These assignments are undertaken after the training days have finished and are completed within 6 months.
Assignment support
Many adult learners have not undertaken formal assignments or study for many years. We understand this and provide a high level of support, so that everyone gets through the challenging times and completes their assignments. The support includes:
- Template answer books to follow
- Full guidance on completion of assignments
- Example assignments to draw inspiration from
- Marking and reviews of assignments, prior to final submission to the ILM
- Detailed feedback on your coaching practice
- Unlimited tutorial support and mentoring through the process
Our approach
Coaching is a practical skill, with a theoretical basis. Our approach is that we practice the skill in the training room and study the theory outside of the training room.
This makes the training days highly focussed, active and practical, with opportunities to coach, be coached, receive feedback and work on coaching skills.
At the same time, we provide support to make sure the academic and study element is fully met, by providing resources, guidance and specific texts to study
Tutor team
The lead trainer for the Level 7 programme is Charlie Warshawski. He has been coaching since 2017 and delivering ILM qualifications since 2014. His own coaching practice is of over 1000 hours, and he focusses on coaching leaders in education.
