Certificate in Life Coaching A rapidly growing discipline, life coaching is concerned with equipping individuals with the tools and skills required to achieve personal and professional growth. This course has been developed to train students in the principles and concepts that underpin life coaching. Modules on the art of coaching will teach students about managing emotions, identifying and setting goals, and issues surrounding self-esteem, beliefs and expectations. Deeper coaching skills will explore intuition, representational systems and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP). As life coaches are largely self-employed, this course provides pointers for students intending to establish their own life coaching practice. Strategies for identifying a target market, drawing up a business plan, and marketing and promoting a life coaching business are included. Students will also have access to their trainer, as well as a Student Support team for help with study plans.
