As an added bonus, Transformational Coaching graduates can receive partial credit towards a Leadership certification or Master’s of Arts in Leadership and Management at Briercrest! For more information on taking Transformational Coaching for credit, please contact the Coordinator of the Leadership Centre, Ellen Duffield. 

Through the Leadership Centre, Briercrest offers Leadership Certifications.  Each certification requires a student to take 4 courses through the Seminary, and then to gain certification from some outside body which gives them partial credit towards their final certification requirement. Once they have completed that course (ie, Transformational Coaching), they will create a contractual syllabus (independent study) that “tops up” their prior work to fulfill what a master’s-level course needs. Once they complete the extra work, they will be awarded a Leadership Certification in Coaching (or whatever discipline they have chosen out of the 5 currently approved).

 Students can also follow a similar procedure to complete an independent study course connected to taking the TC course and they will get credit towards their Master’s degree.
