Training to become an accredited coach.

Becoming an accredited coach provides professional credibility, demonstrates a commitment to a global code of ethics and competencies, ensures that a high standard of service is maintained and provides reassurance to clients that they are being coached by a professional.

Coach Training

Become the expert in EQ-i emotional intelligence.

Our British-Psychology-Society-recognised certification programme is aimed at coaches, HR professionals and anyone responsible for people development. Our programme covers the fundamental principles of emotional intelligence, including assessment and reporting. Think EQ uses the world’s only scientifically validated method measuring emotional intelligence – the EQ-i 2.0 diagnostic tool.

EQ-i 2.0 DETAILS

Supervision and support throughout your coaching career.

It is imperative that coaching competencies are kept fresh and evolve over time. For that reason, Think EQ’s support does not end when you become a coach. Our accredited coach supervisors will support people through their coaching career, monitoring and mentoring to ensure they are continuously developing and improving. Our ongoing support also satisfies the Association for Coaching®’s requirement for a year-long log of regular supervision.

Think EQ coaching alumni can also attend quarterly supervision sessions to refresh and update techniques and tools.
