This intensive can potentially reduce your overall study time down to 1 month, allowing you to gain your certification and start working sooner.

You will gain the highest quality of learning through this immersive format and leave feeling confident in how to begin using coaching as a method of communication.
- Train alongside other like-minded people and start to build a network within the coaching community which will stand you in good stead for the future. Support and interaction of peers has been shown to greatly enhance learning and enjoyment of the course.
- Following the retreat, participants will continue their journey with ongoing support allowing time to absorb, practice and integrate key learning from their time together.
