âWhatâs actually involved in gaining a coaching accreditation with 123 People Development?â
A question⊠we get asked a lot.
Because from the outside, it can feel:
complicated
time-consuming
a bit overwhelming
So letâs simplify it.
At its core, gaining your accreditation isnât about ticking boxes.
Itâs about developing how you think, listen, and show up.
Hereâs what that looks like in practice:
đ Learning the foundations
Youâll explore coaching models, frameworks, and approaches
Not to memorise⊠but to understand how to use them in real conversations
đ Practising⊠a lot
This isnât theory-heavy learning
Youâll coach.
Youâll be coached.
Youâll observe others.
Because coaching is a skill⊠and skills are built through doing.
đ Receiving feedback
Supportive, constructive, and honest
Not to catch you outâŠ
But to help you see what you canât yet see yourself.
đ Reflecting on your own practice
This is where the real growth happens
Understanding:
your patterns
your strengths
your blind spots
đ Completing your coaching hours
Working with real people, in real conversations
Building confidence, experience, and your own style.
đ Assessment and accreditation
A chance to demonstrate your learning
Not perfectionâŠ
But progress, awareness, and capability.
And throughout all of thisâŠ
Youâre supported.
In a safe space.
With people who are on the same journey.
With facilitators who walk alongside you, not ahead of you.
Because gaining accreditation isnât just about becoming a coach.
Itâs about becoming more of who you already are⊠with intention.
If youâve been wondering whatâs involvedâŠ
Hopefully, this gives you a clearer picture.
And if you want to explore whether itâs right for youâŠ
