Overview

The Development Coach Award is for independent coaches who will prepare for, and deliver, a structured progression in 'climber centred coaching' over a series of sessions. Often working with Foundation Coaches, the Development Coach is able to take a mentoring role, and lead in the review process to promote reflective coaching practice. This syllabus builds on the competencies of the Foundation Coach.
