The Coach Accelerator Programme
The Coach Accelerator Programme (CAP) offers distinctive and unique high performance coach development over three years.
Small diverse cohorts continue their coaching practice while engaging in individualised development opportunities as well as an intensive series of planned activities that integrate facilitators and participants.
The Programme draws upon the principles of social construction, action learning and self-awareness through critical self-reflection. It focuses on the application of coaching and leadership principles and practices within each participant’s coaching context.
