ILM 5 Coaching and Mentoring Qualification for NASS Members
January to April 2025
We are delighted to be able to offer NASS members a new coaching programme, delivered via EduCoach. This complements our existing leadership and development programmes and is ideal for school staff looking to deepen their understanding and skills in coaching and develop this within school.
There is good evidence that coaching improves staff retention and recruitment and a 2021 study found that special schools that used coaching had better student outcomes and behaviour. This new online programme, starting in January 2025, is exclusively for NASS members, so alongside your direct learning, you will benefit from being alongside a group of special school peers and the networking opportunities this creates.
EduCoach’s director, Nick Taylor, is a former NASS member Assistant Principal and knows and understands our sector well. He is offering a 10% reduction on the usual cost for this programme – £1,750 to cover all training and assessment for the level 5 qualification (equivalent to the second year of a Bachelor’s degree).
Applications are being dealt with directly by EduCoach. Please email info@educoach.uk.
