Daily Programme Structure

The CHTC ‘Coaching & Mentoring in Organisations’ programme leads to an ILM Level 5 Qualification in Effective Coaching and Mentoring, awarded by the Institute of Leadership & Management (ILM).

Once you’ve completed both modules, you’ll be registered with the ILM and can begin working towards your qualification. 

Depending on your career objectives and time commitment, you can choose from either:

• Certificate: A solid grounding in coaching and mentoring, focusing on core skills, models, and practical application within the workplace.
• Diploma: A deeper, more extensive qualification that builds on the Certificate, including a substantial amount of practical coaching, reflective practice, and strategies for embedding coaching into organisational culture.

Here’s what’s involved:

1. Written Assignment

You’ll complete a written assignment exploring the core principles, skills and practices of effective coaching and mentoring within the workplace. It helps particppants understand how coaching and mentoring support individual and organisational development, while also examining key models, ethical considerations, and the role of the coach or mentor in a professional setting.

2. Practical Experience

Based on the specific requirements your chosen qualification (Certificate or Diploma - details may be found below) you’ll undertake a number of coaching sessions with a number of clients.

3. 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.

4. Supervision and Support

Once your practice begins, you’ll take part in Group tutorials and 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.

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 .
