Every two weeks one of Notion’s expert Tutors hosts an hour-long interactive workshop and Q&A session that anyone on the STAR^® programme can attend. It is a great opportunity for learners to ask any questions that they have (be that about the programme content or how to apply it) and hear others’ questions too. It includes breakout sessions where learners share best practice and what’s working for them. Learners can attend as many Live Learning Stations as they wish over the duration of their programme. They are completely optional and provide additional opportunities for learners who enjoy collaborative learning, working with others, as well as offering additional support and direct access to world class tutors.

A Practitioner Session is a 90-minute, interactive small group Zoom session with up to 3 other learners and supervised by an expert Notion Tutor. It provides the opportunity for you to participate in a structured group session to further embed and develop the skills you’ve learnt on the programme. You’ll discuss, share insights and then practise some of the tools you’ve learned by coaching the other participants, demonstrating active living and giving and and receiving feedback. The Notion Tutor also provides specific verbal and written feedback to each participant. Participation in two Practitioner Sessions is a requirement for learners on the Certified STAR® Manager Practitioner programme and for candidates wanting to upgrade from Certified STAR® Manager to the Level 6 Certified Master Coach graduate qualification programme.

We recommend you aim to spend around 1-hour per week working on the programme, with the aim to complete a module a week. This time can be divided across a number of activities, such as completing the eLearning module, carrying out other programme activities, completing workplace Missions and reflecting on your performance in the Learning Logs.

The programme is designed so that STAR® Coach can be completed in approx. 3 months and STAR^® Manager Practitioner programme in 6 months.

Absolutely! The STAR^® programme will provide you with great new tools to improve the engagement and motivation of your team members by using an ‘enquiry-led’ approach. You may find that the first ten modules that make up STAR^® Coach are directly applicable to you, but there are also modules in STAR^® Manager, such as Handling Challenging Conversations and Giving Great Feedback that will also be helpful in your role.

Completing the entire programme will undoubtedly give you a comprehensive set of practical skills to change your management style and to be able to support the development of others. Depending on your role and your objectives, you may also achieve transformative results from taking just the first set of 10 modules that make up STAR^® Coach. The programme gives you complete flexibility and a number of options to choose the journey that your learners complete.
