"... If you look at any training coaching jobs they will expect you to have a CIPD qualification. The programme has hugely improved my confidence as a coach and as a person. I'm more valued as a coach, able to support management teams, and feel I'm somebody who can contribute to the business... Nothing else is really going to give you the quality or the diversity of the learning experience that you'll get from this programme... it's going to really make you stand out." Amy Gilman
