I am thinking of training and qualifying as an executive coach and am currently looking at 2 options:
1.Henley Professional Certificate, which is accredited by the Association for Coaching, the European Mentoring and Coaching Council and the International Coach Federation (cost £6,250 online) or
2.ILM level 7 Executive Coaching Diploma through the British School of Coaching (cost £4,790 online).
My gut feel is that the Henley Certificate is more recognized within the HR community but I was wondering whether any of you have come across either or have any recommendations/thoughts on this?
Your feedback would be greatly appreciated:)
Like Keith. Recommendations not necessarily qualifications.
My wife was a coach for many years. No one ever asked if she was qualified all the work was by reputation and she never ever advertised either. All word of mouth. She was/is an excellent listener, a management trainer and had also spent a lot of time training and working for Relate.
Being a bit of a cynic I can't really see how you can qualify and become competent as either a coach or counsellor by doing something on-line, but perhaps there's an element of 1:1 in it?
