The course is designed for anyone with a passion for working with children and an openness to learn coaching skills to grow from never having coached before to feeling confident in coaching children both in a 1:1 basis and group settings. 

If you have previous experience in coaching you will enjoy progressing your practice, taking into account the child development aspects needed to coach children.  

It is helpful to have some experience working with children, tweens or teens, but this need not be in an employment capacity, it could be through being a parent, family member or as a volunteer.

 On enrolment in our Wise for My Size Children’s Coaching Course, you will gain immediate access to our online learning portal- The Wise for My Size Academy. You can immediately start your Wise for My Size Children’s Coaching journey all you will need is a notebook and pen. (what a great excuse to go stationary shopping).

There are indeed many options available to you once you are certified, most of our coaches fall into three main categories.

1) Enhancing your tool kit within your current role. If you are a teacher, tutor, sports coach, dance teacher, therapist or anyone who works with children in an empowering, caring or teaching capacity having the Wise for My Size Coaches tool kit in your pocket is a wonderful way to enhance how you are currently working right now. Having tried and tested resources that help motivate, inspire, and empower children and young people is a powerful self-development area that will enhance every aspect of your work.

2) Starting your own coaching business or adding children’s coaching to your coaching business. Perhaps you are dreaming of working for yourself and can see the alignment of becoming a Life Coach for children as part of that vision. Or you may already be a coach for adults and, you wish to expand your business offer to include children and young people. Just imagine if you could give those tools to children, before all the negative self-talk, limiting beliefs and worry set in! 

3) The exit strategy. Perhaps you are not looking to make any BIG decisions right now, but you know that one day you will. If you love working with children and know that any next step will include having a bigger impact than you can currently have, then becoming a Wise for My Size Children’s Life Coach is a wonderful way to start exploring what your ‘next chapter’ could look like.

Our course has 4 phases each can be worked through at a pace that feels right for you. Here we have tried to illustrate the time required to complete all of the elements and where you could speed up and what might hold you back a little (forewarned is forearmed as they say). 

Phase one One-line training. 

There are 11 modules for you to work through adding up to 8 hours of learning.  Each module has an average of 12 lessons which you can watch or listen to depending on your learning style preference. 

Some of our coaches have worked through this part of the training in two weeks fitting in the learning on their work commute or when on ‘child taxi service’ in the evenings, others have made regular time each week and completed the one-line learning element over a couple of months. How you complete this part of the course will be up to you. 

Phase two In-person training

This is a transformational 3 days where you get to start applying the theory gained within phase one. The days are a combination of lectures, case studies, practical elements, coaching skills acquisition, and preparation for the practical element in phase three. We know as busy parents ourselves getting away for 3 days can seem like an enormous ask but we promise you that it will be more than worth it. 

At the moment, we are offering the in-person training 3 times a year. Please refer to the main website page for up-to-date details. 

Phase three Coaching Practical 

Once you have completed the in-person training, you will be allowed to use our Wise for My Size resources with a limited number of practice clients as you work towards completing your certification.

The aims of working with practice clients are;

• To learn to apply the theory you have  learned in the coaching intensive.
• To gain skills and confidence in coaching children and young people
• To reflect and grow as a coach.
• It is more important that you learn and grow, than you get it right first time.

Your practical will consist of working with individual clients and a small group setting over an 8-week coaching program. For those wanting to use the Wise for My Size methodology within their current role within the classroom there is a case study option. 

If you can do all 3 practical sessions at the same time the length of this part of the course could take you as little as 8 weeks. From experience our coaches have opted to stagger the start of their practical either starting their group first and then the individual sessions a couple of weeks later. We have also found that with school holidays some practical sessions have take 10 weeks or more to deliver all 8 coaching sessions. 

Phase four Assessment and Evaluation

We always encourage you to complete the work for your evaluation as you go along as it makes this part seamless and stress free. Your submissions will include your recordings, reflections and case studies. There is also a short open book exam that tests your theory knowledge. Once you have submitted all elements to Wise for My Size HQ you can expect to get your results within 2 to 3 weeks. 

So in summary if you are super focused and want to complete your certification as quickly as possible you could do so within 4 months but you do have up to 3 years to complete your training – as we know life happens. 

From our experience so far it has taken our coaches an average of 6 months to complete the certification course.

Our coaching materials are suitable for children aged 7 to 16 years.  We do of course show how to adapt your approach to this diverse age range. Importantly consider what age group of children you want to coach, not everyone enjoys working with very young children, and likewise not everyone enjoys working with teenagers, you can pick the age group you feel most comfortable coaching 

Yes if you choose to work privately, you will be self-employed once you have your license this is not a job it is a training certification. 

Some coaches complete their certification and work within their current employment, for example a class teacher may complete the training and then offer Wise for my Size groups within their school or a charity worker may offer coaching sessions within their charity on this basis they will stay employed and deliver the Wise for my Size materials in house.  

You will need an Enhanced Disclosure/DBS check as you are working with children.  If you do not have a up-to-date check we can signpost you to Organisations who will do this for you for a small fee. 

You will require to be insured prior to starting your practical sessions
