Is this course right for you?

Our take
Chartered psychologist Dr Gemma Leigh Roberts makes the case, on LinkedIn Learning, that coaching is a core management skill rather than an optional extra.

Good for: Managers adding an evidence-based coaching approach.

Skip if: You want a professional coaching certification or long-form depth.

In about forty minutes it covers evidence-based coaching models and how to coach across cultures and change — short and research-grounded, which suits a manager who wants to bring a coaching approach to leading their team. It won't take you to a professional coaching certification or offer long-form depth, and isn't trying to. It rides on a LinkedIn Learning subscription (usually a free trial first; free via many libraries), with a profile certificate that notes completion rather than certifying skill. The coaching principles it draws on are well established (as of 2026).

Frequently asked questions

No. It teaches managers coaching skills — how to develop, support, and bring out strong performance from their team through a coaching approach — but it is not a professional coaching certification like those from the ICF. It gives you practical coaching techniques to use as a manager, which is genuinely valuable, but it does not qualify you as a certified professional coach, which requires dedicated accreditation.

Managers and team leaders who want to adopt a coaching style — helping team members grow, solving problems through guidance rather than instruction, and adapting to a changing workplace. It assumes a management or team-lead context, so it suits people responsible for others' development. Aspiring managers can also benefit from understanding what coaching leadership looks like before taking it on.

It is short — typically an hour or two — as a focused LinkedIn Learning course. That makes it an efficient way to pick up coaching techniques to use with your team, without a large time commitment. Coaching skill deepens with practice, so treat the runtime as the grounding and your real coaching conversations as where it develops.

Not by default — it runs on LinkedIn Learning, which is subscription-based — but a free trial is common, and many public libraries and universities give members full access at no cost. Check whether a library card or an institution you belong to already provides LinkedIn Learning before paying, since that quietly unlocks this course and the whole catalogue.

Yes, you earn a LinkedIn Learning completion certificate for your profile — but note it is not a coaching certification. Treat it as a signal of professional development; a recognised coaching credential is a separate, accredited pursuit. The real value is the practical coaching techniques for managers, which show up in how you develop your team rather than the certificate.
