Maybe you are a leader who wants to apply a coaching approach when leading his or her team?
There is an increasing number of team coaching classes on the market. In our experience, many classes are full of theory and make the topic more complicated than it needs to be. In our hands-on training, you will learn what to do, how to coach, which facilitation and coaching techniques are useful when. You will learn techniques for online coachings as well as for real-life coachings. The course is accredited with ICF as AATC and with EMCC as TCQA so that you will have two valuable certificate (EMCC ITCA and ICF ACTC) to show for your learning. On top of this, you will receive a social-media badge as "Certified SolutionsAcademy Team Coach".
In short:
SF Teamcoaching teaches “Solution Focused Team Coaching” an easy to use and easy to apply, yet structured, professional and evidence based approach. You will have the certainty that your coaching has a solid foundation. Your customers will have the certainty that you are a professional coach since the course is accredited with the International Coaching Federation as AATC and with EMCC as TCQA.
With our EMCC TCQA accreditation you can gain EMCC accreditation for team coaching on the practitioner level and the new ICF ACTC teamcoaching credential. It offers you the 60 hours of ICF approved training as AACT.
The class portion of the course runs for 13 weeks, 2 hours a week and is purely online, so very manageable. We start courses 2-3 times a year at different times of the day and days of the weeks, so there will surely be a course that fits your schedule.
There is lots of additional material available for your learning and you will be able to practice what you have learned in peer groups as well. The course officially has 150 hours (EMCC) and 60 hours (ICF). For ICF we can only do 50% of the course without a trainer, that explains the difference.
The course includes 4 hours of individual supervision required by EMCC for the ITCA accreditation and 10 hours supervision and guided reflective practice required by ICF (1 hour group supervision, 4 hours individual supervision and 5 hours guided reflective practice)
After the class, you have access to our business development mastermind groups for a significantly discounted price. We support you in gaining your required coaching experience hours by offering you access to our alumni community and by collaborating with organizations for pro-bono coaching. Also, there is continuous support by our regular meetups where you can ask anything that may come up in your practice. These meetups are completely free – so if you would like to join to get a feel for us, join us for one of the next ones.
You also receive a cool "SolutionsAcademy Certified Team Coach" badge for your social media presence right after the course! No need to wait to share the joy until after your ICF credential.
