Reviews

"Chris is a great tutor with a background as a psychologist and is a warm, clear communicator. He is especially good at summarising and applying all the theoretical bases for coaching. The links with counselling were also very useful." Rachel New

"This course was VERY informative. I am happy to have the knowledge, materials and processes to use for my personal practice in the future." Angelecia R Troope

"Chris can put a knowledge in a proper frame like no one can! He talks about many things I've studied on my University (Andragogy) but in the light of Life coaching and that's exactly what I needed; and he frames it for a practical application - clear and straight on the point! Perfect as it gets! I highly recommend this course!" Joanna Saric
