Coaching Professional
Business Coaching
Coaching Professional is a Level 5 programme is desgined for those in coaching roles, engaging and empowering individuals and teams to enhance their professional performance.
Programme Description
The Coaching Professional programme, developed in partnership with employers, responds to the growing demand for innovative approaches to future ways of working by supporting others to develop their own self-belief. The programme aims to empower both the coach and the individuals they support, equipping them to collaborate, innovate, and adapt to an increasingly volatile working environment.
Throughout the programme, learners build a strong foundation of coaching knowledge, skills, and behaviours, working towards their End Point Assessment (EPA), which focuses on demonstrating the essential competencies of an effective coach.
Long term we’re setting up learners to make a lasting impact, preparing them to become forward-thinking coaches who bring out the best in others, lead meaningful change, and drive continuous improvement in their roles and across the business.

This programme is delivered entirely remotely and can be delivered one-to-one, or if an employer has multiple learners, we can provide a closed cohort approach (monthly or quarterly) while still offering individual support.
Learners will meet with their tutor once a month for the knowledge-based part of the programme. Between sessions, assignments will be set and completed through our online platform, Smart Assessor. Every 12 weeks a progress review will take place, which line managers should attend, to discuss progress on programme.
Learners must be able to commit to the programme, have the support of your employer and your job role must align with programme requirements to demonstrate the competencies needed to pass the End Point Assessment. For the coaching programme learners must have at least two people to coach.
Employers enrolling learners can set their own entry criteria but to be eligible for funding learners must:
- Have been a UK resident for 3+ years or be part of an EU Settlement Scheme, spending at least 50% of time working in England.
- Hold a contract of employment and work at least 16 hours per week.
- Not be enrolled in another government funded programme
- Have achieved Level 2 or equivalent (grade 4+ at GCSE) in English and maths before they are put forward to End Point Assessment. If this has not been achieved, we are able to offer this as part of the apprenticeship.
After the learning phase is completed, the learner, employer, and Intec will meet to determine if you are ready to proceed to the End Point Assessment (EPA). The EPA, conducted by an external End Point Assessment Organisation (EPAO), will evaluate whether you have demonstrated the necessary knowledge, skills, and behaviours to meet the required standards. Learners can achieve a Pass or Distinction based on their performance.
The EPA has three parts:
| Duration | Details | Weighting | |
