How you learn

The programme runs over the course of a year and is provided through a blend of both virtual and in-person modules, held in London.

Please note the Systemic Team Coaching® Certificate and attendance on one of our Action Learning/Supervision Groups help you to prepare for the Diploma programme and form part of the entry requirements.

You will explore and discuss the practice of systemic team coaching and the research and theory which underpins it.

You will practise key skills and supervision through team coaching with your peers, by working with the dynamics of the learning community, by using the Team Connect 360 diagnostic tool and by arranging a team coaching case study with a client.

The programme uses its large group experience with observations and comments from the faculty team who will openly discuss the process.

Personal development comes through being a participant on the programme and examining the process of being in it, while going through it and from the final assessment.
