During the Post-TOT assignment phase, qualifying participants receive a special edition of individual e-coaching tailored to the needs of ILO financial education trainers. The e-coaching is provided for participants of this certification programme.
The e-coaching follows a unique trainers’ coaching methodology applied within the ILO and ITC ILO Social finance certification programmes. It is provided as a written structured feedback and a thorough evaluation of the work that candidates will have conducted in their countries. Occasionally meetings with senior trainers may be organized.
The purpose of the e-coaching in this programme is to guide qualifying participants towards fulfilling certification requirements by gradual improvement of delivery skills from one session to another, for a total of 3 required sessions.
