Your training pathway to team coaching mastery

The Art of Team Coaching

An ICF accredited, highly practical, experiential programme developed by team coach and industry expert, Georgina Woudstra MCC and her experienced faculty team

Notice During the Diploma you coach a real-life client team, enabling you to apply your learning and develop your skills and approach. You will need to find your own team to coach, however course colleagues and faculty will support and champion you in doing so.

"The course is packed with content that will satisfy the intellectual learner, and you are walked through the entire team coaching process, including understanding how to define and pitch your offer, how to design a Team Coaching programme, understanding options around team diagnostics and creating Team Charters, all framed in the latest thinking from team coaching experts... In short, it’s a great course, and anyone lucky enough to participate will certainly come away a better coach."

Prerequisites

Once you have completed The Certificate in Team Coaching, or an equivalent qualification with another training provider, then you are invited to join us for the TCS Art of Team Coaching Diploma.

Examples of equivalent qualifications include but aren’t limited to the AoEC Certificate in Systemic Team Coaching, or an equivalent 24 hour programme.

If you achieved your Certificate with another training provider or aren’t sure if our Diploma is the right next step for you, then contact Allard De Jong – senior faculty member – here to arrange a free 1 hour Zoom. During that conversation, Al will determine your level of knowledge, your aims, your budget and your time constraints. He will then help you design your own bespoke pathway towards becoming a master practitioner of team coaching.
