Aspire Coaching Training
is led by Ailbhe Harrington, MA, MCC, who has trained over 400 coaches on ICF-accredited programmes since 2009.
With the support of an experienced team of professional coaches and coaching mentors, we bring an updated and fresh approach to coach training.
Our programmes are ideal for anyone looking to embark on a new career as a professional coach or those who want to bring coaching or a coaching approach into their current organisation or professional roles.
LEVEL ONE FOUNDATION IN COACHING
We are now taking enrollments for our Level 1 foundation programme which will run twice in 2023 with one cohort starting in February 2023 and another in September 2023.
Who completes this training?
As you will see from our testimonials below, the Level 1 Foundation in Professional Coaching Skills attracts a wide range of people who are committed to learning and growing.
Some want to be more effective leaders and champion the development of a coaching culture in their organisations, while others want to work as an internal coach in addition to their professional role. Others have stepped away from organisational life or plan to in the future and wish to set up their own coaching business with training or consultancy and finally some complete the programme as a learning journey for themselves.
