Practice
Participants are paired up to practise their skills and give each other feedback. You will work with a permanent
buddy for the duration of the course from within the course and a coaching buddy of your choosing from outside of the course.
Following session five and ahead of the assessments you will work in trios to carry out mock assessments for each other. This will enable you to work with more people as well as broaden your coaching experience.
Your practice can be done by phone, in person or virtually. The purpose is to provide a safe place where participants can stretch their skills, take risks, make mistakes, and make the process their own. This practice enables our students to progress to higher levels of competence and integrate the skills.
Additional CPD between training sessions
In addition to the practice, you will have additional CPD which includes reading, reflection time, journaling and other resources where specified.

Cancellation
The MOE Foundation does not accept responsibility for any accident, injury or loss suffered by delegates while attending the coaching programme, unless it is due to negligence on its part. The MOE Foundation reserves the right to amend or cancel the programme content, time, venue, trainers and date of the event. In the unlikely event of the cancellation of the course, the delegate will be refunded in full, but the MOE Foundation will not be held liable for any costs delegates may incur as a result of such a cancellation.

Film and photo policy
We take photos and make short videos of the MOE events and training sessions. We use the photos and videos on our website, social media sites and in news and publicity materials to inform others about the MOE Foundation; to promote services and other events; to communicate important news to members of the MOE Community; and to provide information to individuals and organisations in the wider community.
We take photos and video at events that often involve large groups of people, some of whom may be visitors. This makes it impossible, on a practical level, to obtain the consent of every person that might appear in a photograph or video clip, and to try to do so would be unmanageable. Instead, we have adopted an approach that informs those who come to events that we take and use photographs and have put in place clear procedures to safeguard the rights of those who appear in photographs. MOE foundation respects your personal privacy and we will never intentionally misuse your personal data, information and/or image. To ask for an image to be removed or edited, or to ask for a copy of the full Film and Photo Policy please contact sue@moefoundation.com
