Overview

The Master of Business Coaching has been designed to appeal to a broad range of people interested in business coaching including: those already working as business coaches without formal qualifications, internal business coaches working within companies, those working as individual or executive coaches who wish to strengthen their business understanding, consultants or counsellors who wish to develop their coaching skills, people undertaking a change of career, and managers who wish to develop coaching skills as part of their management approach.

The focus of both the Master and Graduate Certificate is to apply coaching methodologies to business contexts and develop skills such as effective questioning, listening, goal setting and giving feedback.
