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:

Full guidance on completion of assignments

• Template answer books to follow
• 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
