Training as 
nature-based Coach

Working with people in nature is the most fulfilling task I can imagine. It's not only that I personally feel most comfortable outside, I can also support other people to get this wonderful feeling and their personal mental freedom back as well.

If you too would like to coach people in a nature-based manner, my flexible and comprehensive basic or therapist training offer a solid and secure entry into your new profession. I am looking forward, to meet you perhaps personally in one of my practising-weeks this year.

20-minute information session

Trust is the beginning of everything. Therefore, in addition to the facts, it is important to me that both sides feel comfortable in personal contact.

A short (of course free) phone call or zoom meeting in advance is therefore expressly desired and also offers the opportunity to respond to individual questions about the training.

max. 3 hours included

hands-on nature-based coaching

Before you start your training, we will talk about you and your plans. Together we will get to the bottom of your goal: Why do you want to work in a nature-based way? How do you want to work in the future? What do you personally need and what do you not need?

optionally

Basic training as a psychological counselor

For everyone for whom the preventive approach of coaching is simply not enough, there is now the opportunity to use the techniques learned in counseling / therapy. The additional training as a psychologist. Counselor or, with a state examination, then to become an alternative practitioner for psychotherapy, also offers the opportunity to enter nature-based therapy.

In combination with the basic training to become a nature coach (the techniques of which can all be used therapeutically), the combination training is a solid starting point for anyone who wants to work with people more in a therapeutic context.

optionally

start-up coaching

Starting out on your own is not always easy, especially in the area of psychosocial professional groups. In order to save yourself unnecessary time and money when starting your own professional future, I also offer special coaching for beginners in addition to the training.

Goals and scope can be agreed individually. Working many years in the fields of business and IT, I can offer profound coaching and consulting skills for starting your own business if required.

No matter how good and complete the training may be, in practice there are often questions or challenges that are sometimes easier to deal with with a little support from experienced colleagues.

All advantages at a glance


Start at any time with a free time management

Learn where- and whenever you want

By decoupling theory and practice, we are now breaking new ground in the training process. The eLearning platform offers a maximum individual learning freedom combined with intensive practical training. Start the training exactly when you want, instead of waiting for the next course date. This offers optimal learning opportunities in addition to family and professional commitments. With a regular effort of 4 up to 6 hours per week, you need approx. 8 to 10 weeks before you can take the theoretical exam .

In self-study, but not alone ...

For individual support and questions on the your topics of any eLearning module, we are also available for you by telephone or via web meeting, as part of an included time contingent.

Practicing week either in Norway, Sweden or Germany

From my point of view learning without personal guidance, exercise and practice might be possible, but it is not qualitatively effective in coaching. Too much would fall by the wayside. Therefore, after you have completed the theoretical part with a short exam, you can choose freely from practical modules / practical weeks offered several times a year. Decide for yourself when and where you want to participate. The practicing weeks take place as face-to-face classes in spring and autumn at different locations (Norway, Sweden or Northern Germany).

Notes: Depending on the number of participants, the practical course lasts 6 days (with up to 3 participants) or 7 days (4 to 6 participants). The practical week is only included in the training variants NC basic and NC combined training.


Last but not least

Graduation, examination and thesis

Overview of the two or three sections of the exam:

Part 1 is the theoretical exam, which must be taken after the theoretical part has been completed. Here, the contents of the self-study via eLearning are queried online in a short multiple-choice test. The exam is always offered 1 to 2 weeks before each practical module (spring, autumn) or on the weekend before the start of the live online seminars.

The second part is the work with one's own test person. After completing the practical days / live online seminars, each participant has to carry out and record a small coaching session in his region with a test person / client of his choice. This is then submitted and discussed in detail.

(only for NC basic and NC combined training, not for online training!)
The course concludes with a thesis (about 20-25 DinA4 pages) on the subject of nature coaching , which can be created during training.

NC basic and combined training: The flexible training concept combines the advantages of online seminars and freely selectable face-to-face modules. Start at any time, even without a fixed course start!

 

Thanks to the new e-Learning platform, the theoretical training can be effortlessly adapted to your schedule, familiar needs or everyday work.
