The Aims of the Qualification
The overarching aim of the qualification is to develop knowledge, understanding and skill in coaching and mentoring, so these techniques can be used effectively in and across organisations operating in the fields of business and education. The qualification will establish the connection between coaching, mentoring and the achievement of personal and organisational goals. It will provide the opportunity for learners to develop knowledge and understanding in both mentoring and coaching techniques.
In addition, the units will provide opportunities for application of the learning leading to improved performance in the role of coach and mentor and the work with individuals in either a business context or an education/training context. These opportunities can be applied to staff working at different levels in the organisations. This will facilitate embedding of improved practice leading to higher levels of personal development from those being coached or mentored and subsequently higher achievement of business goals and institutional success. This can lead to the development of an institutional culture of coaching and mentoring.
This qualification is therefore designed to provide:
- opportunities for learners to develop a breadth of knowledge and understanding of subject matter related to the role of coach and mentor
