Hello Youth Coach,

There are so many people who work with and or care for young people yet are so frustrated with their efforts to make any positive difference in the lives of the young people they genuinely care for (dare we say love)

Imagine being able to access and use tools that the most effective coaches who work with celebrities and large corporate organisations are using and being paid handsomely for, because they get the results they require!

Imagine being able to utilise these to support your young people to reconnect/ create and realise their aspirations

This course was created following the murder of a 15 year old boy in East London, UK in 2001. The whole of the year 11 group pioneered a personal and community development process to support each other during such a challenging period, led by Harry Singha, Chairman of the Youth Coaching Academy.

One young boy of 15 asked Harry how he could become a coach.

This inspired Harry to create a course which, would cover everything that other life coaching courses had and add to it the essentials for coaching young people under 18

Harry dedicated the next three months to create that course. The Youth Coaching Course (YCC) was born, it was awarded a level 3 accreditation by the Open College Network (OCN), the highest level for any coaching course!

There have been a few versions since then as we continue to add value both in the content and delivery. 

There are now two routes to study the Youth Coaching Course via either:

•    Live training - five days residential - £3,997    

[£2,997 for the non residential programmes] 

or

•     The Home Study Programme  - £1,497

What is Youth Coaching?

Simply put it is the process of supporting a young person, using dynamc tools and models to identify clear goals, then ascertain where they are in relation to their goal/s, then create a create some measurable action steps to move even closer to their desired goals. Ultimately to realise their goals . Youth Coaching is now becoming recognised as one of the most effective ways to support young people. 

Coaching increases self-awareness, improves relationships, boosts emotional intelligence and encourages individuals to find their own solutions. The DFES and the National College for School Leadership are producing literature on the evidence of coaching in youth establishments. The governments transforming youth work agenda clearly states the requirement for youth services to carry accreditation and hence anyone considering coaching young people within an educational or youth establishments may not get a look in without it.

Who are the Youth Coaching Academy?

The Academy are the pioneers of Youth Coaching and have the only pool of accredited youth and youth peer coaches. With a Head Office in the UK, the Academy has trained thousands of adults and young people from around the world. Led by Harry Singha the Academy is at the forefront of creating community coaching programmes where Youth/Youth Peer Coaches provide sustainable youth coaching services for their communities. 

Here’s what others are saying about Harry and the Academy

Who will be on the course and why should you?

The course is designed for anyone who has a passion for supporting young people and will have a diversity of participants.
