COACHING & MENTORING
For Business Professionals
Level 6


Are you a ‘people’ person?
People skills are perfect for a career in Coaching and Mentoring.
Become a forward-thinking boss
Train your staff – help them to help you.
When asked, most staff do not understand how their role directly affects the growth of the company.
Many staff said they felt invisible within the organisation and didn’t feel they directly contributed to profit generation.
Nearly all staff said, if they were coached to perform better in their roles and understood how they contributed to profit, they would be more engaged in their roles and feel more valued by the organisation.

Career Path
Assessment
The participant will produce a comprehensive portfolio of work from the programme of learning. There are two or three assessed tasks per module that include written work to provide evidence of knowledge and understanding, along with practical tasks to demonstrate learning that has taken place and how the participant applied that learning.
The portfolio must contain all the evidence produced during the period of study, so it demonstrates achievement of the learning outcomes, at the standards provided by the assessment criteria given in each module. The learning outcomes and assessment criteria specify what the participant has to achieve, and the evidence provided in the portfolio will show how this has been undertaken.
The contents of the portfolio will be assessed, and the evidence contained in the portfolio will form the basis for the award of the qualification. The participant can retain the portfolio for future reference and to support further development.
The participant will also need to participate in observed/recorded and assessed practice or a professional discussion, in a real work environment. These observations, recordings or professional discussions will demonstrate the application of the learning and competence in the coaching and/or mentoring role.
