"My son introduced me to life coaching and paid for me to do this course, he bought me your book first, which I read and six weeks later I had given up smoking, cut down on drinking and started a new job! I had already achieved by the time I started the course! You have inspired me! I am a life coach, I know absolutely that it works, I AM living proof!! Thank you for waking me up to my potential!!" - Angela Bown

The Silver Option is currently subsidised by Achievement Specialists Limited, we have kept the price for Silver Option the same since 2002! We believe that money should not be a barrier to attending our world class course and that many of the most outstanding coaches started with limited budgets and they are often working in careers where the pay is restricted. Silver, is the most affordable option of LCH Diploma course and embodies all the core course material, which includes:

1. Pre-workshop Study
   Includes guided reading to prepare you for the models and strategies used during life coaching. Completing your goal plan on how to introduce life coaching into your life with maximum results and minimum disruption. Keeping your life in balance whilst growing your practice.
2. Membership of the Achievement Specialists’ Achievers Club. The focal point of the Achievers Club is the Discussion Forum. This is where ideas are shared, corporate coaching contracts are posted, requests for life coaches are made, wide-ranging questions are asked and answered.

   This intensive workshop includes Life Coaching demonstrations and rehearsals of Achievement Specialists' unique and copyright Life Coaching Models, exclusive training and coaching presentations from Curly Martin, author of the number one bestselling (2004 - 2009) The Life Coaching Handbook, and bespoke Life Coaching rehearsals/demonstrations. The workshop is highly practical based and you will be practising coaching in a safe environment, before lunchtime on day one. All the activities on the workshop and in the distant learning modules, seamlessly incorporate the most effective NLP methodologies and techniques described in The Life Coaching Handbook, saving you the inconvenience of attending a separate NLP course.

7. Life Coaching practice sessions, together with your own Life Coach, are arranged for post workshop skills enhancement and coaching confidence. This will help to build towards your required 50 hours of coaching and also your confidence as a life coach. You are encouraged to start practicing as soon as you leave the workshop (whilst still in training) as you are required to have completed 50 coaching hours to qualify. These coaching hours can be paid or charity. If you decide to have paying clients you must cover your coaching with a full money back guarantee and make your clients aware you are still in training. We have many highly skilled, experienced professionals who attend our courses and who already have peer networks whom respect their expertise and who want to be coached by them. Therefore it would be unrealistic and detrimental to the coach not to charge for their services. The significant thing is; YOU get to choose when YOU feel ready to start your practice and when YOU are ready to start charging for your services. Integrity is the key factor.

The Silver Option investment:

Easy Payment Plan

An easy-to-pay instalment scheme is available. We have been approved for the Goverment career development loans scheme.

On the workshop we aim to have 1 mentor for every 4 delegates (1:4 ratio) which means help is always close at hand and all your activities are supervised from the start preventing bad practice. Your practical activities and exercises are held in 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.
