Course Overview

Combining academic study with practical application and skill development, this Postgraduate Certificate in Coaching Psychology is the essential starting place for experienced managers who wish to understand the role of professional helping relationships at work, and their impact in and out of organizations. You will be introduced to the history and variety of coaching and helping relationships. You will review a range of coaching techniques, discussing their relevance and efficacy, and consider pertinent issues that face the contemporary coach. Using case studies and client work you will have the opportunity to analyze and understand your own work through a range of lenses, allowing for different interpretations. You will learn to supervise effectively, explore different responses and reflect on the coaching relationship process. Issues that are often overlooked, such as ethics, change, boundaries, and defenses, are highlighted. Rather than looking at coaching in isolation, you will consider it in the context of evidence frameworks, organizational systems and practices, and organizations as political arenas.

General Eligibility

A second-class honors degree (2:2) or above in any discipline, or sufficient experience of helping relationships and/or people-oriented activities, such as extensive line management experience.
