to coach formally and is also suitable for experienced coaches who wish to articulate their current approach by building a unique coaching framework and benchmarking themselves with a peer group.

Q. I am an experienced professional in my own field and have coached informally for years.
