Listen to the experiences of some of our graduates who have trained on our accredited Associate Coach Diploma - Level 1
Lyndsey Linford
"So coaching and Optimus got recommended to me by my own coach, my life coach, and so I joined the free taster session back in March 2022 and I was really impressed with the way they taught and explained positive psychology, neuroscience, and just raising my own self awareness.. I decided to train as a coach because I've seen the positive impact that coaching had on my life, and I wanted to pass onto other women who may have felt that they felt a bit lost in life and weren't sure on how to make the big moves in life to be where they wanted to be.""I would definitely say go for the level one because it's just a great introduction to coaching as someone who has never done any training in coaching before. It's really given me a good foundation of knowledge and a good starting ground to work from" To listen to the full testimonial play the video
Francheska Webb-Cook
"I think if you're someone that's not completely positive that doing coaching is completely for you or how you fit into that realm or if it's something that you want to take to a higher level, doing the level one diploma has really helped me learn where I want to move forward and how I want to progress within this sphere of coaching. So the support that we get is really, really good, both from our tutors, but also our peer group. We've become a really close small cohort and we really support each other with doing our peer coaching and having conversations about things that we've tried in a session that have really worked or sometimes things that haven't gone quite as well and learning from each other and obviously, we've got the fabulous Ruth and the rest of the Optimus team that are always there.
