APS Training/Events

APS events draw upon psychology to enhance your proficiency at helping yourself or others.  They are designed for, for example:

  • Practitioners who are seeking to develop their proficiency at coaching.
  • People who may not be formally coaching, but who wish to draw upon psychological principles and approaches so they can enhance their own or others' performance, development and/or wellbeing.

This includes: coaches; psychologists; teachers; leaders; managers; mentors; consultants; and advisors.

What people have said about APS workshops....

"I just wanted to add a bit of extra feedback on today.  I am once again amazed at your ability to keep everyone engaged for a full day on screens.  Rarely have I attended courses that are so practical and appropriate for my work.  I spend a lot of time listening to you thinking 'I can't wait to try that'. It doesn't surprise me that you are a great coach.  You have a warm and enabling style that lends itself to helping people grow.  You make this look easy but I know it isn't. Your generosity in this and more practically in the resources you provide is appreciated.  I just wanted to confirm that in line with your values, you have made a huge contribution today which I am sure will fan out from the group who attended to influence many beyond it." - Senior Educational Psychologist.
"Fantastic two days which were excellently structured, with lots of time for valuable reflection to embed learning.  Rather than leaving feeling overwhelmed with new material, I feel comfortable in my new knowledge and ready to take it forward.  Thank-you."  - Educational Psychologist.
"Honestly, this was one of the best CPD events I have ever attended." - Teacher & Learning Coach/FE Lecturer.
"Excellent knowledge and expertise shared, even when faced with questions outside of subject area or objectives for the day." - Secondary School Teacher.

Enhancing Performance, Development & Wellbeing in Schools with Coaching & Coaching Psychology

1, 2 or 3 days of training in coaching and coaching psychology principles and skills for education practitioners.
Picture
Applied in educational contexts, the practice of coaching psychology can have a positive impact by supporting young people and adults to achieve enhanced standards of functioning and wellbeing.

However, coaching psychology is not just for psychologists - the principles and techniques can be readily learned and applied by education practitioners themselves.

APS is now offering teams and organizations the opportunity to commission 1, 2 or 3 days of training in coaching and coaching psychology skills and principles.

​​We will either travel to your preferred location or work online to deliver a programme of coaching training that is designed to meet the needs of your team or group (see below for a sample programme).

If desired, you can market the training to other practitioners in your area to help cover costs.
​
The training is suitable for education practitioners, psychologists, coaches, mentors, consultants, leaders and managers.  Basically, anyone who works in education with an interest or investment in helping others to change & develop.
