Welcome and Introduction
by Gerard O’Donovan, CEO and Founder of Noble Manhattan Coaching ltd
** The Classic Diploma Program takes about 360 hours, depending on your speed of learning, and how fast you work will depend on how long it will take to complete. What we usually find is that if someone is doing 10-12 hours per week they can expect to get the course done in 9-12 months.
The course is designed to be fully flexible and is designed to fit around a full-time job or family. You can work through the course a lot quicker if you want to but you can’t really expect to get the course done in less than 6 months. The course is designed to be fully flexible and fit your lifestyle so you can start the course anytime you wish. We also offer our students a number of comfortable payment plans to make it as easy as possible for each student.
Accreditation
The Advanced Practitioner Coach Diploma program is fully recognized, accredited/endorsed by FIVE independent international coaching authorities:
- IAPC&M – the International Authority for Professional Coaching & Mentoring.
- ILM City and Guilds
- Institute of Leadership and Management
- ICF – International Coaching Federation
- IRCM – the International Regulator of Coaching and Mentoring

Part 1 – Distance Learning
We send out, by courier all the course materials that you’ll need for the course. This consists of
• A Student Portfolio – a folder that contains all of the modules and course work that you’ll need to work through
• A course handbook – This will guide you through the whole course and give you information on how to log your coaching work
• A coursebook called Co-Active Coaching.
Book and Book Critique
The first part of the written work is to read the Co-Active Coaching book and write a book critique. The book critique is just your thoughts down on a couple of sheets of A4 and there are no real right or wrong answers it’s just your understanding of the book. You don’t even have to like the book. We understand that a lot of our students haven’t been in a school environment for some time so we don’t mind punctuation, spelling, etc., etc.
Mentor coach
Once the critique has been received back into the office for marking and once you have started working through about a third of the modules and a 1/3 of the teleclasses we will then allocate you a mentor coach. This is a senior or master-level coach. You will have six sessions with your mentor coach which can be taken at any time, each session lasts for 30mins. The mentor sessions are done over the telephone or you can get free calls on Skype. It is a bit like a role-play exercise where you coach the mentor coach (they act as the client) and at the end of each session they’ll give you feedback on how well you did and areas where you need to improve. The mentor coach is like your driving instructor on the practical side.
Study modules
There are 10 learning modules in total and they are dedicated to the following topics:
1 Conversation
2 The skill of listening
3 The ability to ask questions
4 The ‘TGROW’ model
5 Building a report
6 Beliefs
7 Values
8 Building self-esteem
9 Targeting
10 Ethics in Coaching
With each training module, you will also receive audio lectures to listen to.
Learn more about the modules in the brochure here: https://bit.ly/train-as-a-coach
Teleclasses / Webinars
There are 14 teleclass topics to be listened to.
Teleclasses are like mini audio lectures. This was before webinars platforms were available. The teleclasses/webinars tie in with the modules you are working through in your course material and could be on beliefs, ethics, questioning skills, listening skills, etc.
You will find a rich library of over 200 hours of recorded teleclasses/webinars which our students have free access to at all times – available for you to listen to and study. This library is continually being enlarged and updated, by adding new audio lectures to it every month.
Live Monthly Webinars
Depending on the language(s) you speak you may easily receive 3 to 5 live webinars per month – every single month! They are an excellent opportunity to speak with the Senior and Master Coaches who lead them and ask questions. And you receive a different topic on every webinar – this is 50 topics in one calendar year (and no less than 36 during the duration of your course). – The best part is that you will continue having access to this wealth of training and information not only during training but also after you graduate – as part of the CPD support we provide for FREE to all our students with many of our courses.
During the webinars, there will be other students online and a chance for a questions and answers session at the end. If you cannot make the live call, don’t worry because all of the calls are recorded and archived, so there are hundreds of calls that you can access at any time you wish through our online member’s area.
Practical coaching
There are 60 hours of practical coaching to be done. This can be done with friends, relatives, colleagues etc if you wish to, it’s entirely up to you, as long as people know that you’re not a qualified coach and it’s all done free of charge. We’ll also put you in touch with study buddies. These are other students that are on the course. You can also find your own by using our e-group which is a special email system for all our students and coaches. With study buddies you can do reciprocal coaching where you’d coach them for an hour or so and they’d coach you back for an hour, just to build up your hours of coaching. Again, this can be done on Skype.
Written Work
There are 3 reflective essays to be done and 1 final written assignment.
Exam / Final Assessment of Coaching Skills
And when your mentor coach thinks you’re ready for it they’ll put you forward for a final practical skills assessment. This works exactly the same way as a mentor session but instead of giving you feedback at the end, you will be assessed on your performance.
Part 2 – Three Day Intensive Weekend
Enquire here: The Noble Manhattan Online Coach Training Experience
This is over a Friday, Saturday, and Sunday and is fully inclusive. You’re fully looked after from the moment you arrive. You will have your own double bedroom which is en-suite, all meals are included, refreshments, elevenses etc – We do this for a reason. We don’t want people to worry about the little things like the cost of a sandwich or a cup of coffee. We limit numbers on our residential course to about 25-30 students to about 6-8 trainers and staff. We limit numbers so people get the full benefits of the weekend.
The first day is taken by a Noble Manhattan master coach and is very fast-paced and upbeat. He’ll teach you various different coaching techniques and practices and in the afternoon you will go off in twos and threes to practice these techniques.
The second day is taken by a master practitioner in N.L.P. (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) trainer. That day is a lot deeper and slower-paced and the trainer goes into overcoming limiting beliefs, timelines, eye accessing techniques, etc.
The third day is taken by one experienced master coach and again is much more faster-paced with a lot of group exercises. You’ll learn a lot more coaching techniques and can really start to develop yourself as a coach.
You will really enjoy the residential experience and at the end of the weekend, you will find everyone switching telephone numbers and keeping in contact with people they got on really well with, as they can work with them for the rest of the course.
The “Residential” can be taken at anytime during the course, we do strongly advise that you have read the book and written the book critique, completed a 1/3 of the modules and listened to 4 teleclasses. We ask you to do this because if you haven’t read the book and learned some of the techniques then the first half a day would be quite unclear.
We run the residential weekend every 2-3 months in different locations around the world, so you can just choose which one is best for you.
NOTE: Currently the Coaching Experience Weekend is delivered ONLINE!
