You might be good at getting people unstuck without ever calling it coaching. This course covers coaching models, listening, goal setting, ethics and the business basics. Start any day and move at your own speed.
Models, questions and structure behind your instincts.
Managers and team leads use these skills every week.
The last topic covers coaching careers and business basics.
Coaching work is mostly self made, built one client at a time. Days look like booking sessions, asking good questions and holding people to what they said they wanted.
Work with clients on goals and habits.
Help people build on what they have.
Keep people moving when it gets hard.
Talk through routines, balance and change.
Support healthier daily choices.
Roles where these skills are useful, not promised outcomes. This is non-clinical coaching: it is not counselling or therapy, and those need separate approved training and registration.
Skills first, then models, then your own practice.
Three things worth knowing.
You try the techniques in your own conversations.
A full topic on coaching people fairly and safely.
Earlier study or experience may be credited to some topics.
Plus career support services
Issued by the college when you finish.
Techniques tried out in your own conversations.
CV advice, job tips and interview help.
Clients of your own, or better talks at work.
An advisor is clear on what coaching training covers.
Upfront, or weekly, fortnightly or monthly.
Enrol and open the first coaching topic.
None. There are no entry requirements at all.
No. Business fundamentals come at the end of the course.

None, ever. You go at your own speed.
Yes. There are no fixed start dates or class times.
It might. You can apply for recognition of prior learning on some topics.

That is decided by the receiving institution alone. Contact them directly before you enrol if transfer matters to you.
