Business Coaching Fundamentals (Short Course)

What to expect:

This short course teaches the key aspects to be considered when starting out as a business coach. A professional business coach finds themselves part of a growing international industry whose aim is to help clients succeed.

The role of a coach is to collaborate with a client to understand the problems in their business and to then work together to come up with ways to conquer these problems. These include everything from coaching fundamentals to useful psychological theories and coaching methodologies. Each lesson links the learning back to the GROW model of coaching to give the student a well-rounded introduction to a popular coaching method.

How does it work?

Our 20 hour courses are self paced and will help you understand a topic in a short amount of time. You can work through the course when you like- test yourself with mini-tests along the way. There are extra case studies or research you can undertake if you would really like to get into the topic. Once you have completed the lessons and self assessment tasks, there is a final exam undertaken online. You can then download your personalized certificate.

Note: these short courses are self-guided online courses and are not to be confused with our tutor-supported online courses.
