Designed with professionals in mind, the Roehampton Coaching and Mentoring PGCert will help you anticipate and manage conflicts of interest and ethical dilemmas so that you can become a leader in your field.
By focusing on the role of responsible leadership, you’ll become a confident, agile, independent thinker, with the ability to adapt rapidly to change. You’ll learn:
- A repertoire of powerful techniques, such as incisive questioning; active listening; goal setting and effective feedback
- The ability to apply insights from the literature in the field
- The capacity to critically engage with the professional literature on coaching and mentoring
- Enhancing self-awareness because of psychometric testing, journal writing and peer coaching
These three strands will ensure that you are ready for the practical realities of coaching and mentoring in a wide range of sectors.
Learn in a stimulating environment
The course is delivered through interactive workshops at Roehampton, on weekday evenings and weekends. There will also be blended learning sessions and online forums.
The assessment has two components:
- A presentation on a specific aspect of coaching/mentoring and
- A short film of your practice as a coach/mentor with an accompanying commentary
The Roehampton School of Education is a progressive and inclusive community, putting you at the centre of your learning journey.
