End of First module in the School of Education/ACE PGD in Coaching in Education
First module of landmark Postgraduate Diploma concludes with exceptional student feedback.
October 22nd marked an exciting milestone for the School of Education/ACE Postgraduate Diploma in Coaching in Education at University College Cork, Ireland's first university accredited Coaching in Education programme, as students completed the inaugural module of this pioneering new programme.
Participants reported exceptionally high levels of satisfaction, reflecting the programme’s powerful blend of theory, reflection, and practice. This marks an incredible start for a historic initiative designed to open the doors of education, at all levels from early years to higher education, to the transformational potential of coaching in education.
‘We’re thrilled with the energy, insight, and professionalism of our first cohort’ said Programme and Academic Director Dr Joe Moynihan. ‘Their engagement shows how deeply coaching can enrich teaching, leadership, and learning across Ireland’s education system.’
Developed to empower educators and learners alike, the programme positions UCC as a national leader in integrating coaching principles into educational practice, supporting a culture of reflection, collaboration, and growth in our educational organisations.
Currently recruiting for the 2026-2027 cohort of educators to join of for the second group of trailblazers. The future is bright for Coaching in Education. Be the change! Click this link for further information: https://www.ucc.ie/en/ace-pdce/
