It is ideal for those leaders wishing to enhance the skills and confidence of their team members, leading to enhanced efficiency, effectiveness and motivation. The Skills Bootcamp blends relevant theory, latest research and significant opportunities to practise skills in a safe and supportive environment.

The course covers core Coaching and Mentoring theory, with a focus on application and skills development.

Learners will explore the appropriateness of Coaching and Mentoring as development activities, ensuring compliance with ethical standards. Participants have significant opportunities to apply tools and techniques within the course, encouraging personal insight, reflective practice and peer support. Practical application is supported through work based assignments and personalised feedback

By attending the Skills Bootcamp in Coaching and Mentoring, learners will:

· Build knowledge of Coaching and Mentoring techniques and how these can be applied in a workplace context.

· Develop key coaching skills, such as active listening, insightful questioning, and effective goal setting

· Gain confidence to provide effective coaching and mentoring through supported peer coaching sessions.

· Enhance the skills and confidence of colleagues through your coaching and mentoring

· Learn from real-world scenarios and peer collaboration and benefit from ‘live’ engagement sessions with coaches and mentors from a range of local progressive organisations.

Assessment is completed through three work-based assignments, which includes a coaching diary and the recording of a minimum of 6 hours’ workplace coaching. Although this course does include supported time for individual project work, this course also requires some self-directed study outside of the scheduled sessions.
