Certificate in Coaching (Credit rated at SCQF level 8) Reviews

I have learned many tools to coach my clients successfully and I enjoyed reading most of course materials

Course content good, but quite awkward accessing via lengthy PDF documents. Provision of on-line course material with more interactivity would have been preferable.

The content itself was excellent - a broad range of theories, well explained in manageable chunks. Reading list and references provided were helpful for further learning. The exercises relating to each theory were helpful in consolidating the learning and applying theory to practice. Having lessons broken down in to separate documents was also useful. One suggestion I'd make for refinement is guidance in relation to the TMA - between the student handbook and the assignment booklet, there are three separate guides on structuring the TA. I found this a bit overwhelming and confusing, not sure which to align with. Could a single, definitive guide be implemented? Being dyspraxic, getting to grips with all the supporting information was a bit overwhelming for me. Can I suggest a dyslexia-friendly formatted version of materials, or at least to have the ability to copy and paste from the PDFs supplied so neurodiverse learners can adapt the font, layout and style of the document to suit my learning needs? All in all, though, I enjoyed the course, found it very useful and am now considering the PGCert. at UWS. This course gave me the opportunity to re-engage with academic learning, so my confidence in my ability to study has returned. I deeply appreciate being able to pay the course fees over a few months - this was an enormous help. Many thanks.

This came just at the right time in my career and has helped develop my future

Well presented but pdf lockdown made copy and pasting of templates into assignment reports tricky

links up to date incorrect information - f.e. Case Study 9 referring to attack in New York, but with date 9th September - correct is 11th September the recommended literature is pretty old, I believe that there are better nowadays no references for webpage or articles for current role models in coaching area

Excellent. I feel more confident as a result of this course.
