Executive Coaching Practice

The Certificate in Executive Coaching Practice is a dynamic, postgraduate programme designed to equip professionals with the skills, knowledge and confidence to become effective executive coaches. Ideal for managers, HR professionals, and aspiring coaches, the course blends theory with real-world application, enabling learners to lead coaching engagements that drive individual and organisational growth.

Participants develop a personalised coaching philosophy, explore evidence-based coaching models (such as GROW, AIM, and CASCADE), and learn how to design interventions that create meaningful, lasting change.

A strong focus on reflection, values, and feedback empowers learners to become self-aware, ethical coaches who foster trust and accountability.

The programme also addresses coaching in the context of change management, preparing participants to support others through transformation and complexity. Delivered through three integrated modules and assessed entirely through coursework, this NFQ Level 9 award provides a practical and academically rigorous foundation in executive coaching.

Graduates emerge with enhanced leadership presence, communication skills, and the ability to catalyse performance and resilience in others.
