Finally!
A Life Coaching Course
That combines the Convenience, Affordability and Flexibility of Home Study with the Integrity, Quality and Support you need to become a Great Life Coach
In designing the New Insights life coaching course we knew that most people considering a career in life coaching are already very busy people - in full time employment, in parenting children, in completing other studies or in active retirement.
That's why we took the home study approach - to maximise affordability flexibility and convenience for our trainees.
At the same time we knew how important it was to ensure that the coach training experience was of high quality and integrity so that our certified life coaches would be on a par with the best as they set out to transform the lives of people around the world.
We like to think of the New Insights life coaching course as more of a comprehensive programme that imparts self-awareness, knowledge, skills, experience and coaching structure to our trainees.
Here's what you can expect when you commit to the New Insights Life Coach Training & Certification Programme:
A Certification Process that is rigorous yet well balanced and practical in its application, underpinned by a code of ethics and coach supervised.
Skills Training Theory that is comprehensive, well researched, yet easy to follow and apply with plenty of reflective exercises, practical examples and self tests in the written manuals.
Practice Coaching that is hands-on and substantial, ensuring a minimum of 50 hours of one-on-one coaching experience.
A Coaching Programme that is well structured, tried, trusted and effective in bringing about lasting change, backed by comprehensive pre-designed coaching session notes and supported by full length simulated coaching DVDs.
Attentive Support from New Insights staff, certified coaches and other trainees throughout and beyond the training experience. We go the extra mile to make you feel part of a special group.
Online Facilities like our Forum and state-of-the-art Journalling Platform both of which serve to broaden, deepen and enhance the trainee's experience, understanding and capability.
OK, let's take a more detailed look at the key elements of the Programme:
The Course Content:

The tangible component of the life coaching course is comprehensive, comprising almost 10kg of printed material, DVDs and CDs.
The skills training theory is presented in eighty sections, divided into seven Parts, each Part covering a key theme of the training.
The actual coaching programme, that comprises thirteen sessions is taught with the help of DVDs showing full length coaching sessions being conducted. By cross referencing between the skills training material, exercises and assignments and the DVDs and coaching session notes, you are able to build your understanding, confidence... and excitement about life coaching!
A unique feature of the New Insights training programme is the inclusion of substantial material aimed at assisting you, as a newly equipped coach, to establish, market and promote your practice, thus ensuring your business success.

The Certification:
The New Insights Certification process aims to ensure that life coaches who train with us are a credit to the industry - well-equipped and uniquely capable of helping us deliver on our mission to bring personal freedom, confidence and self-growth to people from all walks of life.
Our training focuses on imparting skills that, while powerful, are relatively simple to relate to and easy to apply within the structured, yet flexible framework that we offer our trainees.
It is our view that great life coaches operate primarily from the heart, not the head and for this reason our training avoids a highly academic approach and the presentation of complex, esoteric models.
The New Insights certification process, which is designed to meet the requirements for 'Practitioner Coach' membership as proposed by COMENSA, requires the trainee to:
Sign a code of ethics declaration committing the trainee/coach to abide by sound ethical practices in his/her coaching.
Demonstrate a sound knowledge of the skills training theory (which is reviewed through self-test assignments and a final exam).
Undertake at least 50 hours of direct one-on practice coaching with coach review of client feedback.
In addition, for those registering for our Pro course, submit to coach supervision and review of two practice coaching sessions (entailing at least 3 hours of coaching).
