Online training videos providing you with the knowledge to be a great coach. You can study these at your own pace and you will have an opportunity to discuss and practise them in the live sessions.

A suite of proven coaching tools and techniques to help you to bring to life your coaching knowledge and skills with individuals and teams.

Together with your cohort of other people-focused and passionate Procurement & Supply Chain professionals, you will bring your coaching skills to life by practising in small groups and building a collaborative network.

Once you begin your coaching practice outside of the live training sessions, you will be supported with coaching supervision sessions to help you to embed your coaching practice and support you in your professional growth as a coach. 

Once you have completed the online modules & live sessions, you will be granted access to bonus training modules and exercises that will help you and your team to embed these coaching skills into your everyday Procurement conversations with your stakeholders. These skills will help you to drive a collaborative culture and partnership with your stakeholders.

From the moment that you register on your course, and throughout the training and assessment to become a qualified coach, you will be supported every step of the way in your learning journey by your assigned personal tutor.

Included in your qualification investment is your membership to the Institute of Leadership for 6 months.

This is a globally recognised ILM coaching qualification and it will serve you wherever your career takes you next; even if you eventually move away from Procurement & Supply Chain. We have personalised the course and the P.R.O.C.U.R.E® coaching framework to Procurement & Supply Chain professionals so that they can learn from each other and create a collaborative environment for the benefit of the profession. However, our course is suitable for anyone who works as a business partner within their organisation and wants to develop their coaching skills. 

This course is designed for professionals who wish to develop their leadership skills with a coaching approach, coach on a 1:1 basis and drive a coaching culture within their team and organisation. It is also for consultants who want to incorporate coaching into their service offering. You can also take this course if you want to become a full-time coach. Regardless of how you choose to use the training, we offer in-depth training so that you can gain a deeper understanding of coaching and building collaborative relationships.

If you are passionate about helping and supporting others, personal development and making a difference, then that's a great start! To get the most out of the course, we ask that you come with an open mind and willingness to engage in the sessions as you will be practising your coaching skills with each other. 

No. This course will teach you how to be a great coach using the P.R.O.C.U.R.E® coaching framework created especially for Procurement & Supply Chain professionals. We will teach you how to develop coaching skills to coach on a 1:1 basis, build exceptional stakeholder engagement, develop your team and offer coaching as a service (either in-house or externally). This course will enable you to be more adaptable in your Procurement approach and unlock your full potential as a Procurement & Supply Chain professional.

This will differ depending on the level of qualification that you choose (click on the relevant course link below). The live sessions are scheduled to give you an experience of learning together within a group setting followed by an opportunity to integrate your skills into your work before the next live session takes place. Once you have attended all of the live sessions, you will then carry out your coaching practice and assignments at your own pace. You can expect to complete the whole qualification in 12-18 months. 

Unlike some other qualifications you may be familiar with, you are not required to complete all levels. You can select the level of qualification that is appropriate for your experience, without the previous level being a prerequisite. We recommend Level 5 for those who are working at a middle-management level and level 7 is more appropriate for those working at a senior management/leadership level. Please see the relevant qualification for further details. If you start at level 5, there are options to upgrade to level 7. Please speak with us to find out more. 

You will have access to all the course materials for 3 years from the date of your ILM registration. You will also gain membership to the Institute of Leadership for 6 months (this is included in your investment). You can complete the assignments at your own pace (although please be aware of the turnaround times for marking - your course trainer can offer you more information). 

Each level of qualification has 3 assignments, which you can complete at your own pace as you develop your coaching practice. Assignment 1 is based on the theory and application of coaching skills within an organisation. Once you have completed your coaching practice hours, assignment 2 will be your coaching diary. Assignment 3 is a reflective essay on your development as a coach. You will find more guidance on these assignments in the learning portal and you will also get plenty of support from your tutor.
