What Our Graduates Say about the Coach House Certificate
Graduates Testimonials
What was your biggest learning on the Coach House Certificate?
That I don’t have to be an expert in my coachee’s business or field in order to add value as their coach.
That by the end I would have the confidence to call myself a coach! I went into the course with the belief that I was a strong manager and I was fascinated to learn what coaching was all about but if I am honest, I wasn’t certain if I was going to take it as far as I now want to. I am sure there is some forward momentum that I have created for myself but my conversations as a coach, my conversations with my fellow coachees and my interactions with Helen have given me a sense of self belief that I wasn’t fully anticipating. Being a coach makes me feel great and I truly want to get the best outcome for my clients.
Formulating enabling questions without prejudice
What would you say to someone who is wondering whether to join the coach house certificate programme?
If you want to complete a professional coaching qualification, accredited by the AC, which is delivered by top quality experts – all in a six month period – this is for you!
The course provides an excellent foundation in the tools and techniques of coaching theory and it is run in a safe and inclusive style that creates a supportive and mutually beneficial learning environment. I would definitely recommend it!
It’s time out that is worthwhile personally for dedicated individual learning time; professionally for reflection and oneself, ones approach and ones ability to develop techniques to support, enable and develop colleagues; and overall acquisition of a new skill to share and hone in the name of support and encouragement for others
