I would recommend this course to anyone considering becoming a coach. You definitely get the quality you pay for with this one, as well as it being accredited by the NHS PCI (whereas others are not). A good investment in YOU.

The course was fantastic. I feel super positive moving forward and I have the confidence to start my own coaching business.
From never doing coaching to finishing 5 days later as a coach was a great experience. Lots of knowledge was given in a short space of time but the course did not feel rushed, the pace was good.
Claire, the teacher was amazing and very profes(…)

Excellent course which definitely highlighted my strengths and areas to improve. I joined to help me with our wellbeing retreats but opened my eyes to new possibilities of setting myself up as a Wellbeing Coach.
Claire is a really excellent course facilitator – I am an Educational Psychologist and learnt a huge amount more than I already knew through my years of experience / training, but it also consolidated things for me as well.
The most important (…)

Overall, this was value for money. There was very good dynamics from the group. A magnitude of information and knowledge to consume over the course of 5 days, but well worth it. Claire made it fun and interesting.
Would definitely recommend thi(…)

Definitely worth doing but do prepare yourself for an intensive week. The concentrated nature of the course may not suit everyone.
The business modules was a great bonus to the Wellbeing course. It lays all the foundations for starting a new business and makes the transition to entrepreneurship less daunting.
