The training facilitates the sharing of ideas and building rapport with like-minded students, guided by the expertise of Claire Maguire.
I was initially wary of doing a 5 day course online but actually, it was easier than in person as the breaks are in your home where you can do what you need to do, unlike in person conferences. That made it easier for me.
This course is excellent and covers, in detail, all aspects of wellbeing coaching.
The Wellbeing Coach Training with Claire was utterly fantastic in every way. Thank you!

I’m so glad I finally took this course. It’s incredibly well structured and Claire delivers the content expertly. It’s incredible how much information you can take in, in just 5 days, without it feeling rushed.
It is with heartfelt gratitude that I can say that this course was one of the best decisions I have undertaken.
I now feel confident to apply for jobs and work with future clients, knowing that I have a solid base to work from.
This course has not only helped me gain the information that will help me coach others for a better future but also has helped me personally.
The course is very well designed and gives you the confidence to start working as a coach immediately. Thank you Raw Horizons team for all the support.
