10 advantages of the "Coaching (Zert)" qualification
No specific prior training is required for further training as a coach. People from all professions and industries can take further training to become a coach in addition to their specialist knowledge and professional experience.
Summary of the most important advantages of a "Coaching (Cert.):
- There are various schools that offer training in very different orientations, e.g. with a conversation-oriented, client-centered, Gestalt-therapeutic, transaction-analytical, systemic solution-oriented or behavioral-therapeutic approach.
- No prior psychological or counseling knowledge is required to join a course.
- There are schools in every region that offer coaching courses, so it should be possible for everyone to find a provider within easy reach.
- All courses are designed to be part-time and there are various time models to choose from.
- The training courses are very practice-oriented and with the integrated exercise sequences it is also possible to immediately apply what has been learned in everyday life.
- Between the training days there is plenty of time to practise what you have learned and to deepen your own understanding.
- Parallel to the training, the participants also look at their own issues in supervision and coaching sessions, so that the training also contributes a great deal to their own development.
- Those who complete the training with a training partner of the bso (Professional Association for Coaching, Supervision and Organizational Consulting) can then apply for membership and call themselves a bso coach.
- After graduating as a coach, it is possible to continue training up to the level of a federal higher professional examination.
- Since 1.1.2018, preparatory courses for federal professional examinations and higher professional examinations have been financially supported by the federal government. Anyone who takes the federal professional examination "Company Mentor" or a higher professional examination "Supervisor Coach" or "Organizational Consultant" following training as a coach can therefore receive up to 50% of the course fees back after taking the federal examination.
