Each learning block
will consist of a theoretical component as well as a practical
case study to which 3S tools are to be applied. To complement
the study of each block 3S will provide articles from its
library and suggest the reading of other selected material as
well.
-
Coaches must be able to
complete a practical task or solve a common coaching problem
with 3S tools before being allowed to proceed to the next
learning block.
-
These “role playing
scenarios” are designed to enable a coach to find appropriate
practical solutions to everyday coaching problems, and master
use of the 3S platform. The “case
studies” we utilize have been carefully selected from actual
real-life situations.
-
Some blocks may also
include a conference with a 3S Master Coach to help facilitate
your progress.
-
You may start the
Certification Course at any time. However, the
Final Examination required for 3S
Certification will only be administered in June, September,
December, and March at official
3S Training Centers. (Check the 3S list to find one near
