What Our Coaches Say

Experiences from our coaching programmes.
Rated 5 out of 5
"Without a doubt, the Level 5 programme is one of the best learning experiences I’ve had in over six years of coaching practical, reflective, and truly developmental."
Abz Salloum

EMCC Senior Practitioner & L7 CMI Leadership Coach & Mentor
Rated 5 out of 5
"When I began my journey in 2019, I conducted thorough research. I was looking for a specific set of criteria: a school that was accredited, offered flexible hours, forced me out of my comfort zone, and provided a truly transformative experience. While I eventually found my path, I truly wish I had found Coaching Minds back then."

"Coaching Mind is a total outlier. Level 5 wasn't just a certificate; it was a serious pivot for my project. Dealing with digital addiction requires deep psychological tools, not just 'tips,' and this curriculum delivered that rigor. It’s essential for turning a big vision into actual human change."
Augusto Modigliani

Coach & Founder, Digitalzero

"Transitioning from a career in banking into coaching while completing my MSc in Psychology and Neuroscience, I was seeking a training pathway grounded in ethics, professionalism, and real-world readiness. Coaching Minds has provided exactly that. As an EMCC Global Quality Award–accredited provider, they create a highly supportive environment where new coaches feel encouraged from day one, while being held to clear ethical and professional standards. The depth of resources, community involvement, and accreditation alignment makes Coaching Minds an invaluable pathway for coaches committed to high standards of practice."

"I recommend Coaching Minds to anyone who would like to become an ethical EMCC accredited coach, but are unable to afford the typical prices.  Unlike most programmes Coaching Minds focuses on standards instead of profit. Apart from the flexibility to complete the courses,  the other major upside is the coach community the coach hub creates.  It’s a really welcoming and supportive environment."
