This process will either:-

-
identify that there are certain ‘gaps’ in either knowledge or skills that may be addressed
through the completion of certain elements of the Practitioner Coach Diploma, (these to be
advised to the applicant together with cost implication) or
-
ascertain that the applicant would benefit substantially from completing the Practitioner Coach
Diploma prior to progressing onto the Block 2 studies.
This form is to be submitted together with the Course Application Form
Once both forms have been reviewed and knowledge base and coaching experience established you
