We partner with AQR International and use the MTQPLUS and ILM72 pyscometric measures. We use these in some of our programmes such as Coaching with Purpose and Leading with Integrity, we are also a corporate member of the EMCC which allows us to grant the EIA accreditations for coaching and mentoring ensuring a high standard always met. This means that you can rest assure that your new qualification is accredited and secured by independent bodies. We also partner and collaborate with other organsiations such as Resilient Pilot, Quantum Rise Talent Group and Giraffe Pad which broadens our knowledge and proposition to offer best solutions for our clients.
We have chosen Giraffe Pad for our learning platform to administrate our Coaching with Purpose programme, this provides a secure space for all participants to engage and be supported throughout the duration of the workshops and beyond.
GiraffePad enables us to manage everything in a single place, to increase learning engagement, to manage all live and virtual sessions and to support each individual participant throughout their learning journey. It helps to foster social learning and encourage peer to peer support and allows us to build and share a library of learning resources.
It is private and secure, it is easy to use and allows us to focus on supporting growth and development.
It provides simplicity in gaining an EIA Coaching and Mentoring accreditation with EMCC Global. The perception of some learners is the process of gaining accreditation is complex and difficult to navigate, Giraffe Pad allows the learners to enjoy the process through reflective activities all under one roof!

About EMCC Global Individual Accreditation (EIA)
The benchmark quality standard for mentoring/coaching training programmes, EQA ensures that successful students meet the research-based competence standards presented in the EMCC Competency Framework. The EQA is valid for five years at which point renewal is required.
EMCC’s European Quality Award (EQA) offers the marketplace the much needed framework to enable the quality of mentoring/coaching services to meet and be recognised for meeting high quality standards of the profession.
Mentoring/coaching training organisations may apply for their programmes to be awarded at one of four levels- we currently offer foundation level awards with higher programmes coming soon.
AQR’s goal is to make high quality psychometric tools and assessments accessible to users of all types – managers, trainers, coaches and teachers – to support them in making better decisions about people. In turn leading to more effective intervention and development.
This means they ensure that AQR’s assessments are:
Diagnosis – To make better decisions to be made about people and their skills, attributes and behaviour. This enables users to select interventions more accurately. This helps to measure change or progress around mindset, attributes and behaviour
Evaluation – To measure the effectiveness of interventions or training and development programmes and assess return on investment
Continuing professional development (CPD) is the intentional maintenance and development of the knowledge and skills needed to perform in a professional context. This could mean honing current skills, it could mean developing them to a new level, or it could mean learning new ones that will allow an employee’s job role to expand or prepare them for potential promotion.
CPD obligations are present in most professions. Most companies and organisations now prioritise them because they ensure a constantly developing workforce.
This means there are millions of professionals across the UK who are required to undertake CPD training every year.
We partner with Resilient Pilot to provide support to the pilot community through coaching and mentoring opportunities.
From Cadets, pilots in training, recently qualified or experienced pilots, Resilient Pilot offers to keep pilots Supported, Connected and Current and in this ever-changing landscape a very welcome source of guidance.
We also provide development opportunities for the Mentors ensuring they provide the very best mentoring practice in line with the EMCC competency framework.
Francis House Children’s Hospice provides care for children, teenagers and young adults with a short life expectancy. From its base in Didsbury, the hospice supports more than 500 families from all over the North West, providing specialist care in a homely, happy and secure place. Francis House operates 365 days a year, helping children and young adults with life-limiting conditions live life to the full and offering much needed support, friendship and encouragement to their families. Over £4.7 million in charitable donations is needed annually to continue providing these vital services, which include respite care, sibling support, end of life care and bereavement support.
123 People Development supports this charity by offering volunteering in the hospice and creating fundraising opportunities.
This charity is very close to our hearts after we lost our beautiful nephew Wesley to meningitis back in 2003. Francis House very kindly offered the use of their Rainbow room which gave us valuable time with Wesley before we had to say our goodbyes.
