Pre-Course Work

Any pre-course work will be sent at least one week before the course starts. This work will need to be brought to the training.
Each component of the training is critical to the process and full participation is required to qualify as an accredited coach in each level of training.

Post-Training Requirements

Participants will be expected to carry out the required number of coaching sessions, as listed below, within 12 months of the training course. Following the coaching sessions, coachees will be requested to submit online feedback about the coaching received.

Coaching Partnerships Accreditation: Feedback evaluations from THREE separate partnerships – one evaluation from each of the SIX people.

Coaching Teams Accreditation: THREE feedback evaluations from three separate teams – one evaluation from each team leader/manager.

Coaching Individuals | Advanced Accreditation: THREE feedback evaluations.

Once the Strengths Network office has received all feedback evaluations each participant will be contacted. If all of the requirements have been met successfully each participant will be awarded the qualification of Strengths Network Essentials, Advanced, Partnerships or Teams Accredited Coach and will receive a completion certificate.

Qualification

Strengths Network was established to provide training in 2008. However, Strengths Network is an independent organisation and those who are trained by the Strengths Network are not Gallup Certified Coaches but Strengths Network Accredited Coaches.

Connect to the Network

We recommend all Strengths Network trained Coaches join the Strengths Network for support, resources and professional development. We also provide feedback opportunities for coachees (clients) via the online forms on the Strengths Network website. Each Strengths Network Accredited Coach will have the option of being listed on the website directory and the option of attending ongoing training.

Course Cancellation

Strengths Network courses combine lecture-style instruction and practical group activities, both in person and online. Each training course has a minimum/maximum number of participants required to ensure a successful learning experience. Strengths Network reserves the right to cancel any session that does not reach the minimum number of participants on or before the Confirmation Date listed and will notify all registered participants of the cancellation at that time. We also reserve the right to close off registrations if the maximum numbers for a course has been reached. We encourage participants to plan their travel and accommodation once the course has been confirmed as each participant is responsible for their own travel/accommodation expenses.

Strengths Network reserves the right to make changes to training events as necessary and will endeavour to inform participants in a timely manner.
