The Staffordshire Training Hub are funding limited places on the PCI accredited Four-Day Health Coaching course delivered by Peak Health Coaching at a cost of £1,380.00 per place.
This course is fully accredited by the NHS Personalised Care Institute (PCI) and participants can be confident they will be trained to the highest standards by experienced health coaching professionals. By the end of the four-day course you will have been trained to Level three in Health and Wellbeing Coaching and you will receive Level one accreditation and certification of the PCI Curriculum.
Action Learning Sets
You will be set up in small groups with fellow participants, from day one, to practice your coaching skills, share learning and develop as practitioners. There is an expectation that you will take time to meet in your groups, between the training days, with many groups continuing to work together and support each other well after the course has finished. These will be your Action Learning Sets. The intention for these groups, which has been confirmed from feedback, is that they provide a safe and confidential space for you to share your progress, successes and challenges and receive the support and insights from your colleagues.
Continued Support
At the end of the four-day course, participants are automatically enrolled on to the Practitioner Certificate course in Health and Wellbeing Coaching. Successful completion of the certificate leads to verification of Personalised Care Institute Level 1 achievement and is equivalent to NHSE Tier 1 Health Coach status. A 12-month UKIHCA Practitioner Membership subscription is included on successful application.
Open to:
Health and Wellbeing coaches only. Participants must be available to attend all four dates.
