Perspectives
The purpose of this article was to share an overview of coaching and coach education in Portugal, which has been strongly influenced by the EU coaching framework. The current coach education structure in Portugal features four levels (grades), and recognizes the influence of formal education along with acknowledging the role of coaching experience while promoting coaching qualifications. Nevertheless, the growing qualification exigency with more hours dedicated to coaching courses, the practicum stage as fundamental to achieve the certification, the stimulation of the mentoring process and lifelong education are crucial steps for improving the quality of coaching in Portugal.
