I appreciate the holistic nature of the Coach U approach. I learned many different coaching models and approaches, and the group and individual coaching during training was invaluable. The relationships built during training and the support network I've gained as a result have been incredibly helpful as I move forward on my coaching journey.

It has been a wonderful journey not only in terms of content but most important in terms of my further own development. I have become aware that I can be only as good as coach, as I am prepared to further develop myself as a human being and as a soul.

CoachU offers an amazing set of tools and concepts for personal transformation and growth towards one's highest potential. I had read about CoachU in Cheryl Richardson's book back in 2011 and have been wanting to the training since then, and I am glad I finally got a chance to do so.

Coach U illuminated the powerful impact and value of a true "coach approach" to equip and enable me to be a catalyst for drawing out the potential in others. I valued the experience of having a global experience -- learning from the perspectives, experiences and viewpoints a diverse student peers. This was an unexpected - and enriching - asset of the Coach U experience.

Going through the Core Essentials program was valuable for me not only for my professional future but also on a personal basis. I was encouraged to dig into areas where I was blocked, and I did so with an incredibly supportive community of peers.

This is a programme that is delivered by 'those who do' as opposed to 'those who teach'. Hearing from people who apply these learnings in the field daily builds huge confidence in the teaching, and further lends huge credibility to the teacher.

The self-paced Core Essentials essentially has rolling admissions. In most cases, you can start taking courses the first week of the month following the month you register. Once you enroll, your first course will be a one-hour, self-guided online “CE101 CE Orientation” session.
After completing this session, you may enter the student-only area, review the complete schedule (courses are scheduled several months in advance) and enroll in courses.
The course schedule changes each month to accommodate preferred course days (some people only enroll in courses on specific days of the week, while others have greater availability), times of the day (some people prefer to schedule before or after work, while others again have greater flexibility), and global time zones (we have students in over 50 countries).
