Foundation Course
(Module Leaders: Professor Peter Hawkins, Gil Schwenk, Nick Smith)
The Foundation course is a 3-day workshop and is the starting point for experienced coaches, mentors and consultants who want to develop a greater understanding and capability of supervision. The Foundation course can be taken as part of the certificate or as a stand-alone course.
