The Oxford School - How we work

The Oxford School, previously the Oxford School of Coaching and Mentoring, is now in its 10th year of delivering qualification programmes. We provide a range of high quality, rigorous academic and practical qualifications at various accredited levels.

Our 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 therefore 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, learning 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.

We understand it is important for you to find the right organisation and approach for you; our award winning team is on hand to guide and support you through each step of your learning journey.
