Ikigai Life Coach
Overview
Course description
🌞 Ikigai: The art of living with purpose
Ikigai, a profound life philosophy embraced by millions worldwide, encourages individuals to live with intention, seeking fulfillment by harmonizing their passions, skills, and contributions to society. Rooted in Japanese culture, Ikigai offers a path to a meaningful, purpose-driven life, where joy and contribution coexist in perfect balance.
At its core, the word "Ikigai" can be translated as "A reason for being," encapsulating the essence of living with purpose and finding deep satisfaction in both personal and collective pursuits.
đź’› A philosophy that enriches both heart and soul
Ikigai is, above all, a way of living—a fusion of wisdom, tradition, and timeless principles that have been cherished for centuries in Japan and passed down through generations. At its core, Ikigai is the art of finding purpose, emphasizing the harmony between what we love, what we are good at, what the world needs, and what we can be rewarded for. It is a holistic approach that considers the entire individual: their passions, talents, and their place in the greater world.
Each person is seen as uniquely gifted, with qualities and dreams that cannot be replicated by anyone else. Ikigai recognizes that there is no one-size-fits-all solution, nor a simple path to happiness. Every individual's journey is unique, shaped by evolving passions and life circumstances. The pursuit of Ikigai is a deeply personal exploration, with the ultimate goal being to achieve a sense of balance and fulfillment that resonates within, and extends outward, to enrich the lives of others.

Ikigai Life Coach
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been deeply captivated by the beauty of Japanese philosophy, culture, and their unique approaches to business. Over the years, this fascination has shaped much of my personal and professional life. The cornerstone of my business approach—and the key to much of my success—has always been rooted in my love for Kaizen, the principle of continuous, incremental improvement. This love for constant growth naturally led me to pursue certification as an Ikigai Life Coach. Learning the art of guiding others to discover their "reason for being" has been a truly transformative experience. It’s a gift to be able to help others find purpose, alignment, and fulfillment in their lives. I know this knowledge will not only enhance my personal journey but will make me a better mentor for my volunteer work and a more effective leader in my professional career. There’s nothing that brings me more joy than helping others reach their goals, and this is just one more tool in my toolbox—one that I deeply love and am excited to share with others. As I continue to lead, teach, and inspire, I look forward to using the wisdom of Ikigai to help those I serve reach their fullest potential, living lives of meaning and vitality.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I sign up for a course?
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.
