Daily Programme Structure

Assignments & Assesment

Once you’ve completed the taught module, you are automatically registered with the ILM and can begin working towards your qualification. 

You will have access to resources from both the ILM and from the ChTC Advantage LMS and this is where assignments are submitted to us for marking.  See the LMS tab for full details.

Here’s what’s involved:

1. Written Assignments

You’ll initially complete two written assignments:

• One exploring best practice in organisational coaching

• One exploring best practice in organisational mentoring

2. Choose Your Pathway

Next, you’ll decide on your development focus — coach or mentor. This is an essential step, as your practical and reflective work will centre around this choice.

3. Practical Experience

Based on your chosen pathway, you’ll undertake a minimum of 12 hours of coaching or mentoring practice, working with no more than two clients.

4. Reflective Journal and CPD Plan

To complete your qualification, you’ll submit a reflective journal and a Continuing Professional Development (CPD) plan, capturing your learning and growth as a coach or mentor.

5. Supervision and Support (see relevent tabs for further details)

We provide group tutorial support sessions to help you successfully complete the assessment and assignment components of your qualification.

Once your practice begins, you’ll take part in 2 hours of coach/mentor supervision to support your development.

Understanding Assessment Criteria (ACs)

Each assessed piece of work, including written assignments, is structured around Assessment Criteria (ACs). These criteria break down the required knowledge, understanding, and evidence needed to meet the qualification standards. Full guidance on how to meet each AC is provided both within the course content and on the Learning Management System (LMS), helping you understand what’s expected and how to structure your responses effectively.

Some of our programs offer the same live training to both in-person and virtual participants, ensuring a cohesive and integrated learning experience for all. As we develop our skills in various co-coaching sessions, in-person attendees will have the unique opportunity to coach both online and face-to-face, bridging the gap between traditional and digital environments. This dual-mode coaching experience is invaluable in today's world, where the ability to navigate and excel in both physical and virtual spaces is increasingly essential. By mastering the art of hybrid coaching, you’ll gain practical skills that are not only relevant but critical for thriving in a rapidly evolving professional landscape.

Blended

This flexible learning model allows you to tailor your educational experience to seamlessly fit your lifestyle, offering the best of both in-person and remote participation. With the blended approach, you have the freedom to attend sessions on campus when you can, enjoying face-to-face interactions and hands-on experiences, while also having the option to join remotely whenever needed. This adaptability ensures that your learning remains consistent and uninterrupted, regardless of your location or schedule. Whether you’re balancing work, travel, or other commitments, the blended model empowers you to stay engaged and fully participate in your education on your terms.

ChTC CPD is the trust mark we add to our training to demonstrate the high value of a learning experience for our participants.

CPD is the ongoing process through which professionals maintain and enhance their knowledge, skills, and competencies throughout their careers. Whilst CPD is mandatory only in some industries such as finance, healthcare, law and others, continuous learning on and for work is part of the natural competence development process for all individuals engaged in any professional activity.

It is not about the validity of our professional knowledge; instead, it focuses on our ability to deliver training that enables our participants to achieve their professional goals, but these rely on them being added .
