Diploma in Coaching and Mentoring

Coaching is rooted in developmental psychology and is commonly applied in organisational settings. Coaching is associated with team building, executive coaching, management coaching, life-skills coaching, career development and personal and professional development.
This second module develops what you have learned in the CBT module and applies cognitive techniques to the art of coaching. In the role of a coach, you will be able to help clients define aspirations, recognise patterned ways of relating, identify options, uncover rules and set new achievable goals that can help them grow and develop - and so become the person they want to be.

Mentoring is associated with positive personal and professional growth, career outcomes and development. This third module builds on what you have learned in Modules 1 and 2 and further develops your knowledge and skills to include the art of mentoring. You are now ready to learn the skills, techniques and in depth insights of mentoring. In the role of a mentor, you will contract and develop with your client a highly personal yet professional relationship that is creative, dynamic and intentional resulting in a positive outcome.
Mentoring enables the individual to develop a greater sense of fulfilment, role identification, internal authority and identity, that results in a greater level of competency and personal satisfaction.

The course materials consist of 20 lessons, 10 tutor marked assignments and a textbook. This is supplemented with suggested background reading.

If you successfully complete the Coaching & Mentoring modules you are eligible for the Institute’s Diploma in Coaching and Mentoring.
