High standards of coaching

Having explored the activity of the most successful coaches and after conducting a range of experimental studies, the ECF developed a flexible and universal training approach for coaches of any area of expertise and applicable for work with any kind of clients. We call it the 3D Coaching Ⓡ CEC ECF, patent (EU) М 66 041. As the ECF training approach consists of three elements, it can be referred to as a “three dimensional coaching”.
