CE Advantage

Discovery plan

CE firmly supports the need for each of its learners to enhance their own self-development through the medium of self and peer coaching. In-depth self-discovery is an essential requirement and not just an optional requirement.

Self-discovery shall lead to a distinctive and high-level learning experience stemming from high impact training provided by the academy. High level performance is founded on effective analysis of the self and deep levels of awareness and self-awareness.

Self-discovery within the framework of the course can be established as follows:

• 

  Action 1 - Focus on the quality of outcomes of the personal work as measured by the ICF descriptors and the EMCC indicators.

• 

  Action 2 - Help participate in events and activities, both, within the school and the broader community that showcase personal development.

• 

  Action 3 - Pursue collaboration with the industry to enhance professional development and skills improvement.

• 

  Action 4 - Apply all theory learnt during the course to self first.

CE has focused its attention on improving student engagement. This means not only providing them with the right answers through the Learner Support system but by encouraging them to ask the right questions.  

In addition, CE supports actual engagement. Learners are required to act as coaches in their real life and within the classroom environment from their very first day. It allows them to start thinking and acting like coaches because it generates the right questions, conversation, ideas and issues that need to be solved.
