Coaching for Education Programmes

What is the Coaching for Education Programme?


Coaching is a vital but often overlooked, value building, skill for leaders. Coaching promotes learning and builds the capacity for change in schools as teachers learn with and from one another.


Learning involves teaching and sharing knowledge by doing things together with others, however, we are also required to empower our classroom to become independent learners.

Coaching for Education is a great programme for inspiring teachers, trainers and tutors working in schools, academies, further education, adult and community learning or work-based training. Designed to meet the needs of the individual learner, the teacher, support staff and your school or college.

Our Programme

The Coaching for Education Programme covers three distinctive areas:

Learner Mentor is designed to support learners who experience difficulties with their learning. Mentors work closely with individuals who are struggling with social, emotional or behavioural problems that affect their ability to learn.

Classroom Coach is designed to develop coaching skills involving communication techniques to actively listen, provide feedback and to engage and motivate learners in planning their individualised learning programme. These skills are integral to assessing learners’ knowledge and competence in the classroom.

Teacher Coach is designed to support Recently Qualified Teachers (RQT), Newly Qualified (NQT) and returning experienced Teaching Practitioners who request or require professional development.

Accredited Qualifications

Upon completion of the programme the Student Teacher / Learner will achieve the following, either;
