Course information

The Accredited Diploma in Executive & Life Coaching is a part-time course for those wishing to become a coach or to learn coach skills in order to improve their personal and professional effectiveness. The course leads to the following two qualifications:-

2. The course consists of 7 weekend and 1 evening class sessions in addition to external work including assignments, reading course books, giving and receiving coaching (peer, professional and pro bono), journalling, book and media reviews and study group meetings.

The course fee is normally €2,550 and is paid either by a €250 deposit and then the balance at the start of the course or a €250 deposit and the balance paid in interest-free installments over the duration of the course.

At the moment, the course is discounted by €600 for registrations made before16th of July  - so the course fee is reduced to €1950.

At the end of each course we always ask students to complete feedback forms. We asked the Autumn students, "What would you say to anyone thinking of taking the course?"

Here's a few of the answers:

Do, Do, Do
Helena (Counsellor, Trainer, Teacher, Physiotherapist)

I’d recommend it without hesitation. It’s a fantastic investment – because you are able to engage at the level you’re at, everyone is valued, able to fully enjoy and benefit.
Clare (Musician)

Do it – just do it. All the challenges are worthwhile. The more you bring to it the more you will get out of it. Brilliant experience and bonding. Genuine & authentic.

Brilliant. Best course I have ever done by far!
David (Secondary School Teacher)

Go for it! If the effort is put in they will get 3 times back. The investment is fantastic & will stand to you for the rest of their lives.
Charlie  (Training Coordinator, Supervisor)

Go for it – it’s an amazing opportunity to progress on your life’s journey. Lots of surprises in the learning on an emotional level, great tools given for living and sharing whether that be on a personal or professional level. Brilliant opportunity to expand – great facilitators that speak with knowledge and clarity – they live it.
Ruth (Chartered Physiotherapist)

“Trust the process”. Have faith and give it a shot. No learning is wasted.

I read the comments on the website from previous participants, but they were just words – now I have experienced all of the learning areas & I have understood so many things that were a mystery to me. I have been given so many tools. Tools that I needed to progress as a trainer/teacher/coach.
