Coaching Professional
Level 5
A Coaching Professional Assessment Organisation is an approved company that is responsible for providing assessments for apprenticeships in this field. As an Assessment Organisation for Coaching Professionals, we will ensure that apprentices meet the required standards and competencies outlined in the relevant apprenticeship standards.
What the Role Entails
The broad purpose of the occupation is to work with a wide range of individuals and teams across organisations, to empower and engage with them to enhance their professional performance. Coaching is a way of leading in a non-directive manner, helping people to learn through deep listening and reflective, open questions rather than instructing, giving advice or making suggestions.
Coaching is a way of treating people, a way of thinking and a way of being which is seen as vital to supporting individuals and organisations in increasingly volatile and ever-changing environments. The underlying and ever present purpose of coaching is building the self-belief of others, regardless of the context, to be curious and self-aware, better equipping them to collaborate, innovate, deal with the increasing pace of change and get the best from increasingly diverse environments.
Components of the Coaching Professional Assessment
Knowledge Test
The Apprentice will have 90 minutes to complete 40 multiple-choice questions which will be made up of:
30 multiple-choice questions that have 4 options of which 1 will be correct.
10 multiple-choice questions which will be based on two given scenarios.
Interview supported by a portfolio of evidence
The interview must last for 60 minutes, and the independent assessor will ask a minimum of 6 open questions with follow up questions used to draw out further evidence if needed.
Apprentices are encouraged to refer to their portfolio of evidence during the interview to support their responses, however the portfolio underpins the interview and will not be directly assessed.
Observation with questions and answers
The observation should take 2 hours and 20 minutes. The observation may be split into discrete sections held over a maximum of 1 working day. The length of a working day is typically considered to be 7.5 hours.
The apprentice must be observed delivering a coaching sessions with an individual receiving the coaching.
The apprentice will be observed carrying out two, one hour-long coaching sessions with different individuals receiving the coaching, followed by a 20 minute question and answer session.
