The Professional Practitioner Diploma is designed to enhance your transformational coaching presence, deepen relational and ethical competence, and elevate your impact in today's rapidly evolving landscape. Through this programme, we empower you to expand your self-awareness as a coach and build the capacity to support clients effectively on a global scale.
At Kompass Consultancy, we understand that coaching is an impactful skill that can nurture relationships and bring about positive change in individuals and organisations. We partnered with the AoEC to offer the Professional Practitioner Diploma in Executive Coaching in the GCC and Levant regions.
Our ICF mentor coaches and multilingual faculty will work with you to explore and strengthen your own signature presence as a coach. We deliver diverse perspectives that will expand your coaching knowledge and practise. If you’re already a certified coach, this is your opportunity to be even better and broaden your reach.
Our innovative content has been developed in collaboration with AoEC global faculty, who will facilitate 5 workshops over a 5-month period. The Professional Practitioner Diploma in Executive Coaching will conclude with an assessment day in month 6. This is your opportunity to learn from the unique expertise and insights of esteemed practising coaches worldwide.
ICF mentor coaches move beyond coaching tools and techniques to develop your transformational coaching presence, relationships, and ethics in response to the social, cultural, and ecological realities of the 21st Century.

“I count myself incredibly fortunate to have benefitted from the AoEC’s global pilot of the Professional Practitioner Diploma in Executive Coaching. With faculty from around the world, including my home in the UAE, the depth of learning surpassed every other kind of CPD I have ever experienced.
Building very naturally and creatively on the Practioner Diploma, the PPD took us all into unchartered territory. By inviting, encouraging, and challenging us to explore new, untapped aspects of our coaching, it took our practice to a whole new level. Who we are is how we coach, and the PPD was clearly designed to open us up even further to this truth, creating new areas of thinking, learning, connecting, and coaching. It truly changed not only my practice but also my understanding of who I am as a person. I would wholeheartedly recommend the PPD to any professional coach who is ready to take an exciting and bold step in their coaching journey.”
