Course Overview
Great coaches do more than help people improve. They can transform how teams work, communicate, and achieve their goals. The CMI Level 7 Certificate in Leadership Coaching and Mentoring (RQF) builds on this idea, helping you develop the skills to introduce and lead coaching and mentoring initiatives across an organisation. Awarded by the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) and regulated by Ofqual, this qualification is designed for experienced senior managers, directors and learning and development professionals responsible for developing people.
Through this Level 7 leadership coaching and mentoring course, you'll learn to plan, deliver and evaluate coaching and mentoring programmes, address resistance to change, and demonstrate how these initiatives contribute to business objectives. You'll also explore organisational coaching policies, ethical considerations, and the recognition of coaches and mentors. These skills can help you develop effective approaches to talent development and create a workplace where people are better supported to reach their potential.
Global Edulink allows you to study this CMI Level 7 coaching and mentoring qualification online around your work commitments. The course is estimated to take around 28 days at two hours per day and includes professionally narrated learning materials and personal mentor support to help you apply what you learn at work. There are no formal examinations; instead, you'll complete written assignments to demonstrate your understanding.
This Level 7 coaching and mentoring qualification may support career ambitions in business coaching, senior corporate coaching or learning and development management, depending on your experience and career goals. You can also explore further study through the CMI Level 7 Diploma in Leadership Coaching and Mentoring or relevant Level 7 qualifications in strategic management and leadership.
