Fancy an upgrade?
If at any point you want to upgrade to the diploma, this work all counts as part of your study.
The tutors were supportive and engaging, their feedback boosted my confidence and offered plenty of valuable suggestions.
Highly recommend this diploma! Thank you for everything 🙂
The course materials are substantial, highly relevant and aligned with current societal/world challenges. The community of learners and instructors is very active, and you will benefit from support in your training journey.
Thorough course, teaching all the fundamentals of ethical wellness coaching, coaching models and other considerations. It was great to have the option of choice of additional modules to supplement the 3 main ones, adding to my knowledge and skill set.
Jo was always very helpful, friendly, supportive and responsive which also added to my positive experience. Highly recommend!
There was a great emphasis on developing and practising real coaching skills with real people, rather than theory alone like some courses out there.
There's great supervision and many CPD options after completion, so I know that I can continue to develop my skills and knowledge as my business grows.
I now have CMA membership and public liability insurance, and my coaching business is up and running.
I'd recommend Wellness Professionals At Work to anyone looking to train in wellness coaching.
My word, I am still buzzing. It is incredible how much you can learn in a relatively short amount of time.
It was intense, it was eye-opening, it was fun, it was tough, it was emotional but most of all, it was one of the best CPD courses I have ever done (and I have done loads...).
We learned the difference between coaching and counselling, we learned techniques to use in order to ask relevant questions, we learned a lot about what can hold us back from what we actually want to do, we learned about mindsets, we learned about change, we learned about Cognitive Behavioural Coaching, we learned about working with GOALS, we learned about building rapport and sooooo much more. We also coached each other whilst being observed and received honest feedback afterwards (that bit was rather nerve wracking).
You may wonder why I went onto this course. Many of my clients don't just come for the holistic therapy they booked in but also to find a safe and non-judgemental space to be able to talk. I feel a lot better equipped now and am more aware of how to react to certain situations.
It is highly likely I will carry on with more coaching training as right now I would certainly not call myself a life-coach (but I know that it seems a bit trendy to do so despite lack of training...).
I hope you can tell that I am very excited about the newly acquired skills to use for my clients but also for myself and my family.
Can you see why I am toying with the idea of doing more coaching training?
