Our Approach to Coach-mentoring

The OCM programmes are consciously very rigorous and challenging to meet the highest possible standards. We advocate no single theoretical coaching model but encourage the serious development of a wide range of approaches to suit the variety of situations in which coaching and mentoring occurs. Our approach is essentially holistic and has been labeled as ‘Situational Coach-Mentoring’.

The programmes are very practice orientated with a strong theoretical underpinning. Our focus is on the highly practical and experiential ‘self-managed learning by doing’. You will work with volunteer ‘learners’ of your choice and undertake regular coach-mentoring sessions with your own personal, qualified and experienced coach-mentor who also acts as your supervisor, tutor and assessor.

The programmes also have the benefit of being a fully blended experience with significant access to Internet-based self-assessments, knowledge and skills modules and video-based Master Classes from internationally recognised experts. There are also several skills development workshops for interaction with fellow candidates.

However, it is a flexible experience and whilst you are guided through a structured programme you are able to undertake both study and practice at a time and pace that suits your personal circumstances.
