Congratulations to the first graduates from the Belbin Accredited Team Coaching Programme
Cambridge-based Belbin Ltd, provider of the globally trusted gold-standard tool for developing high performing teams, is proud to announce the first successful graduations from the new ‘Belbin Accredited Team Coaching Programme’.
Belbin enables strengths-based working to improve business performance through more effective teamwork. The development of a ‘Belbin Accredited Team Coaching Programme’ was a logical step to provide a new offering to help facilitate team understanding, growth, learning and performance using a team coaching approach.
Graduates awarded dual accreditation and access to unique fast-track option
The first graduates of the nine-month, part-time fully supported programme have now been awarded with ‘Belbin Accredited Team Coach’ status which is an accredited 'Diploma in Team Coach Training (ADTCT)’ programme awarded by the Association for Coaching.
The Association for Coaching (AC) is a leading independent, not-for-profit professional body committed to championing standards of excellence in the coaching profession worldwide. The Belbin Team Coaching Programme was successfully reviewed against and passed the comprehensive criteria outlined in the AC competency model.
Furthermore, the Belbin Team Coaching programme is currently the only programme that provides graduates with access to a special, fast-track route to apply to the AC for personal accreditation to either Level 1 (Team Practitioner) or Level 2 (Accredited Team Coach) recognition.
Details of all those who have successfully graduated from the programme are now listed in a dedicated Belbin Team Coach Directory which can be found here.
Proud to have met the demanding criteria
Managing Director of Belbin, Jo Keeler said: "When developing our unique team coaching programme, we looked to the high standards and requirements the AC set and cross matched the structure and learning outcomes of our programme. We were proud to meet the demanding criteria to receive AC accreditation for our team coaching programme, making it a real gold-standard qualification for those looking to provide a robust offering in the field of team coaching. We are delighted for those who have been first to graduate from this unique programme."
Team Coaching is a growing area to help improve team performance
Team Coaching is a growing area of interest as businesses explore new approaches to help improve collaboration and development to improve team performance and achieve business objectives.
The AC defines Team Coaching as “the application of coaching skills while working with a whole, intact team over time to improve inter-dependent members’ abilities to work together collaboratively to achieve the team’s collective purpose, potential and performance.”
Belbin Ltd is a Corporate Member of the Association of Coaching (AC) and a regular contributor to the AC professional webinar series.
