Program summary
Here’s how the program breaks down.
Program design
Our coaching programs incorporate task-based learning based on each learner’s personal and professional goals. We assess language and communications proficiency ahead of the course and then work on overall program design in consultation with the learner and coach.
All sessions are hosted by the same coach via our online, face-to-face virtual classroom, giving your learners all the benefits of a personal coaching relationship together with the flexibility of online scheduling and participation.
Learning materials
Coaching materials can include business case studies, managerial mind-maps, and business process frameworks, supplemented by your own documents, such as company or product presentations.
Duration
We recommend a minimum of 10 x 60-minute coaching sessions and can accommodate ongoing programs with open-ended coaching relationships.
Scheduling
Executives can work directly with their coach via our online platform to build their program around busy work calendars and reschedule sessions up to six hours in advance.
Testing
Spoken and written task simulations can be incorporated into the coaching sessions to assess progress during and at the end of the program.
Language requirement
A prerequisite for this course is a B1 Common European Framework (CEF) level or higher.
