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 someone to be your client for a short session. During the practical examination,
the examiner can stop you at any time to ask questions.
After 30-45 minutes or so, 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 expect you to demonstrate building
trust, diagnosing a systemic complaint, handling some objections, suggesting
potential solutions and discussing 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, which is required for registration
as a Systemic Coach.
