Daily Programme Structure

This programme leads to a CMI Level 5 Award in Professional Team Coaching, a 10-credit qualification awarded by the Chartered Management Institute (CMI).

Once you’ve completed the training modules, you’ll work towards meeting the unit learning outcomes to attain your qualification.

Here’s what’s involved:

1. Written Assignment

You’ll submit a written assignment (3,500–4,000 words) that explores the Professional team coaching. This enables you to demonstrate your understanding of team coaching theories, approaches and dynamics, providing a strong foundation for applied practice.

2. Practical Experience

You’ll be required to plan and deliver three team coaching sessions, supported by:

• Three team coaching plans
• Three delivered sessions (including one recorded)
• A session summary report

This element provides practical evidence of your ability to design and lead structured, goal-oriented team coaching sessions in a professional setting.

3. Reflection and Professional Development

To complete the qualification, you’ll reflect on your practice and produce a range of developmental outputs, including:

• A reflection on your own team coaching activity
• A Personal Development Plan (PDP)
• A summary of your supervision sessions
• A plan to support the team beyond the coaching engagement

This process encourages deep learning and supports your continued growth as a team coach.

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.
