This optional examination is normally
taken to complete our systemic coach training. Are you a helping
professional? How well would you do? (Many answers are at this website!)
This coaching examination is in two parts -
Practical and Oral. The examination can be recorded in either audio or video
format. This examination costs the equivalent of four hours of private coaching
with the examiner and takes about 2-3 hours.

Systemic Coach Practical Examination (About 60 minutes)
Either your examiner will role play a client, or you may be
assigned a real client for a short private session. During the practical examination,
the examiner can stop you at any time to ask questions.
After 30-45 minutes, the examiner will ask you about the
steps you took, your purpose, your expectations and your results. (We do
NOT expect you to resolve issues in this time - we do expect you to build
trust, diagnose a systemic complaint, handle some objections, suggest
potential solutions and discuss possible consequences.
Systemic Coach Oral Examination (About 60-90 minutes)
The oral examination has 32 questions, and each
question has three possible marks, with an extra 4 marks for question 1.
An overall score of 80 or more is a PASS. A PASS is required for registration
as a Systemic Coach..
