The Award is delivered through a unique blend of work based learning and executive coaching that is tailored to the needs of each student. They are very demanding programmes but the rewards can be very high.
Students will define a set of objectives designed to have a real impact on their workplace and develop these into a work based learning project. The programme is then delivered using a combination of coaching, set readings, individually defined CPD, online learning and reflective reviews.Students are supported by their coach, focusing on achieving high levels of impact for themselves and their organisation, by applying their learning to the workplace and evaluating the results.
The online and work based learning elements of this programmes are delivered and accredited through ibp academy and the executive coaching element is delivered by Lesley Hunter.
