(Virtual) AC Accredited Coaching Diploma Programme
The Programme
This AC accredited programme will be delivered in a practical, interactive and (we hope!) enjoyable way. It is a rigorous, exciting and affordable programme with depth and substance to equip great coaches. We take the view that people are whole beings. We will work at multiple levels to give you the training and development to your existing skills with excellent coaching standards and practice.
The programme is led by Marie Faire, co-founder of The Beyond Partnership. Marie has been a consultant, coach, conference speaker, facilitator and trainer for over thirty years, working with private, public and voluntary organisations.
Marie is an accredited Master Executive Coach (MEC) with the Association for Coaching (AC) and an Accredited Coaching Supervisor with AC. She is also AC Supervision Accreditation Assessment Lead. Marie is the lead on our AC recognised Coaching Supervisor Training Programme.
Marie is highly experienced in training coaches and coaching supervisors. The programme meets the AC qualification requirements to become an Accredited Coach (subject to other requirements being met – client hours, CPD etc.). In addition to the online modules there will be requirements for client practice, peer practice, supervision, written work and reading .
