Stage Two - Report Interpretations / Case Studies

• This stage has two different modules.  Module 4 is about using your user-management system to support administration and management of all of your engagement data and iREAP reports.
  Module 5 is about learning how to make accurate and valid report interpretations.  It involves completing two different case studies.  
• A series of 9 simulation case studies have been developed (one for each of the cells in the Engagement Risk and Opportunity Matrix®) which have a scenario and then an extract of the relevant iREAP™ report.
• You will also be asked to complete and submit in writing to your Accreditation Assessor, a written interpretation on one of these case studies.  You are required to analyse the case study scenario, interpret their report and identify potential coaching or focal areas for the respondent.  This constitutes Case Study 1 of your assessment.
• Your assessor will select which of the 9 simulation case studies you will complete.
• The final activity is to prepare for a "real" coaching session by working with your Accreditation Assessor to interpret the results of one of your clients iREAP reports. This constitutes Case Study 2 of your assessment.
