What recent participants say

I’ve been a leader coaching my staff for many years but my training with Guildhall Ignite has moved my coaching to a new level. The course is practical and hands on, allowing me opportunity to practise the skills in a supportive environment. The tutors are wise, experienced coaches who inspire and equip you with new strategies and practical ideas and helped me develop through perceptive, constructive feedback. And, to top it all, I get a professional qualification from it too. I highly recommend coaching training with Guildhall.

The leadership is inspiring and the course provides a great balance between theory and practise. I have learned so much about myself and about how I interact with the world. I am delighted to have learned so many new skills, not just as a coach but as a human being.
