Programme content
The Level 5 Coaching Professional Apprenticeship is for coaches and managers across all sectors. The course will help you develop knowledge, skills and behaviours such as:
- coaching skills, active listening skills and questioning techniques

How is the programme delivered?
The delivery of our apprenticeship programme will include:
- versatile online delivery
- a number of in-person on-campus training days
- support by a vocational skills coach
Apprentices can begin the programme at any time due to a rolling admission process starting from September 2023.
You will collect and collate evidence through real life, work-based practice for your portfolio. The final end-point assessment involves an observation, an interview based on your portfolio and knowledge test.
The programme fully satisfies the average minimum six hours per week off the job learning. This is required for all apprenticeships funded through the levy.
Applicants without a Grade C or above in GCSE English and maths (or equivalent qualifications) will need to achieve Level 2 English and maths prior to taking the end-point assessment. This can be arranged as part of the course.
All applicants’ skills and prior experience will be assessed prior to admission to ensure the programme is suited to their role, knowledge and experience.
The cost of this programme is £5,000. It's covered for levy-paying employers through the apprenticeship levy or 95% is covered for non-levy paying SMEs through the government funding scheme.
Applications are now open for a rolling admission.
