Is it possible to become a professional life coach without paying for a course or qualification? And, if so, is this the best thing to do? Read our blog to find out!
The answer is yes and no. To become a life coach, you do not need any formal qualifications, training, or certifications. However, clients will look for such markers of quality before choosing their life coach. Without formal training, you may not be able to support your clients with the wide range of tools and skills that are learnt through formal coaching training.
Not only will a Life Coaching Diploma give you the skills and knowledge to confidently start your life coaching journey, but you will instil your potential customers with confidence. A diploma from The Coaching Academy will put you head and shoulders above the competition and will highlight you as a life coach with dedication, integrity, and a fully rounded coaching skill set. Our diplomas and programmes are all accredited by professional bodies and third-party organisations so you, and your future customers, will know that you are receiving the highest quality training.
At the coaching academy, we run a plethora of free webinars and coaching sessions that are run by industry-leading coaches. Thanks to these online sessions, you can learn more about our courses whilst also learning invaluable skills that will help your career.

Thanks to our 20-year history, we have made connections with some of the most successful coaches in the industry. We invite these people to share their wisdom as part of our 'Coaching Conversations' series.
These interviews are free of charge to attend, so are a great opportunity to gain priceless insight and knowledge from fellow coaching professionals.
Many of these conversations focus on niches within coaching, such as education, addiction, or corporate coaching. These sessions can shine a light on the varied career paths that you can take, and you will hear from experienced coaches about their experiences in the field.
