Level 5 Coaching Professional Apprenticeship

Empowering Health & Social Care Professionals with Coaching Expertise

Our Coaching Professional Level 5 Apprenticeship

At TPC Health, we are committed to transforming the health and social care sector through coaching. Our apprenticeships are perfect for organisations that aspire to create a coaching culture at all levels of their structure and service provision. Our health coaching training interventions bring the coaching approach and all its evidence-based benefits directly into the clinical environment, maximising personalised care for patients, supporting staff engagement and ensuring efficiency gains for organisations. Our health coaching interventions can be structured to meet all the requirements of the Coaching Professionals Apprenticeship

With the ever-increasing pressure on our health and care systems, the effective use of coaching is transforming the sector and revolutionising the way in which health and social care services are delivered.

The Level 5 Coaching Professional Apprenticeship is designed to develop confident, skilled coaching practitioners who can embed coaching principles across health, social care, and community settings. It supports learners to use coaching as a vehicle for change — with individuals, teams, and systems. This programme equips apprentices with advanced communication techniques, structured coaching models, and a deep understanding of human behaviour and motivation. Learners build confidence in using coaching to enhance patient care, improve team dynamics, and support organisational change — all while building a strong, reflective coaching identity.

This apprenticeship is ideal for professionals in health, care, and community roles who want to develop and embed coaching into their work. It is especially suited to those in more senior practitioner roles who support individuals with behaviour change, long-term conditions, self-management, or staff and leadership development.

TPC Health can now partner with you and deliver coaching solutions for your organisation and system, utilising the coaching professionals coaching programme. Our funded Level 5 Coaching Professional Apprenticeship equips professionals with the skills to integrate coaching into their roles, enhancing patient care, practitioner wellbeing, and organisational effectiveness.
