The Foundation

The starting point for every
serious coaching journey.

The Leader as Coach Certificate is Level 01 of the Sandown Business School coaching pathway. It is designed for professionals who lead people and want to develop a coaching capability that is grounded in neuroscience, psychology and genuine self-awareness.

Over 45 contact hours across 4 months, you will develop the foundations of a coaching approach that is entirely your own. Not a borrowed framework. Not a set of techniques that work in calm conditions and fall apart under pressure. A fundamentally different quality of seeing yourself, others and the systems you operate inside.

No prior coaching training required. You bring your professional experience, your curiosity and your willingness to reflect. That is the starting point.
