"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

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 to reduce 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.
‘Professional and Career Development Loans are commercial bank loans that canbe used to help pay for work related learning. You can borrow between £300 and £10,000 to help support the cost of up to two years of learning (or three years if it includes one year’s relevant unpaid practical work). The Government will pay the interest on the loan while you are learning and for one month afterwards. You will then need to start repaying the loan as you would any other commercial loans product. The loan can be used to pay course fees or other costs such as travel and living expenses. You can also use the loan to supplement other forms of support such as grants or bursaries. As the Professional and Career Development Loan is a commercial loan product, you should make sure you have investigated all the funding options that may be open to you to ensure you take an informed decision about whether the Loan is right for you.
