Select coaching development programmes
There are many training programmes available. As a result, the leading coaching bodies have tried to help organisations and individuals select the most appropriate for them. Lise Lewis, EMCC Vice President was an author of the competency framework and standards which underpin the EMCC European Quality Award for coach mentoring training programmes and suggests you consider the following criteria to help you decide:
- What level of competence will the programme provide?
- Is the programme for managers to adopt coaching skills or are you interested in developing an internal coaching service?
- Will delegates be assessed on their level of competence? - this ensures application of learning
- Is the programme accredited? for example - EMCC, ICF.
