From day one, the course was intense — like being thrown into an exhilarating ice bath, but with all the health benefits. You begin coaching immediately, which is both daunting and incredibly rewarding. The entire team is exceptional, from the coaches through to the support staff, and what truly sets them apart is that every member of the team has completed the course themselves. That means no matter what you are experiencing, they understand it and can support you at every level. Your fellow participants are equally impressive. You form strong bonds very quickly because from the outset you are sharing real challenges and coaching each other through them, which creates a level of trust and connection that is rare in most learning environments. Even for those not intending to establish a coaching business, the skills gained are profoundly transferable, enhancing both professional performance and everyday life. I cannot recommend this course highly enough. Thank you, Andy, and the entire Coaching Team.

Overall, this course was fantastic. Having not trained with Andy previously I was a little nervous about the content, style and how I would find it all but I needn't have been. The pace, style and content were super relatable, easy to follow and well paced. I learnt a lot about myself and where I wanted to focus my time and energy during the course. It has helped me move from inaction and ideas to accountable actions with clarity and direction which allowed me to develop effectively, gaining more business and make tangible progress towards where I want to take my coaching. The biggest wins for me were joining a community, learning about areas I had so little knowledge on and wouldn't have known where to start (e.g., digital marketing) and gaining clarity - leading to motivation and action! I'd highly recommend this to others looking to understand, explore and develop their coaching business.

The course surpassed my expectations. I enjoyed the class time, the Kajabi learning and the interaction with Andy and other world class learners. The on and off line marketing modules were superb in that they really got me to think about my "ideal" client and where to find them. I am in full-time employment, however this MBA has given me faith that I can take the leap into coaching permanently. Just do it!

I was most fearful joining the course about being inadequate, thinking other people who were further along in their coaching careers would be too advanced for me to keep up with. The Reality is that the course focuses on building a scalable business bringing everyone to the same entrepreneurial starting line regardless of their prior coaching experience. My biggest insight was realising that I was over-complicating everything. The course taught me that clarity and simple action are more powerful than perfection. The structure encouraged me to live the learning by applying basic frameworks to my business. My coaching business has improved by becoming much more focussed. Before, I was offering a general coaching service. The course has helped me to define my niche, my value proposition, and my Ideal Client Profile. My biggest win is the transformation of my identity. I now feel like I am a Small Business Owner, not just a Coach. This shift has given me gave me the mindset of an entrepreneur, making decisions which focus on my long-term goals of the business.

I started the coaching and positive psychology diploma in Oct 2024 when I was tired and getting burned out with my corporate sales manager position. I loved this course because it was all based around being really ethical, I had no idea about coaching apart from what little I had done with my sales teams era. This was a new level, it opened my eyes to just how powerful a managed conversation can be . The training was first class, the trainers were so friendly and helpful and Andy himself is such an inspiration .i was nervous about not knowing anyone but you just get to speak to so many people on the cohort that you become a great little community and helping each other out . My life changed on its head as I decided to resign from my position and start up my own coaching business after graduating in may 2025. It just felt like the right thing to do- it completely aligned with who I am. Thank you to Andy and all the amazing team that work alongside and I’ll be doing the business course really soon as I value your ethics and training methods very highly indeed .

My decision to enroll in the Coaching Diploma course was sparked by one of Andy’s videos, which highlighted the unique opportunity for personal growth that comes with an alcohol-free journey. This struck a chord with me, and I knew I had to take the plunge. The course exceeded my expectations—featuring fantastic trainers, including Andy himself, engaging lectures, and a wonderful mix of diverse classmates. What I appreciated most was the emphasis on practical coaching work. Although it was intimidating at first, it turned out to be incredibly rewarding and truly the quickest way to learn. As a corporate executive, I find myself using the course as a framework for leadership and team engagement, and I aspire to start my own coaching practice in coming years. I apply the principles of positive psychology regularly at work and even with my kids. For anyone passionate about learning and eager to elevate their life, I wholeheartedly recommend this amazing course!

Taking the Positive Psychology course has been one of the most enriching and transformative experiences of my development journey. What I enjoyed most was how the training managed to be both deeply informative and genuinely uplifting. The sessions were practical, engaging, and grounded in real science, yet always delivered with warmth and humanity. I felt encouraged, not overwhelmed and that made all the difference. When I signed up, I carried a huge amount of fear with me. As someone who had lived for years with imposter syndrome, I worried that I wouldn’t keep up, that I’d stand out, or that others would “see through me.” The reality was completely different. From day one, I was welcomed into a space where curiosity was valued, vulnerability was normal, and growth was expected, not perfection. Instead of feeling like an imposter, I felt like I finally belonged. My biggest insight from the training was realising just how much power my mindset had over the way I experienced life and, more importantly, how capable I was of changing it. Learning about strengths, reframing, resilience, and growth mindset allowed me to see myself through a far kinder and more accurate lens. It was like being handed the tools to rewrite a story I had unknowingly been living in for years. The impact on me has been profound. I’ve shifted from someone who questioned their worth to someone who feels grounded, capable, and ready to support others with confidence and compassion (well most of the time!). I now approach coaching and life from a place of curiosity and possibility rather than fear and self-doubt. This isn’t a temporary boost; it feels like a genuine transformation that I’ll continue building on. I originally started the course because I wanted to grow as a coach and deepen my understanding of positive psychology. What I didn’t expect was how much it would change me personally. This course didn’t just give me skills, it gave me clarity, confidence, and a renewed belief in my own potential. I’m incredibly grateful for this journey. It hasn’t just shaped the coach I’m becoming; it’s shaped the person I am.

This course was truly transformative. It exceeded my expectations in every way and gave me the confidence, clarity, and presence to coach powerfully and authentically. I decided to enroll in the Coaching and Positive Psychology Certificate course because I want to do more meaningful, human-centered work. What I enjoyed most was the mix of teaching methods, learning directly from Andy and Naomi, and taking all the learnings into real practice. I joined to learn coaching skills but evolved so much personally throughout the course as well. Before starting, I was worried I wouldn’t be ready or that I’d get it wrong, but the course & everyone enrolled, created so much safety that I quickly learned I didn’t need to have all the answers. This course didn’t just teach me how to coach, it changed how I show up in the world. I’d recommend it to anyone ready for deep growth and real impact.

The training offered exceptional insight into coaching clients toward an alcohol-free lifestyle. Andy’s energy and passion were not only impressive but contagious. It was a fantastic foundation for launching our own alcohol-free coaching journey

I went into the course feeling both excited and nervous. I was genuinely fearful of that classic “creeping death” feeling you sometimes get in training, where everyone has to speak in turn and the pressure builds. The reality couldn’t have been more different. Andy framed everything through a growth mindset, which made it so much easier to step out of my comfort zone and speak up. At no point did I feel judged, and there were no “silly questions”. Instead, it felt like being part of a real team, with Andy and the other coaches always there for us and cheering us on. What I enjoyed most was that sense of support and belonging. We were encouraged, challenged in a positive way, and able to learn from one another without any fear. That atmosphere helped me grow far more than I expected, and it was clear the coaches genuinely cared. My biggest insight was realising how much our own “map of the world” shapes how we think and communicate. Understanding that has changed the way I speak to people, both at work and at home. I now notice limiting beliefs in conversations, and I’ve even started using coaching techniques with my husband and my ten-year-old daughter. It’s already making a difference. As a result of the course, I feel more confident, more open-minded, and much better at helping others find their own solutions. I’m calmer, more curious, and able to step back and ask questions rather than jumping in with answers. I decided to start the course because I needed to try something different. I’d spent a few years struggling to find career happiness, and I was coming out of a difficult period in my life. I wanted to rebuild, grow, and give something back. This course has been exactly what I needed, and I’m really glad I took the leap.

I attended the DCPP and Alcohol specialism courses in 2025 and my decision to train with Andy Ramage was down to his enthusiasm, force of personality and vision. I wasn’t disappointed; the course prepares you brilliantly for a career or career enhancement as a coach and the team including all the coaching lecturers foster an incredible sense of community that’s well supported by their use of technology to connect people studying together. The enthusiasm and diligence with which we are taught is endless, and the team do everything they can to help a lot of very busy people finish the course and pass. I’ve loved the experience and it’s been a real wake up call for me after so long trying to decide what to do next with my career. All my fears that it might not be as good as I’d hoped, that I hadn’t studied for years and that I might not enjoy it or be good at it have faded away and I’m really enthused about my future.

This course has been an absolute game changer. Before starting, I had a rough idea of what I wanted my coaching business to look like. Now, I have complete clarity on who I serve, where to find them, and exactly what I offer. The business is baked and ready to go, and I genuinely can’t wait to launch. As with all of Andy’s courses, the group dynamic was powerful. The access to Andy himself was worth the price alone—his insight and guidance were exceptional. What really shifted for me was the focus on niche. It helped me see what was right in front of me all along and gave me the confidence to own it. The course is well-paced, with the flexibility to join live or catch up in your own time. The addition of Emma’s social media training was a huge bonus—it’s already helping me build my online presence. I’d recommend this course to anyone starting out in coaching, or even those already established who want to sharpen their focus and grow with purpose.

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to Andy and the entire team. I enrolled in this course with the goal of starting my own coaching business. At that time I was experiencing a fair degree of anxiety. Questions raced through my mind: Am I too old? Am I smart enough? Will I succeed? Will it be financially viable? However, as the course progressed, my fears and self-doubt began to fade away. The training days are filled with energy and positivity, and the online resources and additional support are truly exceptional. Even better, my learning has been incredibly insightful. I have learned to question and rationalise my self-limiting beliefs, reframing them when they arise to offer a more skilful realistic alternative. For me, this course has transpired to be so much more than an investment, it is also a gift, a gateway to a more rewarding and peaceful way of being.

I have loved the course. It has been paced really well. It has given me a great opportunity to self reflect, as well as develop my coaching skills.

I have loved doing the coaching course, it has given me some great connections with all the members of the course, and helped me to find out things about myself that I never knew. As I'm sure most of us did, I had my doubts about my own abilities when I started, one of the best things I've learnt is that I am more than capable of doing this, and helping many others on my journey. My major insight has been the power of connections and helping others, I feel it has been a constant journey of learning so much knowledge, and reflecting about my own life in this world, it has changed my outlook on life, as well as habits I wasn't sure I even wanted to change, but diving in to my awareness of my surroundings, I have made profound changes to my life, very much for the better. I started the course to begin doing remote work which would give me the option to travel, the reality is much better than I ever could have hoped for, big thanks to Andy and the team.

A truly transformational experience. The teaching by Andy and Team was so engaging, - clearly backed by scientific and researched principles, with a strong emphasis on practical application. As well equipping me with extensive coaching tools, the positive psychology and personal development aspects have given me impetus for positive action, and renewed a lifelong thirst for learning. Highly recommended!

This course is absolutely brilliant. As a coach in training you will be extremely well supported by the CBS team and the excellent course materials. There is plenty of coaching practice available and I definitely feel ready to go out into the world and coach effectively. Spread over 6 months meant I could do this comfortably in my own time in addition to an almost full-time job. A bonus is you get coached all the time yourself! Is it worth the investment? - I definitely think so.

There is so much to like about this course! Andy leads the course, and the teaching methods from Andy and Naomi are second to none, they make the learning so interesting. From interactive training days, to board work, slides, breakout rooms, inner circle, coach club, and supervision from Naomi, and Louise. There is such varied learning, and it's never dull. Louise and Steph monitor and give feedback to the Duad and Triad sessions, and are positive and supportive. Before starting the course I was worried I wouldn't be good enough. From my learning, the reality is I am definitely good enough. I am in a cohort with like minded people, that are friendly, kind and supportive. We are all good enough, and together we are all learning and growing. When I've had a query or concern, Louise and Steph have been a great support. My major insight from the training was learning about the growth mindset. I'd never heard of it before the training, but I've found it enlightening. We can choose to have a fixed or growth mindset. With a growth mindset we can reach our own goals, both personal and professional. I have changed as a result of the course. I now have a growth mindset, which has been a gamechanger for me. I also have more confidence and clarity, and I have grown as a person. I've enjoyed learning so many new things, and the transformative process has been amazing. I started the course because I thought coaching was something I'd like to do, to benefit myself, and the lives of others. I explored various coaching organisations, and The Andy Ramage Training Academy stood head and shoulders above the rest. Andy lives and breathes coaching, and is passionate about sharing his vast knowledge, to create successful coaches. I can honestly say, joining the Diploma in Coaching and Positive Psychology, is one of the best decisions I've made.

This six month coaching diploma course has been a transformative experience. The pace was fast and the content really stimulating but the support from both the teachers and administrators made all the difference. Their guidance, encouragement, and responsiveness created an environment where I felt challenged, stretched yet fully supported. I’m incredibly grateful for the growth this programme helped me achieve. To anyone considering this course, I would say - take the leap. It will be one of the best decisions you could make! Gill
