I’m Officially a professional coach and this was partly due to the empathetic and encouraging nature of my tutor Mel. There were times where I didn’t think I would complete the course but being open and honest with my tutor was all part of the journey.
Having a tutor to check in with keeps you accountable and makes you feel supported throughout the course.
If becoming a coach is something you’ve been wanting to do I recommend contacting UK College of Personal Development and seeing if it is right for you.

Highly recommended training and personal development provider
I have just completed my Foundation Diploma in Life Coaching, and trained through UKCPD.
Everything about the training experience has been superb. The online portal is stacked full of helpful literature and easy to access.
My tutor was Mel Richens, who was very supportive, knowledgeable, patient and always available with invaluable advice and practical guidance.

Training with UKCPD has been one of the most valuable investments I’ve made in my personal and professional development. The course was rich, well-structured, and delivered with clarity and enthusiasm. I felt genuinely supported throughout the entire process, and the feedback I received helped me grow enormously. I am feeling confident, skilled, and ready to begin my coaching practice. Thank you Tony for creating such a positive and empowering learning environment

I cannot rate UKCPD high enough – really first class.
Tony is a GREAT trainer, along with Mel and Chris. Plus all the assistance who had previously done the course- everyone was so supportive and knowledgeable.
The course content, workload and sessions were of a great standard and the course flowed well, building on each session and practising with peers.
I also love the fact that when your course finishes, your still part of the college, plus there is so much information and other courses to do.
I did the Business and Life Coaching Diploma with NLP Practitioner. I’m now looking to do the coaching accreditation with UKCPD.
I’m still in contact with peers in the group and have to say it is one of the best things I did for myself!!
100% recommend!!
