Learn the core skills of how to be an exceptional coach

Our Certificate in Coaching Foundations is designed for those who want to rapidly gain coaching skills in their personal life or career.

You’ll come away with an in-depth understanding of key coaching concepts and skills, build effective communication techniques to establish trust and rapport, and learn strategies to empower others to take self-directed action. Learn how to confidently coach and demonstrate empathy, active listening, non-judgment and curiosity when coaching others to success, either in your personal life or in a health or corporate setting.

This Certificate is right for you if…

 

  • You want to rapidly upskill in the foundations of coaching for use in your personal life or career,
  • You are a nurse, GP, pharmacist, personal trainer, physio, midwife or other allied health professional looking to incorporate coaching skills into a patient or client setting,
  • You want to become a PREKURE Certified Mental Health Coach (when combined with Advanced Mental Health Training).

Why learn coaching skills?

Help transform lives

Coaching enables us to help empower others to be the best they can be. As a coach you’ll be equipped with new ways of thinking, communicating and interacting to help others achieve sustainable, long-lasting outcomes.

Make more impact as a health practitioner

Often advice comes from a place of talking at others, telling them what to do or solving their problems for them. Using your coaching skills you will learn new ways of listening, building trust and asking powerful questions to empower others to become motivated, confident, self-reliant problem solvers.

Transform your life

Our learners are always amazed at the personal growth their new skills have in their personal lives, as they learn how to communicate more effectively and build better relationships. “It’s life changing… the personal growth journey has been insane. It blows my mind that a course can have such a massive impact in the best of ways. Thank you so much! Recommending to everyone!” Rebekah.
