News: e-learning

In partnership with AMA Coaching School, we are now able to offer e-learning programmes to organisations wanting whole cohorts of people to upskill in applied coaching skills or other managing and leadership skills too. With about 20,000 learners having enrolled in Angus McLeod’s e-learning coaching programmes since 2004, you can be assured that the learning is not tick-box ‘knowledge-only’ learning, but applied learning for use immediately.
