The information provided is very detailed, but it is written very scientifically and can be overwhelming and hard to follow at times. The quizzes at the end of the chapters are made up of vague open-ended questions that can be frustrating if you expect to get answer them "correctly." In the end, I expect to gain the knowledge I expected, but it will take multiple other study processes to get me there.
The modules gets around many important aspects of transformational coaching, and the journey feels thought-through. Many golden nuggets are included in the theory and descriptions. The dialogue-based learning is awesome and gives insight into how the coaching session might be conducted. What is lacking are alternatives to client challenges/problems/goals as mainly one example is given per theme.
The course is super informative and helpful, but there are things that could be improved. The audio does not have any markings, and it's just a narration of the text, which is hard to follow during the written activities. The quizzes at the end of the module ask questions that are supposed to be multiple choice, but the only option is to write a paragraph response.
I absolutely love the modules and how realistic they are for the learner, BUT I have a significant issue with the male-centered content. Module #10 of the Life Coach Certification stated, "Here’s one thing you should be clear on. In this program, we typically refer to clients in the generic masculine terminology. However, when it comes to dealing with these different types of people, know that none of these characteristics are necessarily gender-specific. Both men and women seek to fill their needs through similar methods at certain levels of development." I find this problematic because it adapts its programming to restrictive ideologies within Western thought while taking some of its principles from other diverse cultural philosophies that do not adhere to binary systems. This should be addressed.
I completed and passed the test over the Summer of 2024. I never received my certificate that I paid for so I reach out to support. They said that they have no record of me completing and passing a test. So I logged into my account and lo and behold, I had to do all the work all over again. Not the worst thing in the world but, not great business practices.
The adverts for this course, prior to purchasing, showed so many beautiful examples of work which led me to choose this course over competitors. Unfortunately, the course itself is all theory based and written content only with no illustrations or examples within. In addition, I personally found that despite taking notes throughout the different modules, the way the questions were phrased, my answers did not match. In addition, it did not always seem like the questions ask were not from that particular module which led to confusion. I came to dread this course by the end due to this but powered through one day to complete it. The final exam, by way of contrast, was really easy with obvious answers.
I found difficulties in understanding this course considering I don't have any background of psychology, biology and or medical science. Bit too overwhelming esp. towards terminologies.
Basic spirituality certificate but not really good for deep thinking
It's a very basic course. Good for dumbing down spirituality in order to teach others....but I don't feel like it fosters enough deep thinking and expansion....but more coincides with very basic therapy or counseling type stuff. Not really what I was expecting from the course.
I like it so far, I don't feel any of the information that has been relayed is anything I did not have prior knowledge of. I also feel that it could have more visuals for those who engage visually like myself.
