About The Coaching Academy

The Coaching Academy is indisputably at the forefront of coach training worldwide. As the largest UK school for coaches, The Coaching Academy has developed a reputation for quality training and supporting coaching for over 11 years.

Your training will always be instructive, informative and enjoyable with an emphasis on the practical application of the skills you learn.

The team of trainers you will work with are hand-picked from the cream of the UK’s finest coaches and trainers – an experienced group of people from varied backgrounds. All have a common goal – they are committed to giving you the very best training and they will share with you everything they know in order to give you the deepest, most thorough training experience possible.

You are in safe hands when training with The Coaching Academy.

When The Coaching Academy opened its doors in mid-1999, there weren’t any other UK-based training schools for coaches. There are now several, most run by ex-students of ours. We encourage you to train with the original provider rather than a copy as a training course like this is not just an investment of your time or money – it’s an investment of your reputation. Imitation courses will only mean you will have to retrain in the future.

The Coaching Academy is now the largest coach training school in the world – currently chosen by more people who want to professionally train in the practical skills of coaching than any other.

This means that your association with The Coaching Academy brings instant kudos and respect as it is the world’s most recognised brand in coaching. We attract the best students, the best trainers and have a bank of resources the “one-man band” schools could never offer.

We are famous for putting on special events for our coaches with leading lights of the profession - Fiona Harrold, Richard Wilkins, Laura Berman Fortgang, Brian Tracy and Cheryl Richardson - sometimes to packed rooms with up to 600 in attendance.

Although a large organisation, The Coaching Academy has a family feel – you will be on first-name terms with the staff and trainers and become part of our community, both online and in your area.

The Coaching Academy courses have been attended by the leading coaches and coaching authors in the UK including Neil and Vicki Espin (the country’s highest paid corporate coaches), Dawn Breslin (the GMTV life coach), Sarah Urquhart (author of 101 Ways to Love Your Job), Pam Richardson (author of Life Coaching), and Lorraine Thomas (author of the 30 Minute Parent Coach).

Finally – we are great people to do business with! We hope from the moment you book onto a Certificate in Personal Coaching weekend you will receive personal, attentive service. Although we are a large organisation in terms of our popularity, we have a small Head Office team. You will get to know the voices on the phone and meet the staff at events.
