The Coaching Professional Level 5 Apprenticeship provides comprehensive training in coaching principles, models, and techniques. You will develop essential skills in communication, emotional intelligence, goal setting, and leadership, enabling you to coach individuals and teams across business, sports, and personal development contexts.
This programme equips you to establish and manage coaching relationships, apply varied coaching methods, and evaluate coaching effectiveness. You’ll learn to support clients in achieving goals, manage your coaching practice independently, and commit to continuous professional development.

Assessment
To achieve the qualification, which can be awarded as Pass, Distinction, or Fail, you will be assessed continuously throughout your apprenticeship and in the final stage through an assessment.
The Apprenticeship Assessment will only commence once the employer confirms that the apprentice is consistently performing at or above the occupational standard. The assessment process, which typically takes around 3 months, consists of three components:
Observation with Questioning: An assessor will observe you performing your day-to-day tasks in the workplace and ask questions about the processes you follow and actions you take.
Portfolio-based Interview: A 60-minute interview based on the portfolio you have compiled throughout the apprenticeship.
Knowledge Test: A multiple-choice examination covering key knowledge areas.
The combined results from these three components will determine your final apprenticeship grade.
