Testimonial
"Dear Curly, I am writing to thank you… I was going to write straightaway though decided to wait until the initial euphoria had died down, and I could get my thoughts in order. You were right! (though I would suspect you're rarely wrong anyway?!) Your session on self belief did me the power of good! Life Coaching has given me the added dimension I was looking for. The tools are all there inside me. I really enjoyed meeting you Curly, you're an amazing woman and a real inspiration! Kind regards"

 Silver Plus
Option
"When I knew I wanted to become a life coach I wanted to make sure that I chose the best course possible. I did a huge amount of research, like most people who are going to invest a small fortune in a life changing course, and after many answered questions, I settled on your Achievement Specialists’ course. I believe it has been the best thing I’ve ever done. From the moment I started the course, I knew it was the right one to pick. It was professional throughout, the course material excellent and the content spot on. Curly was inspiring and the coaches she had on hand were very knowledgeable and encouraging. What I have found invaluable has been the mentor Curly provided those of us who signed up to the Gold package. Amanda, my mentor, has been exceptional and was able to challenge me in ways I didn’t think were possible. I have very high standards and know that I can be very demanding. Amanda has been professional and an exemplary mentor throughout. I want to thank Curly and Amanda for providing me with a fantastic opportunity. I would not hesitate in recommending the course for any aspiring life coaches. It’s the best investment I’ve ever made! Thank you, thank you, thank you!" - Cecilia Granstrom

Your practical activities and exercises are held in several mentor hosted conference rooms (separate to the main training room) to avoid noise pollution (distraction) which occurs when too many delegates work in one area.
Places are available on a 'first come' 'first served' basis so
early booking is recommended, become a coach take action now.
