Really enjoyable training with Rachael
I really enjoyed this training led by Rachael. She was a great trainer, warm, funny and inclusive. Some good tips and thoughtful scenarios which Rachael guided us through after we’d had the chance to discuss with others. The size of the group worked really well and enabled us to learn from each other. Thank you Rachael - lots to think about moving forward.

A module packed with practical tools
This module was so rich with tools and practical tips to help you design a coaching approach that connect to younger clients. Chris energy, enthusiasm and passion for this topic is phenomenal and so contagious. He made me rethink my approach and gave me hope that I CAN carve my path in this sector.

Great experience
Great all round experience with user friendly structure to support all types of learners. The format is great to work around a busy life and offers flexibility that I personally required around my current job. Each tutor brings a different dynamic and level of experience which offers a great insight into the coaching world.
I would highly recommend this course not only do you gain the skills to become a coach you also go through a personal development journey.

I feel let down after my first live module
I had been impressed with The Coaching Academy but two things let them down today.
1. Two factor authentication sends the authentication requests to email but takes several minutes to come through. This is not convenient.
2. There were aspects of the delivery of the first module I attended "live" that really should be improved. For example unclear which "handout" you are referring to at times. Descrepencies around things like page numbers... just poor. There is a more servous concern I have raised formally now as the tutor left the call before this could be raised in the moment.
Could do much better. So much potential

Dear Linda,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback following your first live module. We’re sorry to hear that aspects of your experience did not fully meet your expectations, particularly as this was your initial live session with us.
We were naturally disappointed to see these concerns raised publicly before we had the opportunity to fully discuss and address them with you directly. Supporting our students is extremely important to us, and our teams are always available to listen, review concerns thoroughly, and work collaboratively towards a positive resolution.
We appreciate you highlighting both the technical issue regarding two-factor authentication and your comments around the clarity of materials during the session. We understand how important it is that systems run smoothly and that learning resources are clear and accessible, and your feedback has been shared with the relevant teams for review.
We are also sorry to hear that you felt unable to raise your concern during the session itself. Please be assured that we take all student feedback seriously and are reviewing your comments internally with the training team to ensure appropriate support and communication are consistently in place during live delivery.
As discussed, we have arranged a call with you next week so that we can explore your experience further and ensure your concerns are fully heard and addressed. We appreciate the opportunity to continue this conversation directly with you.
Kind regards,
TCA Team

The career niche training with Sarah Bramall
The career niche training session with Sarah Bramall, was truly transformative. Sarah is an incredible trainer who brings a perfect blend of deep expertise, high energy, and genuine kindness to the room. Not only was the course material incredibly rich and well-structured, but she also took the time to thoughtfully address every question from the group. I've walked away with a wealth of new knowledge and, most importantly, much-needed clarity on my professional niche.

Outstanding training
An excellent establishment that fully equips you to feel confident, responsibly and ethically practising. Excellent trainers with invaluable experience and knowledge. The guidance and support is phenomenal. The live training for Empowering the Coaching relationship was incredible, I felt supported, learning so much about important factors such as Empathy/sympathy, The training run by Sharon used learning styles suitable and adapted to all learning styles which is pretty amazing in my view, a huge feat, successfully met. I have come away with so much insight and personal insight on how I can improve and deliver the best service to my clients and use tools to self asess to ensure I turn up fully present and my best self for the client. Thank you Sharon such and empowering training!

Sessions too long
I like the content but the sessions seem far longer than is necessary. I really like the 8- 10 minute break outs, that's a really good time. But then essentially repeating the same exercise in the big room seems unnecessary. In the last session the whole first 30minutes was asking people, first in breakouts then altogether, our thoughts after the session the evening before. That's a whole quarter of the session!
Also, a previous session leader had said its fine to have cameras off during the main room sessions. That was really encouraging for me as I have Chronic Fatigue and staying on camera after a long day at work is a lot for me. But this time the trainer put pressure on several times to turn cameras on, with no thought given to those who might need to be off-camera for various reasons. This made me feel quite uncomfortable.

Hello, thank you for taking the time to share feedback. We are sorry to hear that parts of the session felt longer than necessary. Your comments regarding the balance between breakout discussions and whole-group reflections are really helpful and will be shared with the training team. We also appreciate you raising your experience regarding camera use. We’re sorry to hear this made you feel uncomfortable. Creating a supportive and inclusive learning environment is very important to us, and your feedback will help us reinforce the need for flexibility and sensitivity in our live sessions. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts with us. Best wishes, TCA Team
