COACHING AS A LEADERSHIP SKILL
At The BCA, we do not see coaching as a technique, as something that you switch on and off in certain situations like a performance review or when giving feedback. We see coaching as a fundamental shift in the way we communicate, both with ourselves and with others.
We offer practical courses and masterclasses for individuals and companies, bringing coaching to life for leaders in the real world of business. Delivered by our team of world class business coaches, they bring knowledge & expertise from working with business challenges on a daily basis in some of the world's most successful companies.
If you are looking to achieve a professional coaching credential our award-winning Business Coaching Programme is for you. Three 2-day intensive training courses and a range of off programme activity leads to The Worldwide Association of Business Coaches (WABC™) Registered Corporate Coach (RCC™) Status.
For companies who may not require formal coaching accreditation for their leaders, but would nevertheless like to develop coaching skills or create a coaching culture within their organisation, we offer a bespoke in-house pathway which can include a selection of masterclasses, including Building Resilience & Confidence, Creating Empowering Relationships, The Art of Team Coaching and Coaching the C-Suite.
Whichever pathway is best for you, everything starts with Foundations, our ILM endorsed business coaching training course. Available via open programmes, in-house courses , or even 1:1 personal tuition, we can deliver a course in a way that is best for you or your organisation.

SENIOR PLANNING MANAGER, - MARKETING & DIGITAL, AVIS BUDGET GROUP
The Business Coaching Academy more than met my expectations. I have grown as a person and as a leader through this experience and have much more confidence in the value I can add. The combination of class room face to face learning, role plays, building of coaching hours, theory and assignments was a very powerful learning experience.
CONSULTANT & BUSINESS COACH
Working through the three levels of coaching training with The Business Coaching Academy and the requirements outside of the actual training days has been a rewarding and fantastic opportunity. In some ways it has been life changing as I have not just learnt to coach with impact but it has been a catalyst for making changes in my way of working in other areas of my professional life. This culminated in winning an Award at the end of 2015 which confirmed to me the steps forward I had made and the impact I was having.

SENIOR TEAM LEADER, BE FUELCARDS
I found the practical sessions very useful in being able to experiment with putting the theory into practice and it was helpful that these sessions were with people that didn't know me, as there was a more objective analysis of my ability, which was helpful when I was given feedback.
