Academic Programmes Overview

For individuals wanting to become coaches, the Centre offers an 18-month programme that is made up of three courses targeted at different levels: Coaching to Excellence(2-days); Associate Coaching Course (six months); and Professional Coaching Course (one year).

Each course can be completed separately and offers a stand-alone qualification, but they are designed to work together as a unit over an 18 month period with ‘soak in’ time between each programme to allow information to be absorbed and practiced.

The Centre for Coaching has also recently introduced the Coaching Mastery School – which offers the continent’s most senior coaching qualification.

The programmes together address the following training needs:

• Businesses wishing to extend the coaching competencies of their management and leadership teams;
• Professionals wanting to focus on coaching as their core line of business and require training and accreditation; and
• Students of the GSB who are interested in the addition of coaching to their ongoing education.
• Because all courses are certified by the ICF, they can also be used as part of the requirements towards becoming an ICF certified coach. For more information on ICT certification click here.

The Centre for Coaching also offers a stand-alone five day course Strategic Leadership Through Coaching offered in partnership with the UCT Graduate School of Business Executive Education arm. The course fuses three disciplines – leadership, one-on-one coaching and strategy – creating an innovative learning mix that can help delegates to reach deeper levels of self knowledge and understand and improve their contribution towards leading strategic change within their organisations.
