Basics of Life Coaching

This course will introduce you to what life coaching is about. You will learn techniques that will enable you to reassess yourself and redefine what success in life means to you. You will start the process of reassessing your life. You will identify clear goals and the obstacles to your achieving them. You will learn a range of psychological techniques and life skills that can be used to help you achieve your ambitions. A College Certificate will be awarded to recognise each students personal achievement.You will be taught by each week consisting of a particular psychological technique, or life skill covered by the subject of life coaching. In the class there will be practical exercises (either undertaken individually, in pairs, or in small groups) applying that week's topic knowledge and skills. Each week, where appropriate, course participants will apply the ideas and strategies they have learnt to aspects of their own lives using homework exercises. There will be some compulsory homework exercises that will be assessed merely to ensure that the course participants have understood the course topic and have been able to apply it to themselves. There will be no pass or fail criteria involved.
