Both of our diplomas have been purposely designed to focus heavily on evidence based coaching approaches. This means we bring in scientific principles from the fields of Neuroscience, Positive Psychology and Psychodynamics to inform our training methods. The coach training is delivered online through Zoom.

To find out more about the specific modules taught in each Diploma and understand what it's like to study with Optimus, as well as read student testimonials and learn about the extensive experience of our coaches, trainers and mentors download our latest course brochure.

Both our ICF Associate and Professional diplomas have been created to provide structured, high quality teaching with a focus on evidence based approaches, which are backed up by scientific research so you can work with clients on a more transformative level. 

Equally our ethos is about coaching practice being at the heart of what you do and we provide regular feedback against the competencies to enable you to develop and hone your skills.

Optimus Coach Academy is one of a very small number of UK coach training providers to offer BOTH an ICF accredited Associate Coach Diploma AND an ICF Professional Coach Diploma Level within the one organisation.  This means should you decide to start off with the Associate Coach Diploma,  once accredited, you can then add on additional modules, competencies and coaching hours, to work toward your Professional Coach Diploma, without needing to change to another provider.  This means access to the same coaches, trainers and mentors you have built a relationship with and you feel comfortable with.

Francesca Aaen, Business and Performance Coach (existing coach)

"When I started the program I had been working as a coach formally for more than a year and in over 20+ years as a pharmacist. During all of that time I had been using coaching and training and I really wanted to use it properly and be top of my game with it. I was lacking knowledge and confidence to go deeper with people.

The course has given me a deeper understanding of what coaching is and how I can get the best results for my clients. It has shown me this whole world that I want to explore and do even more in. The biggest thing is the confidence that I now have in terms of being able to deliver for my clients.
 
It is amazing how my business has developed and changed over the last six months with the help of the course and working through the challenges, thoughts and ideas with such a range of coaches has been hugely beneficial. I have really shifted to a corporate client base and it is a really interesting shift for me.
 
I think if you want to be a coach, work as a coach, be successful as a coach, be confident as a coach, then this is the course for you. It's unlike any training that I've ever done before, it's just great. I never worry about coaching someone now. I feel like I always know where to go. I can respond and I don't go in thinking what I am going to ask them. I can be completely curious and open to what they want to do in the session and it works: it is so much better for them and I just love it. I'm so happy to take the full joy out of it."

What made you sign up?

“I got into coaching last year and I knew that I wanted to get a qualification.

I did look at other programs, but when I had the consultation with you I realized everything I was looking for is all blended in your course and I thought it was the right thing for me to do.

On the course, I literally come out of every session thinking “wow lightbulb moment”. It's been so great because I've discovered a lot about myself. I am not only learning tools about how to help other people. I'm learning tools to help myself. When I need some self-coaching I can definitely do that and every week I learned something new for me to add.

It is helping me a lot from my previous business when I was coaching with no tools. Now I have more tools in my bag than I could ever ask for.”

What would you say to someone considering signing up?

“If you're looking for something that's not going to just only help your clients, but help you as well, I would definitely sign up for it. It's helped me in more ways than one, in terms of all the different tools that we're learning different methods that we’re learning.

I'm self-coaching myself every day and I'm finding that I'm actually becoming a better person by using the tools from the course that I'm learning.

I love the Community. If you want just more than a course, more than a community, then definitely sign up.”
