Course Description
This Quality Assured Level 3 Diploma course is designed for those who are considering becoming a career coach, working for yourself, or who are committed to coaching within their working environment or organisation. This field of work is fairly new, it has only been in operation for approximately 15 years, despite having historic origins that span more than a century.
The Career Coaching course will cover definitions, standards and models in career coaching as well as examining the core principles and concepts which enable the successful establishment of a client-coach collaborative and positive relationship.
The course consists of seven modules, each carrying their own tutor marked assignment. A final online examination will complete the course for the student.
Materials can be studied online or students have the option to print the documents once, there is also the option to have the materials delivered for an additional charge.

No previous knowledge required
Support
This course provides full 12 months tutor support. Tutors are available to answer student questions relating to course materials and to comment on the assignments that are sent in to state how well students have understood the unit content.
Assessment
Final online multiple choice examination counts for 100% of the final grade. Throughout the course there are ten SAPs (coursework) and a thesis. The course clearly states that this is not mandatory to complete as it has no bearing on the final grade. We do suggest that students complete these as this will not only assist them in examination preparation but also will give the student the skill set should they wish to continue their studies (continuous professional development) at a higher level.
