Our VIP ILM Coaching Programme

One to One. Flexible. Built Around You.

Are fixed programme dates impossible to commit to?
Do you need development that works around your diary, not the other way round?
Would you value focused, personal attention rather than group learning?

For some senior professionals, flexibility is not a luxury.
It is essential.
And that is exactly why we offer our VIP one to one pathway.

This approach allows you to undertake the ILM programme with dedicated individual tuition, shaped entirely around your availability, pace, and professional context.

It is development on your terms.

What Is the VIP Service?

Our VIP service is a fully personalised version of our ILM coaching programme delivered one to one.

No fixed cohort dates.
No group timetable.
No competing diaries.

Instead, we design a schedule that aligns with you.

This is particularly suited to senior leaders, directors, HR professionals, and executives who cannot easily commit to set workshop dates due to travel, board commitments, or unpredictable workloads.

We understand that senior roles are demanding.
Your time is precious.
Your calendar changes quickly.

The VIP pathway respects that reality.

What You Gain with One-to-One Tuition

The most powerful advantage of the VIP route is focus.

Every session is tailored.
Every conversation is relevant.
Every discussion centre on your context.

You receive dedicated tutor attention throughout the programme. This allows us to explore your organisational challenges in depth. We can apply coaching models directly to your real-world scenarios. We can pause, probe, and personalise in a way that group settings sometimes limit.

You move at your pace.
You deepen where it matters.
You accelerate where you are confident.

For many senior individuals, this creates an intensely valuable learning experience.

You are not just learning coaching theory.
You are integrating it into your leadership identity.

The Trade Off to Consider

It is important to be honest.

In choosing the VIP one to one pathway, you do not receive the same peer interaction that comes with an open group programme.

There are no shared breakout conversations.
No cross-sector perspectives.
No live peer coaching circles.

For many learners, group energy sparks insight. It creates challenge. It broadens thinking through diverse experiences.

That element is reduced in a one-to-one format.

However, for some professionals, this is not a disadvantage.

It is a preference.

Why This Approach Works Perfectly for Some

Senior leaders often operate in unique contexts. They may want to discuss confidential organisational issues. They may need to explore sensitive cultural dynamics. They may prefer space to think aloud without an audience.

The VIP pathway provides that safe and focused environment.

You can explore strategic challenges openly.
You can test ideas honestly.
You can receive direct and constructive feedback.

For those who value privacy, intensity, and bespoke learning, this approach feels empowering rather than limiting.

It removes scheduling friction.
It removes diary pressure.
It removes unnecessary distraction.

And in its place, it delivers clarity and precision.

Still Fully Aligned to ILM Standards

Whether you choose the VIP pathway or the open programme, the standards remain high.

You still cover the full curriculum.
You still undertake coaching practice.
You still meet the assessment requirements if you choose to complete the qualification.

The difference is not in quality.
It is in delivery style.

You can still opt to complete the portfolio and gain the formal ILM qualification. Or you can complete the learning journey and receive Coaching Focus endorsement if that better aligns with your goals.

Flexibility does not mean compromise.

Is the VIP Pathway Right for You?

This option is ideal if:

You are a senior leader with a demanding diary.
You travel frequently or operate internationally.
You value bespoke, confidential discussion.
You prefer focused one to one development.

It may not be the right fit if you thrive on peer interaction and group debate. In that case, our open programmes provide rich collaborative learning.

The key is alignment.

Your development should energise you, not exhaust you.
It should stretch you, not stress you.

If a personalised, flexible pathway would enable you to fully commit to your coaching development, our VIP service could be exactly what you need.
