Improve your English language skills as a professional business coach
Coaching in English consists of three modules. It is divided into two days of face-to-face group training and two half days of virtual training. The curriculum is interactive and allows you to actively practice your language skills in a coaching context. The combination of trainer input, coaching practice and personal feedback ensures that by the end of the course you will have the language skills you need to coach clients in English in person or virtually.

Expert & Trainer James Schofield
I have had two different but related careers. In my first career I worked as a Business English and intercultural trainer for different international organisations in Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Spain, UK and Germany. During that time, I was also an English textbook writer working for different publishers including Langenscheidt, Cengage and Harper Collins. You can see my Amazon author page, here.
My second career began in 2011 when I did a coaching training leading to DVCT certification. Since then, I have worked as a communication expert in the areas of coaching, facilitation and change management.
In my spare time I write humorous short stories for different magazines and some of these I have also turned into episodes for my podcast ‘Behind the Bottom Line’.

Pre-course requirements
- A coaching certificate from a certified provider (e.g., DVCT, ICC etc)

*At B2 level a speaker:
- Can understand the main ideas of complex text on both concrete and abstract topics, including technical discussions in their field of specialization.
- Can interact with a degree of fluency and spontaneity that makes regular interaction with native speakers quite possible without strain for either party.
- Can produce clear, detailed text on a wide range of subjects and explain a viewpoint on a topical issue giving the advantages and disadvantages of various options.
