Content Summary
Advanced Coaching builds upon the foundational knowledge developed at Level 4 and 5, equipping you with advanced understanding and applied skills in coaching.

You will engage in critical reflection to deepen your understanding of your coaching philosophy and identity, while applying inclusive, evidence-informed methodologies to enhance your coaching practice across diverse contexts. By working with real-world case studies, completing flexible online tasks, and engaging in reflective activities, you'll build a deeper understanding of how to adapt your coaching to meet the needs of both individuals and teams. This module helps you grow as a coach by building your skills in critical thinking, reflection, and teamwork.
