Overview
The ILM Level 3 Certificate in Effective Coaching and Mentoring is a nationally recognised qualification. It is particularly useful if you are involved in coaching and mentoring staff at your workplace. Perhaps you are in a supervisory or line management role or are looking to be so and would like a formal qualification.
You will look at a range of approaches, models, tools and techniques that will help you to develop in others the skills, knowledge and understanding they need to be effective in their workplace.
The course is delivered through a mixture of in-college and remote learning.
There are face to face sessions at St Albans Campus on Fridays 13.30-16.30. There will be more of these at the beginning of the course when dealing with the theoretical aspects. Thereafter, you will be undertaking the practical activities in your own setting.
You will also have 1 to 1 supervisory meetings either in person or on TEAMS.
There is currently no government funding for the course. However, you may be able to pay the £724 fee in three instalments.
You would also expect to spend around £60-£70 on related textbooks.
