Optimus coach Academy Bewertungen 

I came into the diploma after completing a different qualification. I felt like I needed something more robust to give me a solid grounding in coaching principles, as well as giving me the space and support to find 'myself' as a coach. Ruth and the team are not looking to make cookie cutter coaches here, there is genuine space for individual reflection in addition to gaining a solid grounding in foundational coaching principles.

Coaching is part of my life now, and the Optimus diploma gives me the grounding that I need to work towards formal accreditation. As a person from a professional background already, this is very important to me.

Thanks so much to Ruth and the team!

The coaching diploma I took with Optimus genuinely had a huge impact on my life. When I finally decided to train to be a coach, I researched a few different schools and to be honest, the ones I looked at, I remember feeling that I wasn't clear on what I'd get at the end, or how the course would run and what my on-going path could be. They all fried my brain! With Optimus, I felt that most of that was answered and the call I had with them helped clarify and straighten out some of my thinking. It's a huge investment and it's not a decision I took lightly and now, I'm so glad I did.

My outlook on life, the way I think, the way I approach things, it's all changed for the better (and yes, you CAN change! You will learn this on the course). I understand myself more than I ever have done. And you need this in order to help others; they don't say you need to put on your own life jacket first for no reason!

I feel like I'm becoming a better parent, partner, daughter and just a better human in general, with everything I've learnt and I'm so excited to be able to start building a coaching business to help and support others. Because really, that's always been my super power and now I have the tools, with access to on-going learning (because we're all always learning), to be able to do this in a constructive way.

I thoroughly enjoyed the course. All modules were interesting and some even blew my mind. Any time I had feedback, it was taken on board and I was listened to. Genuinely. It's a great combination of theory and practical, which was also really important to me as I can't learn anything if something is all theory-based, which was another huge pull for this course.

So if you're thinking of becoming a professional coach, with everything included that you need to get there, including on-going support and learning, you've come to the right place.

Completing my training at Optimus has been life changing. I have had the opportunity to learn, practice and grow both personally and professionally. The team are warm, friendly and always ready to help. Optimus provided everything I needed to become qualified and ICF accredited, leaving me with less stress and more time to focus on building my business. Thank you to the whole team!

I'm not sure it is an exaggeration to call my experience of the Optimus diploma anything other than life changing. It was so much more than I was expecting - learning, community, self exploration and understanding, a qualification, mentorship, intellectually stimulating and practical. This is a company that genuinely care about their students and go above and beyond in their delivery of service including beyond the diploma as we are now experiencing as alumni. I recommend them without hesitation for ICF accredited coach training. This investment will be a turning point in my career I'm sure.

Joining the Optimus coach Academy, was by far, the best move I could have made to receive elite coaching education possible. I had previously attended another coaching institution, so I can honestly say that Optimus does not only provide an incredibly in-depth coaching program, but provide students with other areas of study that will, without reservation, make them better coaches. Topics such as Neuroscience, Positive Phycology, Transactional Analysis and others gives the students additional tools to help their future clients.

The team at Optimus also provides invaluable mentoring program that consists of 4 hours of one to one as well as group mentoring.

As a recent graduate of the program, my relationship with Optimus does not end here. With their Alumni group we stay connected, can take advantage of additional training and resources as well as Triad and mentorship.

If you want to be a premier coach and support for clients to achieve their goals, do yourself a favour and register with Optimus coach Academy.

The best investment in myself and a transformational experience

I initially signed up because I wanted to become an ICF accredited coach. I was a business consultant and I was looking for ways of creating sustainable transformation for my clients and increase my credibility.
I had no idea how much transformation I myself will have after this program.

The trainers and coaches in this program are experienced and knowledgable and very supportive. I have met amazing people in my cohort and built meaningful friendships.
As a result of increased confidence I dared to increase my prices and market my services with more courage.
I made my investment back a couple of months in the program and I am so proud of my clients.

What I love about this school is that they are open minded, always listen to the students and everyone gets the attention they deserve.
I had the opportunity to practice coaching in a safe space and be coached and mentored.
There is also alot of support for building and growing a coaching business.
I recommend Optimus to everyone who is serious about coaching.

Practical enriching and value adding. I'm coming to the end of my ACC coaching training with Optimus. I've appreciated of course the content and the range of approaches we have covered. But it's refreshing also to work with an organisation that recognises this is an investment of time and money and openly acknowledges and embraces the business element of coaching that other training providers I felt either are squeamish and gloss over how to repay your investment or make promises that don't feel trustworthy. I've felt during my time with Optimus the value-add is ever present, there's more than I could consume in six months whilst working full time but I have an alumni group and access to more learning even post ACC training. Within reason they recognise sometimes life gets in the way of a best laid training plan and do what can be done to help students complete. I do sincerely feel and have felt Optimus trainers want you to do well, most have trodden the same path in recent years - standards are uncompromisingly high which is a good thing but people want you to succeed and be a coach with strong ethics and integrity.

Training with Optimus Coach Academy has taken my coaching to another level. There has been an abundance of opportunities to coach, receive feedback on my coaching, mentoring and explore many different aspects of coaching. I have truly loved every single moment. The support and guidance has been high quality and I am now continuing my journey as a coach feeling more confident and skilled. This has been one of the best investments I have made! Thank you to the Optimus Team

Best decision I have made in years was to join Optimus and upgrade my skills, knowledge and coaching. Excellent content and delivered by some of the best talent in the industry. I feel like a far more confident coach, have met the most amazing people and made life time friendships and a robust support network. I have also gained complete clarity of my coaching style, niche and my next steps. Optimus has been completely life changing and I recommend highly.

Without a doubt the training from Optimus is the very best on the market. Not only to go for the ICF accreditation but also the additional training in Neuroscience, Positive Psychology and the support to set up your business. The training is incredible and I’ve always felt very supported. I’m just finishing the training now and we’re being invited to an Alumni group where we will continue to get support. If you’re thinking about where to get the best training to become a qualified coach then you’ve found it!

I’m so thankful for Optimus and everything all the trainers do. The course is in-depth, the right length, and wonderfully supportive. You have hugely helped me on my journey personally and professionally, opening up a whole new world of possibilities! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Before I started the coach training, I had spent a lot of time deciding whether coach training was appropriate for me, I felt that I already “coached” my clients so I spent a great deal of time researching courses.

Of all the ICF courses I looked at, Ruth's offered a community, business development opportunities and I felt like she came across as a person where the others I had looked at felt more institutional and less personal.

I've thoroughly enjoyed the course – the surprise books arriving on my doorstep, the 4 hours a week on Zoom, the variety of interesting people and knowledge, the mentors and coaches and motivation of the Hub.

Now that I am further along in my training, I really feel that I have found “my right place in the world” – Ruth’s course has been transformational in my personal life and in changing how I approach my business, my clients and even where I see myself in the long term. Empowering women to take ownership of their wellness and wealth has taken on a distinctly more powerful meaning for me and I’m working on how that will impact my future clients.

I’d be contemplating training as a professional coach for years and finally decided to bite the bullet after working with a coach myself.
I was lucky enough to get my employer to pay and spoke to numerous colleagues and friends about their learning paths.
Another supplier kept coming up and I joined one of their taster mornings.
It was fine, but I just didn’t have the chemistry I’d hoped for. They were less flexible on their timings too and it would’ve meant lots of weekends away from my family.
A trusted connection then mentioned she’d done her training with them and if she was doing it again would’ve picked Ruth and Optimus.
I joined and listened to taster week sessions and immediately loved Ruth’s energy and the feelings I had around needing to become a ‘sage waving Stepford coach’ were banished.

The Tuesday night sessions worked well for me around work and family, although I would admit I was often pooped after a long day at work.
I was blessed with a super friendly cohort and peer coach and the size of c15 was perfect for creating rapport and trusted relationships. They will be friends for life.

Some of the content was material id covered throughout my career, but it either went deeper or the time and space to have practical supervision really added to it. The new content was just enough to be able to apply, but also to whet your appetite if you wanted to go deeper as part of your CPD.
I really appreciated the thoughtful matching with my incredible mentor Lizzie.
They also requested regular feedback and listened and adapted accordingly to enhance the experience.
What really sets Optimus apart is the significant bonus training. At times those of us working felt a little overwhelmed as we were unable to attend live, but the content remains available for you to watch and download for life. We’ve have meet ups post the course to review and discuss the content together.
The community support 121 service provided by Cherry and the team is outstanding and upon talking to others using different providers who have to pay extra to get ACC ready I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Optimus to friends and colleagues.

As a dating coach I wasn’t sure if an ICF accredited training would be useful for my clients, nor did I understand what it would involve. If I’m honest, I was afraid that the course would be a wasted investment, that it would take over my life and that it might even be boring!

I was already working as a dating coach for an award-winning matchmaking company and had trained elsewhere, yet my background left me wondering whether I was in a position to best serve my well-educated clients.

I didn’t want to be an average coach; I wanted to be excellent. I craved more evidence-based techniques and approaches to add to my business, but I was struggling to figure out what route to take.

After mulling it over for weeks, speaking to students who were already on the course, and lightly ‘observing’ Ruth Kudzi on social media, I decided to speak with her directly. Having discussed my fears I was still sitting on the fence. She gently joked that I was a dating coach struggling to commit. Ruth was right. Unwilling to let my risk-averse nature get the better of me, I signed up immediately.

Training with Optimus was a brilliant investment. For myself, my clients, and for my relationship too. I’m no longer anxious about needing to have all the answers and it’s enhanced my self-awareness and professionalism. I’ve seamlessly incorporated my new skills with my clients and the feedback has been staggering.

When I was looking for coach training there was a lot out there. I felt overwhelmed looking at all of the programs and didn't know what to go for. After speaking to someone who knew Ruth, having her recommended and having a call with her, I immediately felt that Optimus was the right choice – I felt they were invested in me and my success.

When I joined the course I was a beginner and I have grew so much in such a short space of time. I think this is down to the training and the support you get on the course - For example my amazing mentor Sandra, the sessions and the community. I can't sing their praises highly enough! The course is value for money and I believe it is life-changing.
It is the sort of thing which works whether you are a beginner or more experienced: I met people on the course who have been coaching for years and want to upskill.

2 years on, I now run my own coaching business and I have also been hired as an in-house coach for an educational organisation. I love my job-and I believe it’s all down to the training I received while on the course and the support Optimus continue to offer after you graduate.

I had been thinking about training as a coach for a while but somethings always stopped me from committing. After receiving some professional coaching in March/April 2021 from an Optimus trained coach, I was impressed and reached out to Ruth Kudzi.

Ruth and I spoke on Zoom and I decided to commit. Ruth was very confident this would be one of the best decisions I ever made.

My life has changed so much since that day and I could never thank Ruth and her team enough!

The course began in May 2021. I felt overwhelmed at the start but I trusted the tutors and the process and was thrilled to be the first from my cohort to gain my Diploma in November 2021.

It has been said that expectations can lessen the joy but this was not the case here!

Armed with the pretty big expectation that this would be one of my best decisions, I was very pleasantly surprised to find it was definitely one of my best decisions!

I got more from this course than I ever anticipated!

The knowledge, tools, teaching, and support is phenomenal. If you are sitting on the fence, my advice would be to go for it. You have very little to lose and so much to gain!

I highly recommend @optimuscoachacademy to anyone looking to complete any coaching qualifications- they are a great bunch of people with an such a passion for coaching that makes the course both insightful and enjoyable.

I am just coming to the end of my diploma with Optimus Coach Academy and have been studying and working as a coach for over 10 years! The past 6 months have been truly transformative in enhancing my skills and knowledge, deepening my reflective practice and self awareness. It has been the best investment in me since my Msc and the support from the Optimus Team has been outstanding.

Alongside my own learning I have partnered with Optimus to bring coaching to communities I work with who would never normally get access to that opportunity for personal development. Thank you Ruth and everyone at Team Optimus.

Great course, great support and great sense of community. Very comprehensive and high quality curriculum with lots of business support too. Not only do you learn the skills that you need to develop into a coach, but you learn a lot about yourself in the process.

I looked around for the right course for a long time and when I came across the Optimus Coaching Diploma I knew it was the right one for me straight away.

The course is wide-ranging, comprehensive and stretching. The fact that it includes mentoring is one of the things that made it stand out from other courses.

Highly recommended!
