Professional Coaching Course

The Professional Coaching Course (PCC) is a year-long course that is designed to maximize learning and development in a coaching context.

How the course is organised

PCC is a course designed by one of the leading coaching schools in the US – New Ventures West (NVW). The course is an International Coach Federation (ICF) Accredited Coach Training Program (ACTP) and is being run in partnership by the Centre for Coaching at the UCT Graduate School of Business and NVW.

When they enrol on the PCC, delegates join a group of approximately 20 professionals who study, learn, and coach together for an entire year and quickly form a supportive learning community. The curriculum blends a rigorous course of study with hands-on practice and attention to participants' own individual development.

PCC is organised around four face-to-face sessions. Each session runs from a Thursday to a Sunday. Days run from 8:30 am to 6:30 pm with a long afternoon break. In between sessions, delegates read books from the "Coaches Bookshelf", complete written assignments, coach clients, and undertake their own individual development programme. As they engage in these activities, they draw upon the support of small learning groups called pods. Each pod works together. They also receive periodic coaching from the course faculty.

The PCC module dates for 2010 are:

Session I - 15 – 18 April 2010
Session II - 19 – 22 August 2010
