Through experiential learning, you’ll challenge your outlook, as well as identify opportunities for you and your coaching clients to find more effective solutions and spark meaningful change.



About the course

  • Understand the strategic purposes of coaching and mentoring at an executive or senior level 
  • Analyse the knowledge, skills, behaviours and practices necessary for effective coaching or mentoring at an executive or senior level.
  • Plan, deliver and review own effective coaching or mentoring at an executive or senior level.
  • Learn why reflective learning is important for own professional practice.
  • Plan your own future professional development activities as a coach or mentor operating at an executive or senior level.

To get the most from the content, we ask you to fully commit to the process. You’re invited to actively engage in 7 half-day virtual workshops, alongside 3 observation and supervision groups.   

The ILM Level 7 Award in Executive Coaching and Mentoring demonstrates how you’re developing your coaching at an executive level. The assessment task lets you relate your learning directly to the experience within your organisation, asking you to combine theory with practise.   

You’ll create:  

  • 1 written assignment 
  • 1 Portfolio of Evidence which will demonstrate a minimum of 20 hours coaching practice and a Reflective Journal. 
  • You will learn in a highly practical and interactive learning environment, with ample opportunity to apply your learning. From the very start of the programme, you will have the opportunity to apply your knowledge within the classroom and with external coaching clients.
