How Can it Be Delivered?

If you don’t want to deliver the Coach Learning Programme as part of the Level 2 Certificate in Coaching qualification, there are two flexible options available:
  1. CPD Option: Offer it as individual modules or combine the entire programme, while allowing learners to build their knowledge and skills incrementally, much like assembling Lego blocks, to suit their specific needs and schedules.

  2. CPD with Assessment: Deliver it as a CPD programme with an additional assessment component to validate the learning outcomes. This learner journey can also be used to achieve in-house awards and meet CIMSPA’s Coach Professional Standard, providing a robust learning pathway for coaches.
