Student Feedback
“This certificate course was both informative and inspiring to understand and practice new skills backed up with a variety of academic models and the opportunity to connect with like minded business professionals who were also on a similar journey of self improvement.
Laura’s energy and passion for coaching is contagious, my confidence grew week on week as I dared to step out of my comfort zone and experience real growth by putting my new gained skills into practice. I wish I could have an army of coaches in the workforce, now that really would be an unfair advantage.”
Joanna Lupton
HR and H&S Manager at Technimark
“I joined Laura’s certified coaching course as she’s one of the few ‘Professional Coaches’ I trust. Highly qualified and with a proven track record. I joined the course looking to add a qualification to this area of our business and was very impressed with the structure, dynamic, supporting materials, delivery method and support. It was a very well constructed programme that made the subject matter easy to digest, develop and deliver both within practice sessions and with my clients. Aside from the formal benefits of the course I have also developed more confidence in coaching a wider range of clients from various industries and backgrounds.
I would highly recommend this programme for anyone wishing to add to or improve their current coaching approach and results. Easy to follow, comprehensive, well thought out and a pleasure to be part of.”
Alan Scott
Learning & Development Consultant at ASC Ltd.
“When I started the engaged coach practitioner course I wasn’t sure what to expect as I had no experience of formal coaching. Laura made me feel extremely welcome and part of the team within the cohort, and the information and support to becoming a coach was extremely valuable. After each session I could see myself making small changes and using some of the techniques I had learned almost instantly, both in my professional and personal life. I also enjoyed the experience of being matched with a cohort of the same people throughout the course. I didn’t know anyone when I signed up to the course, and Laura worked to engage everyone and mixed us up during the weeks to benefit from each others varied coaching styles and lived experiences.
I found the course one of the most beneficial courses I have completed in the past few years. I found the pace and materials, along with the support from Laura fantastic. Laura’s delivery style was friendly and personable and her energy and enthusiasm along with her expertise made it an enjoyable experience I couldn’t recommend it higher.”

Why Become a Professional Qualified Coach?
Coaching is Transformational
No matter which stage of life or career you find yourself in, the benefits of transformational coaching are wide ranging and can leave a lasting positive impact. Working as a coach can help you to develop both as an individual and in your career, opening the door towards increased confidence, performance and more. Individual and Business Coaching is rewarding and a fulfilling career choice. As a Coach you will help people get what they most want in their personal and professional life.
Coaching is People-Centred
Coaching is all about people and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to coaching. As a coach you can help others improve the quality of their lives and achieve their goals. Many of our students have always wanted to make a difference in this world and in their workplaces. By taking a person centred approach you will learn how to encourage your coachee to share what’s on their mind, you’ll learn to listen without judgement and help your coachee to find answers for themselves through asking powerful questions.
Coaching Empowers & Inspires
The coach’s role is to nurture, empower an inspire people to perform and improve in accordance with their ever-changing needs and impulses. It is imperative coaches make a concerted effort to get to know every person they interact with and know understand what drives them to want to make continued progress. Coaching is a way to make a difference in others’ lives.
Coaching is Essential for Leadership
Coaching is an essential skill for workplace leaders. Companies are moving away from traditional command-and-control practices and toward something very different: a model in which managers and leaders give support and guidance rather than instructions, and employees learn how to adapt to constantly changing environments in ways that unleash fresh energy, innovation, and commitment.
Coaching helps you make change
Instead of dishing out advice, a good coach will ask exploratory, open ended questions and listen with genuine care and concern. You will learn that the way to do that isn’t by setting targets for them and fixing their problems; it’s by coaching with compassion. A lot of us have natural coaching skills. Asking questions, active listening, offering observations – these are all things a lot of us do in everyday conversations. You might coach someone without even realising. You’ll learn how to refine and increase these skills and learn specific techniques to help people raise their self awareness.
Coaching
unlocks potential
Coaching is about partnering with coachees in a thought provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. The coaching process can help improve a person’s outlook on work and life, while improving leadership skills and unlocking potential. As a coach your task is to help people break through from one level of performance to another and to help individuals change patterns that are holding them back from achieving their potential.
Coaching connects you to your purpose
Instead of dishing out advice, a good coach will ask exploratory, open ended questions and listen with genuine care and concern. You will learn that the way to do that isn’t by setting targets for them and fixing their problems; it’s by coaching with compassion. A lot of us have natural coaching skills. Asking questions, active listening, offering observations – these are all things a lot of us do in everyday conversations. You might coach someone without even realising. You’ll learn how to refine and increase these skills and learn specific techniques to help people raise their self awareness.
Make coaching
a habit
The demand for coaching is growing in the workplace. Businesses are realising more and more what coaching is and what it can offer. Personal development and mental health in the workplace are more widely talked about than ever before. Coaching as a daily habit has many benefits so that we are enabled to take advantage of an opportunity or challenge. Coaching in the workplace is not something that should be wheeled in and wheeled out as performance management tool, instead it should be an everyday practice and one that is provided by all levels of leadership in a business.
