Structure and Style

It is a journey in which you initially identify your development needs, then, in conjunction with your faculty and fellow learners – the ‘community of practice’ – you execute your learning plan. Each plan will be different because each journey is different, echoing the journey of the client or coachee.

The learning from the Programme is a developmental journey, where you learn experientially and reflect on your learning as you progress. You take a great deal of responsibility for your own learning, using the resources, materials and support provided.

The programme draws on a combination of learning methods:

• Experiential learning: learning by doing and reflecting on the work on an ongoing basis in the supervision sessions
• Input from expert practitioners: Masterclass sessions provide input and opportunities for discussion and comparison
• Self-managed and self-directed learning: the Learning Journal documents development and learning and provides participants with the opportunity for reflection and ongoing self-assessment
• Learning from other learners: discussion, peer assessment and feedback are essential developmental components
• Being Assistant Faculty on either the AEC’s Diploma or Advanced Diploma programme
• Learning from external sources: participants are encouraged to reflect on and improve their coaching practice from coaching commercial clients
• One-to-one tutorials: learning is supported by tuition, supervision and rigorous feedback from faculty members
