Overview

Life coaches help clients set goals and overcome obstacles in order to achieve personal fulfilment and reach their potential. It’s a supportive and motivational process that can be extremely rewarding, both for the coach and the client. If you have fantastic interpersonal skills, a great sense of empathy, and you’re not afraid to ask difficult questions, then utilising this life coaching course to become a recognised life coach could be the career for you.

In this comprehensive life coaching course, you’ll learn all the essential skills and knowledge needed to become a successful life coach, including how to establish client goals, develop action plans, build rapport with clients and use effective communication techniques.
