My experience withe the coaching academy was such a great opportunity for me to expand it was a bit challenging but worth it . The coaches where very helpful and the information where easy to understand . It’s a self discovery journey and an opportunity to know lovely people to coach and be coached.
Very well explained graphs and aligned with real people. Great teamwork in group sessions. Great course materials. Ability to see all course members' DISC profiles and to ask them questions regarding their personality traits. The final quiz at the end could be more challenging with more situations to analyse.
It was great to work in small groups and look at the skills. Rachael was calm in her approach and passionate about helping schools. Building even more on practical skills and what this may look like could help people feel more confident but definitely a good starting point to enhance thinking.
Hugely enjoyable Diploma course. Well-organised, flexible, good range of modes, great people - knowledgeable and authentic. It was easy to build an effective network with fellow students.
Excellent course (Personal Performance Diploma) delivered by experienced and successful coaches. The full team is always there to support , from the admin team responding quickly and effectively to the mentoring team. The content of the course is diverse and is delivered by a different trainer usually which brings a wealth of experience. The learning experience has been incredible. I signed up just before I went through divorce and what I learned during the training it helped me to rebuild my life and I can now support others. The people I met on the course and practiced with were really wonderful people and I believe the academy is fantastic at attracting great people to study on their courses. Overall, a fabulous experience and learning , I believe coaching skills are a must for anyone no matter what job you do , a must for anyone in order to lead a happy and fulfilling life. The Coaching Academy is also offering more courses which I signed up for such as NLP and Coaching within Education and there are opportunities for continuing your professional development , which I find valuable. Thank you, my life has been transformed immensely, definitely one of the best decisions I have ever made.
Amazing session and insightful, I loved the conversations and the group work as well . Sharon was outstanding as usual , and if am going to borrow an expression it will be “ is is amazing to be seen “
Excellent workshop! Highly recommend it! Sharon is excellent trainer and explained the course very clearly with lots of tips, tools and allow a lot of time to practice this new learnt knowledge. I am very grateful that she stayed behind to answer everyone's questions.
I attended DISC intermediary training today. Sharon was a great trainer and took us through the information clearly with helpful examples. The time for practising skills with fellow students really helped my learning, development and confidence. Sharon prioritised answering our questions. Thank you
Thank you Sharon and Darren for yet another very insghtful presentation! You made the topic real and practical. You equiped us to read the profiles more accurately and to provide meaningfulk feedback, which will enrich the journey with our clients.
The Coaching Academy is an amazing place to study at. The tutors, students, environment, atmosphere, everything seems so positive and exciting. I am so happy I have chosen TCA as my trainer place, they are just the Best!
The delivery of the webinars amd Accelerator Days was professional, engaging and inspirational. The feedback from the practical assessments was hugely informative and motivational, and the mentoring system highly supportive and appropriately pitched. The course has given me the desire to continue learning and has also embedded in me the joys and benefits of peer-to-peer coaching and collaborating. What a wonderful 15 months it has been, Thank You Coaching Academy!
I love Sarah! What I loved about this session is Sarah delivered the day at the right pace for me. She's also humorous and I liked that Sarah interacted with some of the candidates 1:1 which gave the opportunity for discussion about real life examples, so additional learning outside of the handouts. The handouts were clear and it was easy to follow the structure of the day.
I find the coaching academy coaching training very intensive and comprehensive. The trainers are well qualified and knowledgeable and easy to follow the teachings. I can recommend having coaching training as part of your life progression either personally, in your job or business as well us helping you to communicate better. I am proud to be on their course.
From day one I received excellent service,support and great learning
Sarah’s input was useful and interesting; her style clear and calm; her pace purposeful without being rushed. The content of the sessions has given me an even better understanding of how I can work more productively to empower others and to use self talk that empowers me. Useful and interesting training with a good range of styles for us all to engage. Thanks Sarah!
Taught content was minimal and mostly conjecture. The course title did not match the course material. the first 30 minutes of the 6 hours course was intros and welcoming, so also time was not used efficiently. This course could have been condensed to 2 hours, and the learning could have been much higher yield. It was basically a long chat session. Interesting chats, but still: we are here to gain skills and professional competence. It's ok to keep the break out sessions and some of the chat, but for goodness sake please add some real learning content to the course. Cut the fluff. UPDATE to my review following the reply from TCA: The Coaching Academy reply is disappointing. If one takes the time, as I did, to write a reflective review (whether positive or negative), the least we hope for is that the response will include something about taking the feedback on board as the company engages in ongoing review of their program. What I received instead was, and I'm paraphrasing: sorry you feel that way, but it's all soft skill stuff that can't be organised around discrete skill sets and tools. The former is a non-apology for a poorly delivered course, and the latter I reject outright - I'm a doctor and we very strategically draw on evidence and psychologically principles to teach students how to have empowering relationships with patients. For the final point that all students are different with different learning styles: yes, of course. And this student wants more than fluff out of a 6 hour course.
The facilitator Sarah Urqhart was very personable, knowledgeable and created an inclusive space which can be challenging online. Content and pace was very good
The subject was good, just felt that it was very surface and felt dragged out over 3 days when could have been completed in 1 or 2 days. The groups are too big so can be overwhelming and only good interaction is when in a breakout room
A really engaging and enjoyable skills chat. Great presentation and subject
