The purpose of the EMCC Global Framework for Team Coaching is to provide a description of a Team Coach at four distinct ‘indicative’ levels of professional expertise, linked directly to learning outcomes, incorporating knowledge, understanding, skills, behaviours and experience. This enables team coaches, education and training providers and organisations to fully understand and respond to the breadth, depth, development and progression of the role.
Learning outcomes, secured via accredited education and training OR equivalent validated prior learning and experience, provide an important instrument for planning, determining indicative levels, for internal and external professional dialogue, and transferrable learning credit value across sector and geographical borders. ECTS is the credit system for higher education used in the European Higher Education Area, involving all countries engaged in the Bologna Process. Learning Outcomes are defined in terms of knowledge, skills, responsibility and autonomy aligned to the European Qualifications Framework, European Higher Education Area and the Frameworks for Higher Education in the UK.
