The Coaching Conversations Program is Growing, and Registration is Open!

 

The Coaching Conversations Program is growing! We are continuing to offer our full schedule of workshops, but we are also in the process of recertifying to provide both a 60-hour Level I program, and a 30-hour Level II program.

Why the expansion to Level II? We developed a lot of material – more than the 60 hours we are certified for. Growing the program allows participants to be recognized for the work they complete, and provides more training hours for those who need it or want it. This change is part of a larger vision to offer continuing education for people who have earned certification, and further hours for people who want certification, but need 120 hours of training.

You might notice some changes:

• Old Workshops have New Titles: Name changes improve clarity for participants and facilitate the expansion of the program for continuing education in coaching.

• The order of workshops has changed a little: This won’t hurt you, no matter your stage of completion. You will not lose credit for any workshop you have completed (or the cohort, if you were in the 2018-2019 year). There are specific questions about completion answered down below in the FAQs.

• Registration will be open soon! Stay tuned here and on the coaching blog

 

 

FAQs for Levels I and II

Where are we in the approval process for the new program?

• It’s a lengthy process to both compile the submission and with lots of reading and reviewing time for CCE, it’s a process we expect to be in for a significant part of spring 2020.
• They have assured us they work with a program to meet their standards if there are any issues.

I’ve completed up to Day 3/ Coaching Tools, what do I do now?

• You’re fine to keep going to “old” Day 5/Coaching in Cultural Contexts
• You might have done “Groups and Classes”; that credit is recorded and not going anywhere.

I’ve completed up to old Day 4/ Self-Management and Decision-Making through Coaching. What do I do now?

• You are ready for old Day 5/Coaching in Cultural Contexts; old Day 4/Self-Management and Decision-Making through Coaching is recorded and you have credit for it. You can use it as part of the 30 hour training for certification if you need more than 60 hours, or you can include it as part of the 30 hour sequence after certification for continuing education
• You also might have completed “Groups and Classes”; that credit is recorded. You can use it as part of the 30 hour training for certification if you need more than 60 hours, or you can include it as part of the 30 hour sequence after certification for continuing education

I’ve done the old full 9.5/10 day sequence and cohort; I’m eligible to certify with 60 hours.

• That’s great! If you are pursuing certification and can certify with 60 hours, you may certify under the old system and leave it there. You may also certify under the new system, and then complete the new thirty-hour training to count toward your continuing education requirements for the certification.

I’ve done the old full 9.5/10 day sequence and have not completed the cohort yet.

• You may go ahead and complete the cohort under the old system or the new as we transtion.

I’ve done most of the old full 9.5/10 day sequence and need either Leadership or Groups and Classes to complete the old 60 hours. Can I still take it?

• Yes! Just register and follow up with an email to kegoldst@iu.edu to let me know.
