THE CHANGING ROLE OF LEADERS AND MANAgERS
Businesses and organisations are increasingly shifting from the traditional command and control approach to leadership and management.
Guidance is replacing instruction as the workplace evolves.
Leaders and managers at all levels of an organisation need to help their team members solve problems, overcome challenges and fulfil their responsibilities – ultimately improving their performance and productivity.
As well as this more supportive role, there is a greater focus on interpersonal skills.
It means coaching has become an essential part of the modern leader’s skillset and of workplace culture.

Here are a few reasons why you should join them:
Expert-led training

South West DTP
Darren, you were a fantastic trainer- thank you. You were really encouraging even when challenging us which is a great skill. I've seen my own skills improving over the course of the 3 practice sessions which has made me feel much more confident. Genuinely this has been the best training course I've been on in the last 3 years. Venue was lush too - very comfy and creative.
Karen Martin
Lowerplace Primary School
To be able to spend such an amount of time considering how to develop into an effective coach, exploring models and discussing in depth so many aspects of coaching has felt a real privilege. Laura has been professional, approachable and encouraging throughout. She has a natural way of putting you at ease and encouraging you to discuss in depth. She has a depth of knowledge that she draws on and links to your own organisation and situation. The opportunity to be coached as part of the training has also been invaluable. I can't wait to get going. Thank you Laura.
Paula Knight
I've given a five for most of the answers as I feel this was one of the most useful and well delivered courses I have been on for a long time. The content was just enough and relevant for what we needed to know. It was backed up by practical examples and Laura's style of delivery was so approachable and welcoming. I enjoyed all of it and the time just flew.
We've got answers for your questions
Every client and every delegate is different - a one-size-fits-all approach to learning and development is ineffective.
So, we offer a range of face-to-face and remote training options.
Face-to-face in Reading or Nottingham
With our Reading and Nottingham classroom options, you benefit from two training days with our experienced tutors.
You’ll reap the rewards of their business-relevant, tried-and-tested approach and will be encouraged to bring live business issues and case histories with you on the course.
Our Nottingham courses take place at our head office. The comfortable training suites are fully air-conditioned with natural daylight and are wheelchair-friendly. Free car parking is also available.
Our Reading courses are located at our sister company, Media First. The training facilities are approximately a seven-minute walk from Winnersh Triangle railway station and easily accessible from London. The training suites are wheelchair-friendly, and free on-site car parking is available.
Videoconference
Our Zoom option combines the best bits of classroom training with the ease and convenience of learning online.
You still benefit from an expert tutor facilitating the programme, but you can attend from anywhere in the world without having to travel to the classroom.
The course content is exactly the same as our two-day classroom option.
The flexibility of this programme means we can offer one-to-one sessions exclusively for you, as well as scheduling the days around your work and personal commitments.
Online
Imagine being able to access your ILM Level 5 learning whenever and wherever you need it.
Well, our online training option gives you 24/7 access to our learning platform for the duration of the course. It doesn’t get more flexible than that.
Packed with video lessons from our expert tutors, this option includes a comprehensive course manual, book reviews, handy guides and personalised tutor support.
The course documents are detailed and easy to read, and you will also be able to upload assessments online and receive online feedback.
Bespoke
We can develop bespoke business coaching courses to meet your exact needs and requirements.
There are many elements to being a successful business coach. You may already excel at some but feel you need to improve in other areas or would just like a bit more practice.
Perhaps you feel you need to become better at giving constructive feedback, for example, improve your confidence or want to ask better questions.
Maybe you are looking for a little support over several months, or you could be looking for some short, sharp training that brings an immediate change.
You might have the qualifications and experience but want to sharpen and refresh your skills.
Whatever your needs – and the requirements of your organisation – our experienced and adaptable business coaching tutors can devise training that will help.
That’s up to you. We have plenty of scheduled course dates for our face-to-face and remote courses. And our online course is ready when you are.
So, your learning journey can start as soon as you want.
It depends on the location of training and whether you want to achieve an ILM Level 5 diploma or certificate.
A diploma qualification with face-to-face training at either our Nottingham or Reading offices is £2,295 + vat and a certificate qualification is £1,995 + vat.
For remote courses, it is £1,895 + vat for the diploma and £1,595 + vat for the certificate.
Our online course is £1,295 + vat for the diploma and £995 + vat for the certificate.
The only difference is in the amount of logged coaching that is required post-course.
If you want to achieve the diploma, you will need to complete 54 hours of logged coaching with four to nine people.
For the certificate, you will need 18 hours with two to three people.
You need to complete three post-course activities to achieve your ILM accreditation.
If you are aiming to achieve the certificate, you will need to complete 18 hours of logged coaching with two to three people.
For the diploma, you will need to include 54 hours of logged coaching with four to nine people.
We offer one year of support to help you achieve this, but you have three years to complete this work.
Additional tutor guided learning will take the format of book and video reviews with ongoing tutor guidance and support via phone, Skype, Zoom or face-to-face.
Yes, we are passionate about the power of continuous learning and ongoing support.
Our website features blogs and webinars to challenge your thinking and keep you up to date with the latest techniques and tips.
Our commitment to your development extends beyond the training session.
We offer one year of support, included in your course price, to help you complete your assessments.
