Professional Development Foundation/Middlesex University

The Professional Development Foundation offers specialist programmes for coaches wishing to develop their practice. These have been designed for the professional coach and cover the development needs of those for whom coaching is a significant part of their role (e.g. HR professionals) and for those wishing to develop their practice as professional coaches in organisations or in private practice. Our programmes lead to either EMCC or WABC and University accreditation.

We have three EQA programmes. All are part of a validated academic programme with Middlesex University, UK.

Practitioner Postgraduate Certificate Programme (EMCC Quality Award Accredited Practitioner Level)

This programme provides coaches who have been working professionally for at least two years (either as internal or external coaches) with a credential, which identifies and acknowledges their experience and skills whilst also providing a challenging and appropriate development programme. As part of the programme coaches undertake a practice-based project.

Master Coach Designate (EMCC Quality Award Accredited Master’s Level)

This programme ideally suits the senior external or internal coach working with a broad spectrum of clients in a variety of contexts. It provides a route for the acknowledgement of their Master Coach status gained through their significant experience as a professional coach, whilst also providing a challenging development programme.

Master’s Degree Programme in Coaching (EMCC Quality Award Accredited Master’s Level)

This work-based Master’s degree has been developed to provide a flexible learning experience for busy professional coaches, underpinned by best practice and research in learning and development, whilst maintaining the highest academic standards. It is not an introductory course but one that draws extensively from the coaches’ own practice.
