A five-day course for those who want to serve actively as a certified Recovery Coach — coaching clients through early recovery and beyond. A UK sector-first Level 5 accreditation.
Level 5 (previously accredited by OCNCredit4Learning — re-accreditation in progress)
Structure every client engagement — goals, accountability, relapse prevention and day-to-day support.
Support early recovery
Walk alongside clients through the most fragile weeks after treatment, in real life rather than in a facility.
Work with treatment centres
Understand where coaching fits in the chain of care — and how centres, families and coaches work together.
A Level 5 benchmark
Previously externally accredited at Level 5 by OCNCredit4Learning — mapped against degree-level learning. Re-accreditation in progress.

Substance use and behavioural disorders, treatment options and recovery pathways.
03
The coaching toolkit
Goal-setting, action planning, motivation and accountability structures.
04
Ethics & safeguarding
