1. Overview of Accreditation Alignment

This statement verifies that the Neurocoach Certification Programme, delivered by Neuro Learn Ltd, constitutes a Level 5 professional development qualification. The programme has been rigorously mapped against the Institute of Coaching (IoC) core competencies and the SQA Band of Expectations for higher level vocational professional practice.

2. Rigour of Assessment and Task Structure

To ensure candidates meet the professional standards required of a certified Neurocoach, the programme employs a multi dimensional assessment strategy. Each week, candidates must complete tasks ranging between three hundred and five hundred words, designed to test the following cognitive domains:

• Reflective Tasks: Encouraging the unlearning of deficit based narratives and the integration of neuro-affirming personal philosophies.
• Analytical Tasks: Requiring the deconstruction of complex client profiles and environmental mismatches.
• Synthesis Tasks: Combining neuroscience, communication theory, and the DDP into a unified coaching approach.
• Evaluative Tasks: Critiquing existing coaching models and justifying the selection of adaptive tools and techniques.
• MCQ Tasks: Ensuring a baseline of factual accuracy regarding neurodiversity, ethics, and safeguarding.

3. SQA Band Alignment

The marking and moderation of these tasks are strictly calibrated against SQA Bandings. A successful candidate must consistently demonstrate the Band A (Highly Competent) or Band B (Competent) criteria, exhibiting sophisticated professional reasoning, the consistent use of neuro-affirming language, and a robust ethical stance.
