Overview
What this program covers
Twelve weeks of supervised practice for coaches who already have foundations in place. The work is with complex clients: senior professionals, teams in conflict, people mid-transition with families and finances in the balance, and clients who say they want one thing while doing another.
Who it is for
- Coaches with a foundation program behind them and active clients
- Internal coaches in organizations working with senior stakeholders
- Mentors and consultants ready to move from advice-giving to coaching
Entry requirements
- Completed foundations-level coach training (ours or an equivalent program)
- At least 20 documented coaching hours, or two active clients
- Commitment to recording practice sessions for review
What you will be able to do
- Work confidently with senior clients who arrive with a finished narrative
- Challenge a client's thinking without losing the relationship
- Handle ethical complexity: multiple stakeholders, confidentiality, performance pressure

- Run group supervision and reflective practice for yourself and peers

Questions
Questions about Advanced practicum
Can I do this without the Foundations program?
Yes, if you have equivalent training and active client work. We review your background on the discovery call and will say honestly if the Foundations program is the better starting point for you.
How many practice hours does this count for?
The Practicum includes 36 hours of supervision and live practice. The plus-supervision option documents a further six months of monthly supervision for credential applications.
Will it work with my day job?
Participants do this alongside full-time work. It does demand a steady six to eight hours a week, mostly in evenings and one weekend morning a month.
