Overview
The WorldSkills Academy at City of Glasgow College runs a Developing Skills for a Coaching Culture programme which has recently been pivoted to online delivery.
This programme has been designed to provide coaching development for staff supporting learners in a tertiary setting. As well as developing a practical understanding of coaching skills, learners will be able to actively contribute to shaping the embedding of the coaching culture within their own learning context. It will also be an opportunity for learners to increase their emotional intelligence and self-reflect on how they embed the skills in their everyday interactions.
It is also an opportunity for staff to network, develop and build collaborative relationships.
As part of the programme, you will have the opportunity to gain the Coaching Skills Accreditation. Aligned with GTCS professional standards, this is accredited through City of Glasgow College and Social Enterprise Academy credit rated at SCQF Level 9, carrying 6 credit points.
