 From
Alan Rogers Executive Director Management and Coaching Futures.
Our reputation is for short powerful courses
which enable people who are already highly effective in their
fields to train as coaches and acquire superb coaching skills
as managers.
 We
recently did a piece of research into why so many professional
people choose Coaching Futures as the organisation to train
with. Almost every one chose us because of the quality of
our teaching faculty. Most also felt that the highly practical
nature of the courses with their emphasis on applied skills
was a decisive factor.
There is now quite a range of choice
among companies and organisations offering training in coaching
skills. How do you tell the good from the bad? In addition
to the two major factors our research indicated, I would suggest
you need to look for a tutor/participant ratio of no more
than 1: 6 to ensure maximum attention and feedback and for
tutors who are currently successful coaches with full diaries.
Quality is the key and quality is what
we offer. The five-day intensive skills course can be a stand-alone
learning experience or it can be undertaken as Module 1 of
the Diploma in Coaching. Module 2 is described in detail on
page 5 and culminates in the postgraduate-level Diploma awarded
by the Institute of Leadership and Management.
 The
European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC), of which we
are members, now kite marks coaching courses and we have been
very involved in the process of evolving standards. The EMCC
is certainly a force for good, seeking as it does to raise
standards in coaching and giving assurance to commissioners
of coaching that members meet testing quality standards in
terms of training, supervision, and willingness to adhere
to a code of practice.
In this 2006 brochure you will find two
new offers of interest. The first is training for Team Coaching
- a skill more people require and need - and a two-day Masterclass
on Developing your Coaching Practice for alumni of the Diploma
in Coaching.
