School of Positive Transformation: Integrative Coaching Certification

The course is open to aspiring professional coaches as well as therapists, counsellors, clinicians, educators, HR and organizational development professionals, wellness facilitators, and yoga teachers who want to integrate coaching into their existing work. The page states it is “suitable for beginners with no prior coaching background as well as experienced professionals,” so no prerequisites are required.

The curriculum is taught through more than 40 inspiring videos, 100 coaching practices, exercises and techniques, and over 20 hours of coaching demonstrations. Modules include An Introduction to Coaching with Yannick Jacob and Prof. Jonathan Passmore, Psychological Foundations with Catherine Bell, Positive Psychology Coaching with Prof. Ilona Boniwell, The Coaching Relationships with Prof. Peter Hawkins, Relational Coaching with Prof. Erik de Haan, and Goals with Prof. David Clutterbuck, alongside seven additional faculty members.

Students develop practical skills across listening, emotional intelligence, goal-setting, and supporting clients through leadership challenges, life transitions, wellness, relationships, performance, and purpose. Peer coaching practice is built into the programme so trainees apply techniques in real coaching conversations and receive personalized feedback from the community of fellow students and mentors.

The programme is led by Yannick Jacob, an existential coach, positive psychologist, coach trainer, and supervisor who has taught at the University of East London, Animas Centre for Coaching, and The School of Life. He is joined by 14 world-class coaches including Catherine Bell, Prof. Jonathan Passmore, Prof. Ilona Boniwell, Prof. Peter Hawkins, Prof. Erik de Haan, and Prof. David Clutterbuck, each delivering a specialist module.

Students also join a private flourishing community, attend weekly live optional Q&A sessions, and complete practical peer coaching practice with personalized feedback channels.
