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:)
I started off in the NHS in an area called health promotion, health education doing health behaviour change, projects, policy and campaigning work including what would now be called wellbeing at work work. I did lots of learning and development, managed teams and projects and got into HR and Organisational development from that working across sectors and ended up in an international law firm. I coached internally for about 6 years and then resigned to set up my own business. Been doing it ever since.
We all have very different paths to doing what we do, which I find fascinating. Good luck with your work and finding that coach training qualification you need and want. If you'd like to connect on Linked In I'd also be open to that. No pressure.
