FAQ
We offer both face-to-face courses in The Hague (NL), and Online (synchronised) courses for people from all over the world.
Anyone who’s willing to gain the skills needed to use as a skilled helper, and possibly wish to become professional coach.
Anyone who is able to grasp the literature and participate in group discussions/exercises and who is interested in learning.
The students on the course tend to come from countries from all over the world and from different backgrounds, which makes this course ever so interesting.
No, no need for previous studies.
The course is built on existing talent and knowledge. Your life experience is a wonderful thing to start building on, combined with whatever education you have received.
Experience of previous studies will help you in studying the materials and getting organised.
As a main method, we’re focusing on the Person-Centred approach which is part of the humanistic approach. This approach strongly emphasises the believe that the client knows what is good for them, and our job as coaches is to empower them to discover their potential and act upon it.
We find this as the most effective way to help people.
To that we’re adding a large variety of tools and exercises from different working methods, so our students become all-rounded coaches who have the knowledge and skills to work with a diversity of clients.
This allows more choice, lets you become a more eclectic coach.
This course is a “hands on” course. It’s a very practical course.
This means that we mostly learn by doing and experiencing listening skills and coaching tools in order to become professional ourselves.
The theory, the exercises, the books and other study materials are very important as they support your knowledge and you can check if you can get a good understanding of it, but they’re to accompany your practical studies.
The good thing is of course that you can start learning by reading the theoretical books before you start.
If for whatever reason you’re really unable to read the theoretical books, gaining the theoretical knowledge can be done in other ways which we can advise you on if this is an issue (audio books or learning with peers for example are good ways).
At the end of the day, coaching is not about chanting theory, but about doing and being present for someone else.
This is not something you learn from books!
Oh yes.
If you follow our teaching and our guidance, you’ll be able to coach even right after Phase 1.
You’re in fact expected to coach during Phase 2.
At the end of Phase 2 we expect you to be a working coach in the community, and you should have enough clientele, have a starting practice, and if you wish, have your own website and be known as a respectful confident coach.
Isn’t that great?
