Systemic Team Coaching ® Diploma
Systemic Team Coaching ® Diploma
in partnership with Renewal Associates
A stimulating, practical and multifaceted learning experience, this ICF-accredited programme empowers experienced coaches, organisational development consultants and team leaders to become amongst the most highly skilled and qualified team coaches in the field today. Learning to coach the connections, systemic team coaching delivers value beyond the individual as a sustainable form of team development and stakeholder management.
Upcoming dates:
12 October 2021 - 08 September 2022
London, UK/Face to Face
As a consequence of the uncertainty and turbulence that we are all experiencing with travel, social distancing and quarantine requirements we have taken the decision to deliver the October Module of this Diploma Virtually via Zoom platform, on the 12th 13th and 14th October. We believe that this will help alleviate concerns about potential last minute travel restrictions and or any sudden surge in Covid cases. Our Faculty are all highly experienced in delivering quality training in a virtual format having done so regularly over the previous 15 months including with the current Diploma Cohort and with other STC training. We fully intend to deliver each of the remaining Modules in February, May and September 2022 face to face in London.

Based on Professor Peter Hawkins’ established and proven research, methodologies and training you will gain the skills, experience and knowledge to work as an AoEC qualified systemic team coach.
How to apply the Hawkins’ Five Disciplines Model – you will work with a real-life client case study as part of the programme in order to gain experience of how this coaching model is applied in a real world client setting with support and supervision from both your fellow course participants and an experienced faculty team.
