Attend a coaching course previously sold for £500 and get the training absolutely free*

In just two days, we’ll give you inspiration, insight and information to help you decide if this could be the start of your most exciting career choice yet.

“When I saw the training was free* I thought there must be a catch – there wasn’t. I had a great learning experience and never felt under any pressure to come on other courses. However, the following week I booked on two diploma courses and can’t wait to get started!” Michael Finch

For two exciting days, discover whether coaching is right for you, why The Coaching Academy is the number one choice for professional coaches and which type of coaching suits your personality…

“Excellent 2 days of great value, humour and fun. I am intending to pursue this further. Thankyou!” Amy Kirkham

This Certificate in Personal Coaching might qualify for The Guinness Book of Records as the most attended coaching weekend in history! In the last eight years, over 15,000 people from 52 different countries have attended this weekend and it has launched the careers of the majority of professional coaches in the UK.

 

That’s because you cannot get this quality of information or this degree of interactive training from such professional and experienced trainers anywhere else for £97, let alone free*!

“If you want to work with and for people and you want to be inspired, then join The Coaching Academy. They say what they mean and mean what they say.” Joan Ryan – Corporate Coach

It’s a top quality training weekend with four highly-qualified professional coaches…

 
 

And before you ask… just because the training is free* it doesn’t mean that you won’t have a high quality experience. This is the weekend course previously sold by itself for £500 and for five years, it formed the core of our £2,000 training programme. It is the course that has often been copied but never, never equalled – which is why The Coaching Academy has always been the largest trainer of Life and Corporate coaches in the UK!

“An action-packed and very satisfying weekend which far exceeded my expectations.” Wendy Rimmer – trainee Executive Coach

 

 

Who will receive the most benefit from this weekend?

We think you’ll find it invaluable if:

  • You’re considering starting a full/part-time coaching business and would like to know more about coaching or about us.
  • You’ve heard about coaching in the media and want to find out more.
  • You already coach people within an organisation or feel that the ability to do so would enhance your skills and/or your career.
  • Your company intends implementing NVQs in coaching and you want to be one step ahead.
  • You know one of our coaches and they have recommended this course to you.
  • You want to work on your own personal development and learn some invaluable tips and tools – including the power of goal setting.

What this weekend is NOT

There is absolutely no obligation to do any further training with us. Rest assured, this isn’t a weekend devoted to selling Coaching Academy courses. Not until late on Sunday afternoon will you hear about the other training we offer. If, by then, you’ve decided that this may be what you want, you can stop and listen to details – but that’s totally up to you. We don’t ask you to commit yourself on the spot either. In fact, we won’t let you. We want you to go away and sleep on it before you call us.

“This course inspired me to believe I can succeed as a coach immediately.”
Clare Ferrie – Personal Coach

 

 

 
Not exactly sure what coaching is?

Coaching takes people from where they are now to where they want to be. And the results can be stunning. A coach gives people the confidence and ability to move forward in a positive manner in the areas of their life where they crave change. It is a totally holistic approach that looks at the present and sets goals for a totally successful future. It’s not counselling or consulting – it’s a different intervention altogether.

“We all want more time for ourselves, success, happiness, money – but few of us know how to move towards those things. Coaching helps you get results fast.” She Magazine

Do you need any academic qualifications
to be a coach?

No you don’t. It’s more important that:

  • You are more interested in people than in things
  • You truly want to help others
  • You are determined, committed and willing to learn
  • You see the best in people – even when others don’t
  • You get frustrated when people don’t see their own potential
  • You are probably the sort of person people come to for help and advice

Some successful coaches left school before their 16th birthday and have no academic qualifications. Others have a university degree.

“Enrolling and participating in this course was the best thing I ever did… I have now taken the steps to changing my life! Thank you.” Helen Adams – Personal and Life Coach

 

 

So why do we offer the training Free* at the 2-day course?

If you’re thinking about becoming a coach, you need to make sure that it’s the right choice for you. And we want to give you the opportunity to do exactly that.

For example, what kind of coaching suits your personality? Do you want to be a Corporate Coach? A Personal or Life Coach? Or a Small Business Coach?

 

 

On the Certificate in Personal Coaching, we’ll give you information to help you make this kind of decision. So, before you spend any money, this is a low, low risk way to make sure it’s the answer for you.

If you like what you see and hear then you might choose to take a professional qualification. If that is the case, then you will be able to make an informed decision as to whether The Coaching Academy is your best partner in your success.

“The Coaching Academy provides high quality, inspirational training. At the end of the first weekend I felt I could achieve almost anything!” Carrie Young – trainee Life Coach.

 

 

What you get...

You get two days of top quality training, valuable information to help you decide whether coaching is right for you plus all this:

  • Networking buffet lunches on both days
  • Full refreshments, tea and coffee throughout both days
  • Comprehensive workbook including all the PowerPoint slides so you don’t have to copy them down
  • Disk 1 of the "Brian Tracy Personal Development seminar" live in the UK DVD set (Disk 2,3 & 4 free when you take up further learning) RRP £99!
    And...
  • A free ‘meet the expert’ extra bonus session late Saturday afternoon

 

 

The inspiring speakers you’ll hear are our own trainers – people who also run their own coaching businesses and who’ll share some of the secrets of their professional success.

 

Here are some of the trainers you’ll meet:

 
 
 

And here’s an inspiring thought – every single one of our trainers are people who were once students! You will be taught by people who were in your position a few years ago and who now make their living from coaching; they can give you a real-life insight into what it’s like to work as a coach in the UK today.
