Life Coaching Diploma

After some research (and scepticism) I bought the Life Coaching Course with the help of a bursary and payment plan. It has proved to be an enlightening course with an unending amount of support offered alongside it - money well spent, I feel I shall be well equipped when I have completed it.

Fantastic 3 sessions from Kristi

Fantastic 3 sessions from Kristi. She kept the interest high and engaged the group with the perfect amount of energy. The course content was quite conceptual, but still very interesting, helped by some really enthusiastic teaching.
Another big win for the Coaching Academy !

Will impact my coaching practice 100%

Incredible CPD that will no doubt improve my practice. Have been introduced to new ideas, practices and models AND expanded on existing. Andrea Giraldez is so knowledgeable, and delivers training that equally expands your knowledge-base and provides space for meaningful practice of the craft. Would highly recommend for coaches, mentors and educators.

A great and trusted resource for coaches at every level

I have been learning with the Coaching Academy for about 15 years - through its in-person courses, workshops and events. In the last few years, I've benefitted greatly from the growing variety of online content and live events. As a student, I've really appreciated the resources and support from the TCA that have helped me gain my Diploma in Personal and Professional Coaching. With a diverse range of information and guidance, the Coaching Academy is my go-to for any questions and help with my coaching development.

Fantastic live module training

There aren’t enough words to describe how fantastic this training was. Kristi was so engaging and inspiring - I left the training feeling totally empowered.
A perfect blend of teaching, interactive chat and break out rooms. I took away so much knowledge and learning from the Empowering the Coaching Relationship Module.
