What are CSU’s Organisational Coaching and Leadership programs?Charles Sturt University’s (CSU’s) Graduate Diploma of Organisational Coaching and Leadership and Graduate Certificate in Organisational Coaching and Leadership combine academic study with industry accredited coach training to provide graduates with the knowledge and skills to lead and manage high-performing, dynamic organisations. The courses have been developed in conjunction with the Institute of Executive Coaching and Leadership (IECL).

The Graduate Certificate in Organisational Coaching and Leadership provides a foundation in organisational coaching theory, practice and methods. Students complete four subjects including two CSU subjects and two IECL subjects, which build practical skills in coaching and leadership, communication and facilitation, reflective judgement and problem solving.

The Graduate Diploma of Organisational Coaching and Leadership comprises eight subjects, including four CSU subjects and four IECL subjects, and builds on the knowledge developed in the Graduate Certificate through practical applications. You will enhance your coaching and leadership skills through practice and reflection on practice, communication, critical and reflective judgement, problem solving, cultural competence and ethical decision-making.

The IECL component of both courses is delivered face-to-face via experiential workshops at IECL training centres located in Canberra, Melbourne and Sydney, as well as Beijing, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Shanghai and Singapore. The CSU component is offered by distance education, giving students the flexibility to fit study around their existing work, family and lifestyle commitments.

Career opportunitiesCSU’s Graduate Certificate in Organisational Coaching and Leadership and Graduate Diploma of Organisational Coaching and Leadership are designed to provide sound theoretical and practical grounding in organisational coaching and business leadership. Knowledge and skills developed in this course will enable graduates in managerial / executive positions (and those aspiring to such positions) to assume greater leadership responsibilities and take on contemporary leadership challenges in corporate, government, small business and not-for-profit roles.

The courses will provide organisational coaches (internal or external) with a rigorous coaching methodology that can be implemented for high performance coaching at all levels in organisations. The courses will also benefit human relations and organisational development practitioners, consultants and advisers.

Professional recognitionThe IECL component of this course is based on the IECL Accredited Coach Training Program curriculum, which is accredited with the International Coach Federation (USA).

“I chose CSU’s Graduate Certificate in Organisational Coaching and Leadership as I was looking for something that would both enhance my skills as an organisational coach, and have credibility in relation to my employer and potential coaching counterparts (clients). I am a ‘life-long learner’ and have always stayed abreast of relevant peer-reviewed literature in various fields. However, as I am at a stage in my career where postgraduate qualifications are considered mandatory for most of the positions I might be interested in, I had a desire to formalise my ongoing professional development. The course has made me more familiar with some of the key issues that are likely to arise in the coaching environment, including in sectors outside of the one that I am currently working in.”
