The Point Park University Center for Management Excellence has designed this coaching process to teach people to become effective coaches either within an organization or to begin a coaching practice. This process will present the basics needed for those people who want to learn how to effectively coach, to be able to sit for the coaching certification examination, develop a practice to coach, and help clients achieve a better future. People who are presently working within organizations such as supervisors, managers, and executives who want to effectively coach direct reports will benefit from this learning process.

Requirements between each class meeting:

  • Fieldwork, and homework will be assigned
  • Participants will need to show evidence of practice coaching by completing the peer coaching observation and feedback sheet
  • Participants will have assigned readings from the text and articles on coaching to be read prior to the following meeting
  • Each class will begin with a brief test based on the prior class materials and readings (participants must achieve a passing grade of 70% on all tests)

Attendance

Class attendance will be taken for each meeting and records maintained at the Point Park University Center for Management Excellence.  Participants are responsible for successfully completing missed work, workshop notes, completion of all class assignments, and passing all class tests. It is the participants’ responsibility to finish all required work for completion of the course to receive the Point Park University Coaching in the Workplace Certificate of Completion. Participants can only have one excused absence outside of an emergency. 

Grievance Process

Most grievances within this process are usually settled in the initial phase with a personal conference with the instructor.  If the participant is still dissatisfied, he/she can go to the executive director for the Center of Management Excellence. If the participant is still dissatisfied, he/she can go to the vice president of student affairs.  The participant is required to act in a professional and erudite manner in presenting his/her grievance.
