Overview
Course description
🌞 Positive Psychology: An Approach to Happiness
The Positive Psychology training program is based on the idea that every individual possesses the capacity to cultivate happiness and share positive emotions with those around them. However, modern society—with its constraints and frustrations—tends to erode this natural optimism. Professional demands, toxic relationships, and daily pressures can generate a spiral of negative thoughts. This training is designed to help understand and reverse these tendencies by leveraging positive psychology.
🎉 The Principles of Positive Psychology
Positive psychology sets itself apart from traditional approaches by focusing on what works well in our lives. Instead of concentrating solely on problems, this discipline proposes strengthening the positive aspects that bring satisfaction and joy. This paradigm encourages adopting a more optimistic outlook on life by learning to value successes, happy moments, and personal qualities, while acknowledging difficulties without letting them dominate. The goal is to enhance resilience to better face obstacles while prioritizing happiness.
📖 An Accessible and Structured Training
This program consists of 10 modules accessible to everyone, with no specific academic prerequisites. It is specially designed for those who wish to acquire the practical and theoretical tools of positive psychology. Participants will learn concepts such as self-esteem, motivation, optimism, and coaching techniques. Emphasis is placed on practice through concrete exercises, clinical case studies, and a final test to validate the acquired knowledge. Upon completion, participants receive an internationally recognized certificate, enabling them to become coaches in positive psychology.
👀 Who Is This Training For?
The training is intended for a wide range of professionals in fields such as health, social work, management, or personal support. It is also suitable for anyone wishing to improve their personal well-being and help others do the same. Whether you are an entrepreneur, executive, educator, or simply seeking personal fulfillment, positive psychology can enrich your daily life and social interactions. By undertaking this training, you will learn not only how to develop your own happiness but also how to become an ambassador of happiness by guiding others toward a more joyful and fulfilling life.

Course syllabus
Module 1: INTRODUCTION TO POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY
This first module, which is largely theoretical, aims to transmit the foundations of positive psychology. It will also allow you to draw up a profile of your client. It is an opportunity to explain that positive psychology is a science-based on numerous studies conducted over the last 20 years.
In this first module, you will discover:
- The basics of positive psychology: what it is and what it is not
- The different aspects of life that influence happiness, well-being, and fulfillment

- The importance of establishing a notebook of happiness and small pleasures
- Tools and exercises that will help your client make progress
- Twenty positive inspirational quotes
- The complete organization of the first session
Module 2: DETERMINING CHARACTER STRENGTHS AND APPLYING THEM
Here you will discover the 24-character strengths put forward by Martin Seligman, the father of positive psychology. Using the Via Survey Test, you will then analyze your client’s five greatest character strengths.
In this module, we will address:
- The use of character strengths in various areas of life (wisdom and knowledge, bravery, humanity, fairness, self-control, and transcendence)
- A list of actions and situations that will help your client express their strengths
- The “the wheel of strengths” exercise, which allows clients to take stock of and reveal seldom used strengths
- A one-month action plan to enhance your client’s core strengths
- The organization of the second session
Module 3: HAPPINESS AND WELL-BEING
This module will address the genetic aspect of happiness, as well as the three concepts of happiness in psychology: the hedonic concept of happiness, the eudaimonic concept of happiness, and the PERMA model.
In this module, you will discover:
- The five factors that influence well-being (positive emotion, engagement, positive relationships, meaning, and accomplishments/achievements)
- The distinction between happiness and well-being
- The use of rating scales
- Analysis of the assessment scales to define the life areas corresponding to your client’s profile
- Three tools to assess your client’s “happiness and well-being”: the fulfillment scale, the happiness scale, and the wheel of life
- The organization of the third session
Module 4: THE MEANING OF LIFE AND ACCOMPLISHMENT, SETTING GOALS AND ACHIEVING THEM
After assessing your client’s happiness and well-being and focusing on the important areas of their life, we will look at two new pillars that impact their well-being: meaning of life and accomplishment.
Upon completion of this module, you will be able to:

- The five activities that trigger positive emotions (helping, communicating, having fun, learning, and exercising)
- Techniques to help your client transform negative thoughts into positive ones
- Techniques to help your client assess what they really want
- An example of how to proceed in session 5
Module 6: WORKING ON SELF-ESTEEM AND SELF- CONFIDENCE
If your client’s self-esteem and self-confidence are too fragile, their future projects, objectives, and actions may be negatively affected. It is, therefore, logical, at this stage of the coaching, to address these concepts.

- The impact of self-esteem on quality of life

In this module, you will discover:
- The definition of optimism
- The value of surrounding yourself with optimistic people
- The importance of not talking about your goals in the conditional tense
- Techniques that influence and maintain motivation
- Tips for breaking down your goals into simple, achievable actions
- Strategies for reducing the impact of negative thoughts
- Exercises to get rid of limiting beliefs and fear of failure
- Tools to recognize one’s responsibility for happy events, a crucial step in positive psychology
- Organization of the seventh session
Module 8: PRESENT MOMENT AND MINDFULNESS
In this module, you will discover how to help your client live in the present moment. They will learn to listen to their thoughts, analyze them, organize them, stop having them if necessary, and transform them through taking action or problem-solving.

Great
Love the set up and it is easy to follow. The only thing that stops me from fully enjoying it is that there are no corresponding printouts to use with our clients. That means I have to create them all myself. Otherwise the course is great.

Fun, Informative, and so easy to navigate
I have to say, completing this course was genuinely fun! I really had such a great time. It was inspiring in a way that's hard to put into words—maybe because of my own personal experience. Either way, it left a positive impact on me, and I'm grateful for that.

Just pick the course you’re interested in and click “Add to cart.” When you’re ready, head to the checkout and complete your payment. You’ll get a confirmation email right away. If you want a printed certificate, you can choose that during checkout too!
How long does it take to complete a course?
That really depends on how many pages you go through per day or week, and of course, on your previous experience. The course is completely online and self-paced, so there are no deadlines. Once you’ve purchased the course, you’ll have lifetime access to all the material. It’s made up of several modules, some are lighter, while others a bit heavier. For most students, completing the entire course takes around 40 hours.
If I need help with the course, can I ask a question?
Yes, absolutely. The student forum is available for this purpose, you can post your questions and either a mentor or another student will get back to you, usually within 48 hours (excluding weekends and holidays). And feel free to share your wins too!
I can’t log in or forgot my password, what should I do?
Start by checking your inbox and spam folder for your login email, especially if it’s your first time logging in. Make sure you're using the same email address you used when signing up and that you're on the correct website. If needed, click “Forgot Password?” on the login page and follow the steps to reset it. If the email doesn't arrive, double-check your spam folder and try again. Still having trouble? Just reach out to our support team at [email protected], we're happy to help and usually respond within 48 hours (excluding weekends and holidays). We recommend saving your login details when you receive your registration email to avoid any issues later on.
Do I need to attend anything live, or can I study whenever it suits me?
The entire course takes place online and is fully self-paced, so you can study whenever it suits you best. There are no trips, workshops, or live classes required. You’ll get access to course modules as downloadable PDFs, audio files, and in some cases, videos. You study independently in your own time, and if you have any questions, you’re always welcome to ask them in the forum.
How am I assessed during the course?
You’ll find short quizzes at the end of each module to help you reflect on what you’ve learned, they’re NOT graded and are just for your own understanding. At the end of the course, there’s a final multiple-choice exam that is graded. You’ll need to score at least 80% to pass. Don’t worry, if you do not achieve 80% your first time, you can retake the exam at any time.
Are there any prerequisites?
There are no prerequisites or minimum educational requirements. All our courses are carefully designed to be accessible to as many people as possible. You can study from a computer, tablet, or smartphone. If your internet connection is unstable, we recommend downloading the PDF modules and audio files so you can access them offline whenever it suits you. Just keep in mind that you’ll need an internet connection to complete the quizzes and take the final exam.
Do I receive a certificate at the end of the course?
You will receive a printed certificate if you selected that option during registration. Otherwise, you can order it later at any time from your student portal under the "Certificates" section – OR download it for free as a PDF.
Are your certificates officially accredited, or are they just for personal development?
The professions for which our courses prepare you are part of the unregulated occupations in most countries. This means there is no official recognition. However, local regulations may vary. We recommend that you inquire with the relevant authorities. Our courses are designed to provide essential foundational knowledge, making them an excellent starting point for anyone looking to enter a new field or expand their expertise. They equip you with practical skills and a deep understanding of the subject matter, enabling you to either begin your career or enhance your existing expertise in a cost-effective way. Our courses are accredited by respected international organisations. That said, the fields we train for aren’t regulated in most countries, so recognition can vary depending on where you live. It’s always a good idea to double-check with local authorities if you're unsure.
Why are the courses sometimes discounted so much?
We believe that quality education should be accessible to everyone, not just a privilege for a few. From time to time, we offer significant discounts to open the door for more people to learn, grow, and discover new opportunities. It’s part of our mission to make personal and professional development more inclusive, regardless of budget.
