Book and Book Critique
2 Books and Critiques
The Complete Guide to Coaching at Work by Perry Zeus and Suzanne Skiffington

The book critique is your thoughts down on a couple of sheets of A4 and there’s 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 about punctuation, spelling etc. etc.
Study Modules
There are 4 study modules to cover. Each module contains a number of practical exercises, designed to deepen and integrate your learning.
1. Executive Coaching
2. Team Coaching
3. Leadership
4. Organizational Culture and Managing Change
Written Work
2 Assignments – You must also complete 2 written assignments based on 2 different module topics. Each assignment must be between 3000-3500 words and is entirely your choice as to which 2 modules you base your written assignments on. Assignment options can be found at the end of each module.
Mentor coach
Mentoring and Feedback (4 x 1 hour sessions) These are primarily to help you prepare you for the skills assessment at the end of the course. You will be familiar with all the basic coaching skills, and the mentoring is intended to develop these to a more advanced level in the context of the workplace.
Your corporate mentor coach will act as your client (for some of the time) during mentoring sessions to support you in continuing to develop your coaching skills for the business and corporate environment. You will coach your mentor (in the role of client) and they will give you feedback on how you are making progress
Receive Supervision
Supervision (4 x ½ hour sessions) with a specialist supervisor coach.
As part of the Advanced Diploma programme you are provided with telephone/Skype-based supervision with a specialist supervisor coach. You will have four sessions of 30 min each. This aims to develop a working relationship which promotes your professional growth as a coach – with the supervisor’s role being to reflect back to you where they perceive possible or actual unconscious processes or where your professional approach can be strengthened.
Practical coaching + skills assessment
There’s 35 hours of logged practical coaching to be done. This needs to be done with business or corporate clients.
And when your mentor coach thinks you’re ready for it they’ll put you forward for a final practical skills assessment. Thinks 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.
Teleclasses
There are 12 teleclasses to be done. The teleclasses are mini lectures over the telephone on subjects relating to your course work that tie in with the modules you are working through in your course material.
