Bringing the contributions of neuroscience closer to the daily practice of the professional, in relation to the latest research on the brain, is a necessity and a responsibility that psychologists, especially child psychologists, have to assume, as they are far from having a clear knowledge of how the brain works in the complex learning situations that often arise in the classroom and other educational contexts.

Educational Coaching is a comprehensive process of accompaniment through the implementation of professional techniques, focused on the acquisition, development and strengthening of the necessary competencies to achieve the objectives set by coachees who are agents of the educational system (Bécart, 2015).
For Whitmore (2011), "Coaching is about unleashing a person's potential to maximize performance. It's about helping you learn rather than teaching you" This way of understanding "learning" makes Coaching a privileged methodology for direct intervention in the classroom. Its basic tool is the question.

Coaching has become a tool that contributes to the development of strategies that favor the personal and professional growth of those who strive to proactively achieve success (Ravier, 2005). It can be understood as a comprehensive process that seeks to help patients achieve their goals in various areas.

In addition, it improves performance, deepens self-knowledge and improves the quality of life, providing learning that generates behavioral transformation sustained over time, with continuous actions and reflections (Carrera and Luz, 2008).  Its purpose, as Whitmore (2003) points out, is to improve people's performance through the factors that can enhance it and by stimulating their ability to learn how to learn.

This program combines basic knowledge in neurosciences and Educational Coaching, tools that allow the psychologist to seek to improve the performance of their patients in those areas that people demand, guide them to change and focus them on the present situation through the tools and resources of Coaching. 

This educational degree, in addition to helping you consolidate your position in the sector, will allow you to update your knowledge in an area that increasingly demands specialized psychologists"

This Postgraduate diploma in Educational Coaching and Neurosciences: Active Methodologies and Educational Innovation for Psychologists contains the most complete and up to date scientific program on the market. The most important features include:
