A new CPD programme from UXC, built on decades of innovation, change and coaching experience, five doctorates, and the direct experience of training and supervising over a thousand coaching practitioners at national scale. Foundation through to specialist. For coaches who want to work skilfully in environments where the change doesn't pause.
The coaches we encounter, in our own practice, in the organisations we work with, in the teams we've trained, are operating in environments their training didn't prepare them for. Strategy refreshing mid-engagement. Technology changing between sessions. The client's role potentially not existing in eighteen months.
Most coach training assumes the world stands still while your client thinks. Ours doesn't.
We have been working at the forefront of innovation and organisational change for decades. We know how to coach people through it. We know which models hold and which break down. We know what coaches need that they're not currently being given. This programme is our attempt to make that available to the sector, at the scale we can't reach one engagement at a time.
The gap between what coaches are trained to do and what their clients actually need has never been wider. Plug-and-play models don't hold in environments where the ground shifts between sessions.
This isn't a diagnosis based on opinion. We've seen it in the organisations we work with, in the practitioners we've trained and supervised, and in the feedback from teams who've been coached through major change.
Formulation before model. Coaching across change cycles. Behavioural economics for coaches. Foundation through specialist, each stage standing alone or progressing to UXC certification.
This programme isn't designed by people who coach and decided to teach. It's led by the two founders who built and ran a national coaching organisation, supported by a faculty of proven expert coaches from the UXC impact network, every one with a real track record in what they teach.
Craig accelerates teams, leaders and innovation towards productivity, psychological safety and impact. Much of his work has been formally evaluated, with the results reported in national white papers and peer-reviewed journals. He coaches at every scale, from GP-practice teams to NHS England national programme leads. Momentum and impact, from strategic innovation.
Cordet is the firm's specialist in evaluation and complex research, the work that shows whether change actually landed. Her depth is the differentiator: 8 degrees including 2 doctorates, with command of research methods, quantitative and qualitative analysis, ethics and impact reporting. A qualified Occupational Psychologist, she turns rigorous evidence into organisational and leadership change. She is also the creator of MIRROR, a specialist intervention that repairs communication in boards and complex teams.
Specialists from the UXC impact network contribute to the programme, each with a real track record in what they teach. A fuller gallery is coming, this is the shape of it.
Both Craig and Cordet are BPS Chartered Psychological Coaches at doctoral level, the highest professional standard in coaching psychology.
Project5 was a free national wellbeing and coaching service for NHS staff, built by Craig and Cordet at the start of COVID and run entirely by volunteers. At its peak it delivered over 4,000 sessions per week.
Building and running that service required us to design a complete training and supervision infrastructure for over a thousand practitioners, with governance standards, quality assurance, impact reporting and evidence collection. This programme is built on what we learned.
It was recognised with a Prime Minister's Points of Light award and closed in 2025 having fully met its founding mission.
The full curriculum is being released with the prospectus. These are the four areas the programme is built around, each one grounded in decades of innovation, change and coaching experience.
Coaching that meets your client's actual complexity, not a framework that doesn't fit. Formulation is the clinical psychology approach to understanding what's actually happening before designing any intervention. Most coaches aren't taught it. All of them need it.
Practical skills for environments where the situation moves between sessions. How to hold a client's development when their context keeps shifting. How to work with uncertainty as the medium, not the obstacle.
The science of what happens when no one's coaching, how people actually make decisions under pressure, in groups, in organisations. Applied directly to the coaching context. Changes how you listen, what you notice, and how you intervene.
Enter at the level that fits you. Each stage stands alone as a complete CPD unit, or progresses toward UXC certification. New coaches, experienced coaches, and senior coaches wanting to specialise all have a clear pathway through the programme.
Led by Craig and Cordet, in collaboration with proven expert coaches from our impact network. Every practitioner who contributes to the programme has a real track record. Nobody is introduced as an expert without the CV to back it up.

We keep cohorts intentionally small. The learning depends on peer interaction and supervision quality, both require a group small enough to know each other.
Each stage is designed to be entered at the right level. You don't need to start from the beginning if you're already experienced. The programme meets you where you are.
Each stage stands alone as a CPD unit. Completing the full programme leads to UXC certification, designed to BPS professional standards by Cordet Smart.
