Welcome to the Business Coaching Foundation


Here at the Business Coaching Foundation we are experts at delivering results. Coaching and mentoring help you and your business to achieve the tangible, measurable and instantaneous results that you desire. Let us give you the skills that will take you forward and make you stand out from the crowd.

All of our solutions are designed around the clients' specific requirements; never losing focus on what the programme needs to achieve. By using our huge wealth of knowledge and expertise within the coaching, mentoring, learning & development and business arenas, we can build you a unique and ground-breaking programme that is guaranteed to gain the desired results.

Either let us give you the skills to become a professionally qualified business coach and excel within your company, or let us give you the focus and drive to achieve all of your goals and aspirations via 1-2-1 coaching. Choose from a highly bespoke intervention or a selection of Institute of Leadership & Management (ILM) coaching options; for example, our widely recognised and well regarded ILM Level 5 Business Coaching Certificate Programme. Or, alternatively, choose from a range of non-accredited business coaching courses; all of which are designed to deliver you the desired skill-set for success. Every business coaching option that you require - bespoke or accredited - is catered for at the Business Coaching Foundation.

Our expertise also expands into other areas of learning & development; or 'Other Expertise'. Let us devise and build a programme that is specifically tailored to your organisation and its' future goals and aspirations. For over 25 years, even before the inception of the Business Coaching Foundation, we have been creating and delivering bespoke learning & development solutions on a global scale for large corporate clients as well as individuals. Let us create a programme for you that will inspire, drive and deliver commercial results in areas such as leadership, management, interpersonal skills, sales and customer care.

I thought the course was brilliant and quite life changing (not wishing to be too dramatic about it). I came away a changed person.

The Business Coaching Foundation's ILM Level 5 coaching programme is an excellent course for anyone involved with coaching. It teaches you theories and gives you practical experience of coaching. All felt very comfortable and I learnt lots of new skills. Thank you.

Senior Trainer (Design) - Nationwide Building Society


This is the first Business Coaching Foundation course that I have attended and I was very impressed not only with the course content and structure of the course, but also the quality of the trainer. As a result of my experience I will definitely consider the BCF for course provision in the future.

Superintendent - Gloucestershire Constabulary


Overall I feel this experience will absolutely enhance my performance as a business coach. I love it when you come away from a development programme with lots of practical tips that can be applied in the workplace immediately. Worth taking two days out of the office; can see real return on investment. Well facilitated, informal, interesting with plenty of healthy discussions.
