Learning and Development
The ‘Learning and Development’ tab hosts a range of resources to support your learning and development once qualified.
The Digital Library includes a wide range of resources from across the disciplines, from videos, audio books and blogs to presentations and podcasts.
The Coach Self-Analysis Tool and Leader Self-Analysis Tools enable an individual to gauge their current level of understanding, skill and knowledge in their chosen discipline. The analysis then offers considerations of how the coach may want to support their continual learning and development.
