Some students perform coaching in NGO’s against a symbolic fee of voluntarily. The others make advertising through professionals and social groups. Many students refer their family members or friends for coaching to their Practicum group members. The ethical and practical limitations for accepting a client should be kept in mind. The clients you choose for coaching should be adults and should not be coaching training students, close friends or close relatives and members whom you give team coaching. In addition, you should have an official coaching agreement and provide only coaching service, not consulting, therapy, training services.
There is no provision regarding the payments of the clients. However, we especially urge that you agree with the client at least for a certain type of payment since this would create a commitment.

Practicum laboratory (or shortly laboratory), is an opportunity that provides the participants to explore and examine their coaching experiences as a group. In the laboratories, the students share their coaching experiences, case studies with the class and bring forth questions and issues concerning their experiences and practices. Each coaching laboratory is managed by a faculty member as coordinator who provides perspective from his/ her own experience and theoretical knowledge to these questions and issues. The students have to participate minimum 5 out of 6 of these face-to-face laboratories.
Case studies, which the coach brings to the class, are real situations from current coaching conversations whereby the coach is focused on handling specific issues and increasing his/her effect to maximum degree. The case study presentation have two significant goals: first, deepening of the coaching understanding of all participants and the second, improving the skill and practice of the presenter coach.
