27 hr Goal Focused Coaching (GFC) continuing education training course is based on the first course in our 60-hour, CCE approved GFC training programs. The course achieves core competencies for Board Certified Coach (BCC) training by emphasizing important coaching knowledge and the practical application needed for professional coaches working from a G-F perspective with individuals, businesses and organizations. What is Goal-Focused Coaching? Goal-Focused Coaching is a systemized process through which individuals are helped to explore issues/dreams/values/purpose, set goals, develop action plans and then act, monitor and evaluate their performance in order to better reach their goals. The coach’s role is to facilitate and guide the coachee through this process. The course is online, on-demand. Students work at their own pace. Learning occurs through assigned reading from the required text and other materials, videos, discussion forums, practice activities, personal reflection and a multiple-choice exam with a required passing score of 70%. In order to facilitate learning, students may take the test three times. In the unlikely event a student does not pass the test after 3 attempts, specific content areas in need of additional review and additional test attempts may be requested. Students must purchase the required text and have regular internet access to complete this course. REQUIRED TEXT: Grant, A. & Greene, J. (2004).
