FOUNDATION COURSE:
CHILD AND ADOLESCENT COACHING (F-CA)
ABOUT THIS COURSE
This Accredited Short Training Course consists of the two individual Foundation programs and is a key module of the Child and Adolescent Coaching Certificate and Diploma courses. It may be taken independently as stand-alone training by teachers, parents and others in support of their work with children and adolescents. Please note that, on its own, it would not qualify you as a coach.
On successful completion of this course, you will have a basic coaching toolkit to support children (4-11 years old) and adolescents (11-18 years old) both within and outside of a school setting. As part of your training, you will learn about:
‘Coaching Basics’ – core qualities, skills and basic tools needed to safely and effectively coach children and adolescents.
‘Coaching Ethics’ – the difference between counselling, mentoring and coaching; when coaching is and isn’t appropriate; how to refer clients to other support services when coaching is not appropriate and the importance of child protection, safeguarding and confidentiality.
The developing brain – how it might impact the performance, mental health and wellbeing of children and young people.
How to deliver ‘The Other Subject’ – a collection of ground-breaking and accredited coaching programs that help children and adolescents thrive physically, mentally, emotionally and academically.

THE OTHER SUBJECT
A core component of this course is training to deliver a collection of ground-breaking and accredited coaching programs that help children and adolescents thrive physically, mentally, emotionally and academically (The OS Programs). The programs have been primarily created for delivery in schools but can also be delivered outside of schools. After completing The OS Programs, participants receive a formal certificate to acknowledge the valuable coaching and life-skills that they have learnt and acquired. They may then use this to enhance and strengthen their personal profile/CV.
Each program uses tried and tested coaching tools and techniques. These tools and techniques are also blended with neuroscience, cognitive behavioural science, positive psychology, mindfulness and resilience-based methodologies to make them truly integrative and impactful programs.
There are eight programs carefully crafted for every year of school from Reception (4-5 years old) to Year 13 (17-18 years old). Each program is based on one of the following colour-coded modules, representing a key area for maturation and development in children and young people:
Module 1 | Module 2 | Module 3 | Module 4 | Module 5 | Module 6 | Module 7 | Module 8 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Focus and awareness | Relationship with myself | Relationship with others | Communication | Resilience | Future planning | Accomplishment | Endings |
All of the programs are flexible and adaptable. They can be used as a lesson, workshop, talk or assembly – alternatively they can be used to support children or adolescents one-to-one or in small groups inside or outside of a school setting. They can also be shortened and delivered in one session or expanded and delivered over a few weeks when there is the time to do this.
