About the Course

Life Coaching is a method of mentoring and helping people achieve their goals or master specific skills. A wonderful series of techniques that can be applied with transformative effect in your own life, as well as applied to others.

The Advanced Certificate in Life Coaching enables you to embark on a career as a Life Coach or add Coaching to your existing therapeutic toolkit. Coaching is extremely popular and can be used in a wide variety of settings, professional and personal.

The Chrysalis Advanced Certificate in Life Coaching (Ad. Cert. CNS.) is Approved by the National Counselling Society. On completion, you'll get a recognised qualification.

You can complete the course in as little as 8 weeks - or just fit the course around your lifestyle and take as long as you like.

You'll have access to your assigned, expert tutor for as long as it takes to complete the course, with easy methods of communication.

You also get access to the online Student Coffee Shop where you can discuss topics with other students and with tutors.

The Advanced Certificate will equip you with a good knowledge of life coaching: a starting point for practice if you're new to the subject, and a good knowledge base if you're an existing therapist.

As a recognised qualification, the Advanced Certificate in Life Coaching makes you eligible for full professional-level training and an exciting career.
