Course summary
This course is designed to equip students with the necessary skills, knowledge, and understanding to excel in community coaching, with a specific focus on achieving high performance in the UK coaching environment.
Throughout the programme, students will gain a deep understanding of the diversity that exists within culturally diverse organisations, and learn to navigate cross-cultural issues, diversity, and values in the coaching context. This awareness will be essential in fostering inclusive coaching practices that cater to a broad range of communities and individuals.

Students will have opportunities to develop the practical skills, techniques, and personal attributes that are crucial for success in professional environments, enhancing their employability in the process.

Additional fee information
Leicester College unfortunately does not hold a UK Home Office (Tier 4/Student route) licence, which means it cannot directly recruit international students for its higher education (Level 4–6) programmes. Certain exceptions can exist for Irish residents and individuals with settled/pre‑settled EUSS status, Indefinite Leave to Remain or another form of unlimited UK leave. If unsure it is best to contact Leicester College for a fee status assessment.
