Coach Learning

Learning arises from attending a structured formal coach education/ learning course.

Outcomes are generally recognised with a qualification and/or certificate (Mallett et al., 2009) .

Learning occurs through a range of non-formal activities that are not usually evaluated and do not lead to certification (Cushion et al., 2010; Mallett et al., 2009) .

Learning takes place in daily work-related settings and in other informal and often incidental ways (Cushion et al., 2010; Mallett et al., 2009) .

Learning is the result of an autonomously led approach to the organisation and attainment of knowledge (Kaufman, 2003) .
