Summary module description:
This is the second of two modules making up the Post-Graduate Certificate level of the Masters in Coaching and Behavioural Change. It comprises 10 days of workshop delivery, together with inter-workshop practice, reading and reflection.
This module is designed to offer an experiential and practical training in core technologies of Coaching and Behavioural Change. This draws upon many of the schools of psychology, and coaching techniques already covered by students in the first module of the Post-Graduate Certificate, the Foundations of Coaching £ Henley Certificate in Coaching. The tools and techniques covered in the module will mainly be presented and practiced in a coaching style, thus giving students an intense coaching practice opportunity.

The NLP module is designed to allow external student participation, from corporate clients and individuals who wish to undertake an NLP training, without the academic accreditation. Henley students will thus have access to a good variety of new people with whom to work, instead of relying only on their colleagues on the Henley programme for practice. This will also bring a fresh mix of participants into the programme, which is hugely beneficial to the MSc students for practice purposes.

Summative assessment- Examinations:

Summative assessment- Coursework and in-class tests:

NLP is described as 'the study of the structure of subjective experience', and has broken down the structure of many originally therapeutic interventions, making them widely available for use. The techniques NLP chose to model were often used exclusively within a therapeutic setting, where the history, permission and willingness to engage at a deep level had already been obtained from the client. Discuss the implications this might have within the coaching setting, and what steps a coach or coachee might take to judge the suitability of techniques for non-therapeutic situations by people working as coaches, not therapists.
