Strong Foundation Academy of Coaching

The certificate course (SFCC) serves as the foundation for the Diploma course, and will transform the being of the coach through learning of foundational and core coaching components and application of learning through self coaching.
The Diploma in Coaching (SFDC), will build further skills to equip the practitioner coach as they start their own coaching business in specific niche areas – Business coaching, team coaching, life coaching etc.
Supervision plays a very important role in the continued development of coaches and ensures that a set standard of excellence and accountability is maintained in the coaching profession. Professional coaching and supervision sessions is foundational in both the SFCC and SFDC.
