Business coaching and mentoring are not new.

But, as the way we work changes and organisations increasingly move away from command-and-control styles, they are becoming crucial skills.

Businesses are increasingly looking for leaders who can guide and support and unlock the potential in their teams rather than instruct.

The Business Coaching and Mentoring – ILM Recognised online course is perfect for those who want to provide coaching - and mentoring - for others.

The course draws on our 25 years of training experience and means you can access all the great stuff from our classroom from the comfort of your home, whenever you need it. You can start straight away.

This interactive training will give you a greater understanding of yourself as a coach and mentor. And put you in a better position to assess your skills and determine which areas you need to address.

Delivered by an experienced and well-respected business coach, you’ll learn how to adapt your behaviours, so coaching becomes part of the everyday.

We will show you the skills you need to focus on, the value of seeking out coaching moments, how to run a coaching session and how to build your bank of coaching questions.

And we will guide you through the vital methodology that underpins brilliant coaching.

Not only will you develop your skills, knowledge and confidence, but once you have completed the course you will have achieved the ILM recognised status aligned with global quality standards.
