From our CCL graduates:

*I’ve learnt more this year, being part of the Certificate in Coaching Leadership, than in my last ten years in teaching and leadership combined.* Millie Denby, Deputy Headteacher, William Perkin CofE High School (Twyford CofE Academies Trust)

*The Steplab Certificate in Coaching Leadership has made a transformational impact on my understanding about how effective professional development can be used to drive school improvement.* Olivia Page, Trust Director of Professional Development, Education for the 21st Century

*My knowledge and understanding of how to design and implement an effective professional development programme has improved immensely as a direct result of the Certificate and as such, my ability to effectively lead on coaching at both a school and Trust level has developed in such a way that the impact is clear to see.* Helen Lisseman, Teaching and Learning Lead - Primary, Oak MAT

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:

• Build your coaching expertise – and support you to share that expertise with your coaching team
• Guide you in recruiting, training and supporting a highly effective coaching team
• Help you to make instructional coaching work as a core part of a coherent teacher development programme

2. Carefully curated learning experiences

The Certificate has been painstakingly designed to give you the chance to:

• See great coaching
• Hear from the experts
• Visit schools building effective coaching programmes
• Build lasting relationships with fellow coaching leads

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.
