Post Graduate Certificate in Personal and Business Coaching

It is never easy to select which course is the right one for you and when considering coaching courses this decision is made even harder due to the lack of an industry-wide validating body.

At Barefoot Coaching, we have taken every step to ensure that our courses are of the highest quality and provide a qualification that is most definitely worth the paper it is written on and which provides every student/delegate with a comprehensive understanding of the theoretical and practical aspects of business and personal coaching. To deliver this promise we:

• Work in small teaching groups
• Ensure over 150 face-to-face training hours – more than any other coaching course we know of
  Balance theoretical input with practical application
• Include supervised coaching sessions and in-depth feedback
  Ensure a sound understanding of a range of coaching methodologies
• Require extensive coach practice sessions from students
• Provide a programme of study which allows students to qualify in 6 months, dependent on completion of requisite coursework
• Focus on the personal growth of each individual
• Offer courses accredited by the University of Chester, a national leader in business and work-based post graduate courses
• Ensure excellent after-care for all students, including an invitation to join The Coaching Circle – an association of coaches, all of whom have completed the Barefoot course

Training to be a coach is a big investment in terms of time, money and energy and we understand that you need to be sure before committing to a course. The best way to find out is to come and experience it; meet other delegates on the course; experience the learning environment and have the opportunity to talk to the tutors. We would be delighted to welcome you, totally free of charge, to join us for a day on a Barefoot Coaching Course. To arrange this, simply give us a call and we will arrange a mutually convenient date.

Why should you choose a University Post Graduate Certificate in Coaching?

In 2001, we were inspired to design the Post Graduate Certificate in Personal and Business Coaching for the following reasons:

• There is a wide array of different Coach Training courses being offered in the marketplace and finding the right course can be difficult
• There is no one umbrella body regulating the profession of coaching and therefore if you are looking for a coaching qualification it can be difficult to assess the value of a self-certified course
• A University, Masters Level Post Graduate Certificate is an undeniable measure of professional and academic standards and whatever regulation takes place in future in the coaching world, a Post Graduate Certificate in Coaching will speak for itself in terms of quality
• Barefoot’s Post Graduate Certificate in Coaching carries 60 CAT points, which can be carried forward to other academic institutions
• Having completed the PGCert with Barefoot, delegates can progress to a full Masters (MA) in Coaching with the University of Chester.
