Advanced Certificate in Life Coaching – Course Structure

The Advanced Certificate in Life Coaching (ACCT) is carefully structured to provide a balanced blend of theory, practice, and personal development, ensuring you gain the skills and confidence to coach professionally.

Once you register, you’ll gain instant access to the Foundational Learning — a pre-study module designed to give you a strong introduction to both NLP and Coaching. This content helps you develop the right mindset and understanding before the live training begins.

Before your first training weekend, you’ll be invited to a Meet & Greet session, where you’ll meet your tutors and fellow learners, setting the stage for a supportive and collaborative learning experience.

The main training consists of 10 days of live interactive sessions, delivered over five weekends (Saturdays and Sundays). After each training weekend, there will be a midweek evening tutor call where you can ask questions, review key models, and practise the NLP and coaching techniques introduced in the live sessions.

After completing the live training, you’ll have time to work on your course assignments, allowing you to consolidate your learning and apply your new skills. The final stage of the course is the Practical Assessment Day, where you’ll demonstrate your coaching ability and celebrate your progress.

This award-winning training gives you all the knowledge, tools, and confidence you need to establish a successful Life Coaching practice that fits around your current career or personal commitments — or even to launch a brand-new business doing what you love.
