COACH-IT

Using the materials and content developed in COACH-IT prospective and existing coaches gain skills and competencies to capture the benefits of the online coaching format: to obtain a large and diverse client base and to provide high-quality services. A successful program must be grounded in reality, i.e. based on the needs and expectations of the target audience, and is in line with the realities of coaching in a post-pandemic and increasingly digitalized society. The PR1 Compendium & Curriculum enables the identification and analysis of the context of coaching in general and of coaching over the internet, existing practice and skills gaps, and the creation of the learning approach and objectives for the PR2 Training Programme. As previously indicated, ensuring the quality of online coaching services and making sure the clients receive the services they need requires a more formal recognition of coach skills, so that potential clients can identify those coaches who can provide quality online coaching. As a result, PR3 sets up a framework for recognizing the skills acquired, both across the participating ICF chapters, as well as for transferring this recognition on a European or even global level, not only during but even after the project lifetime. The potential transference of the COACH-IT qualification into regular coaching programs as well as other vocational training programs is considered to ensure that the COACH-IT qualification remains of high quality even in the long run.
