How it works
This training programme has been designed to meet the standards and outcomes of the PCI and the NHS England Workforce Development Framework for Health and Wellbeing Coaches.
It sits alongside and complements our other training courses, including Strength-Based Approaches and Peer Support Training, which have both been informed by NHS England’s Principles of Personalised Care.
Our Health Coaching Development Programme will specifically equip anyone who works with people on a one-to-one basis to develop their coaching skills and work with people more effectively to help them achieve their goals.
What attendees say
“The way the training was organised and the structure of the modules made learning enjoyable, it was conversational, and you met new people who could share their experiences and knowledge. It has built my confidence as a wellbeing coach.”
“I found the whole course incredibly useful and informative. I really enjoyed hearing people’s experiences with using some of the techniques explained.”
“What surprised me about the course was the extent to which listening to colleagues’ experiences and sharing stories around client work fostered a rich learning environment. Witnessing how each of us approached similar problems with diverse perspectives provided invaluable insights into the versatility of coaching practices.”
“Really valuable and enjoyable course. The trainer was great at engaging everyone in the group and making us all feel comfortable, which led to lots of participation. I already felt comfortable within my role but increasing my awareness in the topics has definitely increased my confidence.”
