If our testimonials from our Certified Coaching Leads aren't enough to whet your appetite, here are three more reasons to sign up:
1. Learning tailored to help you build a great coaching team
The Certificate in Coaching Leadership is uniquely tailored to support the coaching lead. It will:

2. Carefully curated learning experiences
The Certificate has been painstakingly designed to give you the chance to:

The programme weaves these experiences together: you will see, hear about, practise, discuss and master new learning.
3. A rigorous and reasonable experience
- The programme is rigorous. We will push you to think hard, improve your practice & transform your coaching programme.
- It’s also reasonable. It’s designed to fit around the busy life of a coaching lead. We won’t waste a moment of your time.
