Now you've enrolled on the course you will equip yourself with essential tools for coaching teens and young adults such as active listening, goal-setting, and positive psychology approaches that develop psychological wellbeing and resilience.
Participating in the course as a delegate will increase your confidence and give you the skills and information you need to start coaching young people in your current role or as an individual practitioner.
This article will help answer any final questions you may have about what happens once you have enrolled on the course.

Once you have enrolled we will go quiet for a while until it is time to start the next course. We will then send you your course log-in for the academy on the official online learning start date via email. If you don't get this email on the start date please email us ASAP to get this re-sent.
When you log in scroll to the bottom of the Wellbeing Academy main dashboard, where you will see the Worth-it Coach training course. You will see the course is now unlocked for you to make a start.
Once you progress through the course the resources, coaching log and support sections will unlock. This is to stop you from feeling overwhelmed or that you need to do everything all at the beginning. We have designed the course to enable your skills to build up gradually over time. You should be able to start using your coaching skills with young people after you have completed Module 2.
If you have accessed the Wellbeing Academy before you may have used different email addresses to access free resources. This means you may have multiple access accounts that might need to be merged. If you think you may have multiple log-ins please let us know which your preferred email address is for your course log-in.
Always remember to check the junk inbox as your course log-in comes from the academy email address and this may automatically go to junk.
Remember we are always here to help so just send us an email if you have any questions or get stuck.
This Condensed 'Summer School' The course is delivered online in two parts. Part 1 is 2 weeks and Part 2 is one weeks. The course blends short online videos, with reflective tasks, practical activities and 6x4-hour practical workshops hosted on zoom.
The next coach training course starts on the 3rd March 2025 with 2.5 hours of online learning to complete before the live workshops. All live workshops are hosted on Zoom on Tuesdays 10am-2pm (UK time).
Part 1 - workshop dates 11th, 18th, 25th March and 1st April 2025.
Part 2 - workshop dates 13th and 20th May 2025.
In between the workshops are 90 minutes worth of online learning, practical tasks and reflective practice. These are followed up with 2 x 2-hour online group support sessions, online reflective coaching logs, tutor feedback and a bonus 3-hour group coaching workshop. The dates for these will be decided by the course participants and will happen after both Parts 1 and 2 have been delivered.
Once you have completed the 7 modules you'll also gain access to practical business development bonus workshops.
Once the course starts you will have 12 months to complete the course from the day it starts. For example if the course starts on the 29th July 2024, you will have until the 29th July 2025 to complete the course.

If the buttons don't appear you may need to go back through the online modules to make sure you have a purple tick for every learning outcome and the course progress bar is at 100%. Please let us know if you have any problems or want to check if you have missed a learning outcome. We are happy to help.
The real value is in attending live and discussing your experiences working with young people and practising your coaching skills with peer trainee coaches on the course. Course participants find this a very integral and enjoyable part of the learning process.
If you are unable to join a workshop for whatever reason, you will be able to join the next cohort workshop, within your 12-month access and catch up on the session you missed. Please let us know in advance so we can arrange this for you.
All sessions are recorded so if you have an emergency or are ill you can catch up with a recording so you don't miss out.

There will be a small amount of prep work to do before each module, which may involve downloading some resources.

The complete course provides a total of 56 hours of training and 20 hours of further coaching practice is required to complete the course. As our course blends online learning, practical workshops, peer learning and requires you to complete 20 hours of practice coaching sessions with young people, we recommend the course will take 3-6 months to complete. You have online access to the course for 12 months, just to give you that bit extra time to get all the coaching practice completed.
Once you have completed the course you will be able to download training certificates.
For more information about the modules and online learning can be found on the Worth-it Coach Training Course.

The course also provides a workshop on how to develop and run group coaching programmes using the tools and resources shared in the course. We have also included information and resources in the course about how to prepare for and start your coaching sessions, how to review the coaching process and end coaching sessions. You will learn how to work with parents or partner agencies and organisations such as schools.

Course delegates value our simple but effective tools and resources that kickstart their abilities to confidently coach young people.
The tools that we have been given to work with have formed the basis of my coaching practice and I will continue to use them.

Sarah also went on to say..
"I now feel confident that I can take on clients and work with them in a productive and positive way. I felt able to ask lots of questions about professional practice and now understand how coaching should be undertaken properly. I feel that I am able to confidently start my own professional practice safe in the knowledge that I am asserting the right boundaries straight away and am putting in place the correct techniques to ensure the best outcomes for my clients but also for my own benefit as a competent practitioner."
