If you plan to coach in English, communicate effectively in international business or just expand your professional vocabulary, this micro-course will help you gain language confidence and fluency. Unlike conventional English courses, here we focus exclusively on coaching topics, professional terminology and specific language skills that are essential for coaches. Classes are taught by tutors who have completed an EMCC accredited coaching course, which means that discussions and teaching are conducted to a high professional standard.
This course is not just about learning English - it is a professional language training course focused on professional coaching skills in English. The content is tailored to the needs of coaches, mentors and professionals who want to feel confident in the English language when conducting coaching conversations, giving feedback or facilitating workshops. The course includes comprehensive language training with a focus on coaching terminology, so you will learn to use the precise terms needed to communicate effectively with clients and colleagues in English. During the course, you will practice conducting coaching conversations, formulating powerful questions, building trust and active listening in a foreign language. The course also includes simulations of real coaching situations, where you will practice conducting sessions, resolving conflicts or having developmental conversations with clients in English. Emphasis is also placed on fluency and accuracy of expression - the lecturer will guide you to communicate clearly, naturally and without language barriers, giving you greater confidence when working in an international environment.
The course is run in micro-groups (approx. 4 participants), which brings the dynamics of group learning. Working in a small group allows for more interaction, natural conversation and sharing of experiences between participants, which helps not only in learning English but also in developing coaching skills. Discussions, simulations and collaborative problem-solving support learning in practice, with each participant having the opportunity to actively participate and receive feedback from both the tutor and fellow participants. The lecturers of this course are internationally EMCC certified in coaching, so they have a thorough understanding of the topic and know the linguistic challenges of coaching in English. This allows you to address the specific situations you encounter in your practice and get valuable feedback on your language and professional communication. At The Bridge, we believe that language and personal development go hand in hand. This course is therefore not just about improving your grammar and vocabulary, but about truly linking language and coaching skills. By using topics that are close to your heart, you learn English naturally and in a context that you can immediately put into practice.
The course is ideal for coaches who want to extend their practice into an English-speaking environment but feel they are not yet confident enough in the language. It is also suitable for professionals who are interested in coaching topics and want to improve their English - managers, HR specialists, consultants or lecturers.

Colin was born and raised in a small village in Cavan, an agricultural region in the north midlands of Ireland. His province shares a boarder with Northern Ireland and is well known for its 365 lakes and their fishing, as well as its people, infamous in Ireland for being stingy with their money, but he’ll tell you more about that when you’re buying him a coffee!
Since graduating from university in 2015 he’s been working as an English language teacher, a job which has given him opportunities to work in places like Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, England, Spain and now Slovakia.
In his free time he loves reading, but when he´s not reading, he’s moving. He loves skateboarding, rock climbing and various forms of martial arts, as well as taking quiet strolls in nature.
Over the years of teaching, he´s learned that each student is incalculably different, even with similar social backgrounds, professions or abilities. Careful attention must be paid to each student’s strengths, weaknesses, language goals and interests. Once identified, he will aim to bring them into harmony using various teaching methodologies, content and tools.
