Post course assessment: To complete the assessment component of this course, participants need to be working in, or have access to, an environment in which they are able to provide one-on-one coaching to another person over a period of time. This will be demonstrated through evidence of the provision of one-on-one coaching to at least one person on job-specific skills and knowledge, incorporating at least three related sessions that build on each other, with a total of 120 minutes coaching time; sessions must be delivered on three separate days. Participants have three months to complete their assessment after attendance at the course.
The number of hours taken to complete this assessment will vary between participants. However, as a rough guide, it is recommended that participants allow approximately 8 – 10 hours to complete the assessment for this course.
