Organisational Coaching Level 1 Certification
About Organisational Coaching Level 1 Certification
The IECL Organisational Coaching Level 1 Certification course teaches you the essential foundational skills of organisational coaching including the tools, techniques and understanding of how to conduct high performance coaching sessions that get results. This course builds functional capability and is the starting point for all coach education at IECL. Once completed, you can choose to go broader or deeper in your continuing development; this course is step one for those seeking International Coaching Federation (ICF) credentials AND for those interested in IECL Accreditation and Charles Sturt University (CSU) pathways. Suitable for coaches, leaders and anyone looking to add coaching to their toolkit.
From August 2023 you will be provided with this digital badge which can be validated, recognised and shared on social media platforms.
Duration
This course includes an intensive three day live workshop, supported by pre-and-post online learning (done at your own pace within a set period). That work is made up of asynchronous readings, videos, online discussions, post workshop practice groups, and a reflective essay. The entire course runs over a seven week period, and requires a total commitment of 44 hours ( 21 in the live workshop, and 23 in the pre-and-post workshop period; allow around three hours per week, in your own time).
On completion of Level 1 Certification you will be able to:
- Describe and explain organisational coaching and the context within which it sits
- Apply IECL Level 1 coaching foundations to your practice including:
- cultivate a coaching mindset
- take a whole systems approach to working within an organisational system
- build a coaching relationship
- ask coaching questions and structure a coaching conversation
- Demonstrate the core competencies of a coach through coaching practice and observation.
- Consolidate learning and continue your development as a coach through reflection and application.
Successful completion of all course requirements leads to IECL Organisational Coaching Level 1 Certification, and if you are an IECL Member, use of the post-nominal CIECL.
Once you are certified at Level 1 you can start coaching right away, and we recommend that you do that, gaining as much practice as you can. You may also choose to continue on the path to deepening your knowledge through Level 1 Accreditation, and beyond to ICF credentials, or to broaden your coaching knowledge through Level 2 Certification, where you will learn more about the relational aspects of organisational coaching.
IECL courses are delivered through a hybrid model, including online discussion forums in a social learning community, and synchronous experiential workshops, which you can attend in person in some locations, or virtually from the comfort of your own home or office. This allows you the flexibility to choose the timing and learning option best suited to your needs.
