Overview | Coaching Skills Training Courses
Most managers are trained to solve problems. This course trains you to develop the people who solve them.
This course gives you a practical framework for development conversations, so your people grow faster and rely on you less.
You’ll learn non-directive coaching: how to ask the right questions so your team finds their own answers, rather than waiting for yours. The result is a more capable, self-sufficient team and stops you from becoming a bottleneck.
This training works whether you’re a new manager building a team from scratch or an experienced leader looking to get more from the people you already have. MTD Training provides a structured process you can apply immediately, in real conversations, with real results.

FAQs about Coaching Skills Training
What is Coaching Skills Training For Managers?
Coaching skills training for managers is a course that teaches leaders how to develop their people by asking effective questions rather than just providing answers. It’s about learning the difference between a ‘push’ style of communication, like mentoring where you give advice, and the ‘pull’ style of coaching. This course focuses on mastering the ‘pull’ approach to draw solutions out of your team members. This emphasis on moving from directive management to empowering conversations is also a core theme in managerial training, where leaders learn how to build capability rather than dependency.
This method helps you build your team’s capability for the long term, not just solve today’s problem. Over time, this frees up your own time and develops a more resilient and independent team.
As a specialist, MTD Training is a provider of coaching skills training for managers, and we deliver it through in-person workshops. The aim is to give you a toolkit that creates independence and continuous improvement within your team.
What Are The Main Features Of This Training?
The course is led by an experienced facilitator with a clear focus on practical application. Everything you learn is grounded in what works in a real workplace, not just in theory.
At its center, the training is built around the simple and globally recognised GROW model. This gives you a reliable structure you can apply immediately in any coaching conversation.
This is a hands-on workshop, not a passive lecture. Much of the time is dedicated to practice sessions where you will apply the coaching model to common management scenarios and receive direct feedback in a supportive environment.
The course is also CPD certified and assured by the Institute of Leadership & Management, your guarantee of a high standard of quality.
