Barefoot Coaching Ltd

I chose Barefoot to consolidate my training as a coach in 2016. Everyone I spoke to beforehand about coach training providers said that Barefoot was the only choice - and they were so rightGreat tutors and course materials. Brilliant challenge and support. Excellent venues. You are made to feel part of Barefoot from day one .Lots of folk have said it, but life changing is the only way I can describe my experiences with Barefoot.

I trained with Kim Morgan and Barefoot Coaching in 2010. I had been looking for a coaching training provider with a breadth of experience and knowledge of the industry. There are many coach trainers out there but from my very first conversation with Kim I knew Barefoot were the right company enabling me to complete a post graduate certificate in coaching with Chester University. I have subsequently returned to complete a presenting skills workshop which gave me huge confidence boost too.

I completed the postgrad business and personal coaching course in summer 2016. I had been recommended and followed up by attending an open morning. Joining the Barefoot community is one of the best decisions I have ever made. The course is excellent with expert content and a great variety of tutors. The team at Barefoot continue to support you after the course and I have since taken the Team Coaching course and attend their ongoing supervision sessions. The people on the course come from a wide variety of backgrounds and they become a great support network. I highly recommend Barefoot to anyone thinking of a career in coaching.

I trained with Barefoot Coaching back in 2014, on the back of a number of recommendations from colleagues. The course is a great mix of theory and hands-on work, led by a series of inspirational tutors, and there is a lively support system after completion, with supervision and conferences offered by Barefoot and a good alumni network. A brilliant course, highly recommended for anyone looking into a coaching qualification.

Barefoot Coaching delivers outstanding and by far the best ICF and University accredited coach training and coaching supervision. When I attended this training 10 years ago I did not expect to be carrying the learning and development I received then in my life today - it is a wonderful personal development journey in itself and gives you the skills to become a world class coach as well! The courses provide a learning experience that sticks and is well worth the investment. The integrity and passion of those touched by this training are a privilege to work with and you become part of an alumni that work together to get better and better at coaching.

I undertook the postgrad business and personal coaching course and achieved Post Grad Certificate in Business and Personal Coaching with Chester University in November 2011. I had researched various options prior to making the investment and enrolling, and attended a 'typical day' of the course to get a feel for whether it was right for my learning style. What a good decision! I found the course was excellent with a great mix of content and a variety of learning methods provided by a range of tutors headed up by Kim. Barefoot continued to provide encouragement and support to complete the necessary work involved to achieve the qualification. I wholeheartedly recomment Barefoot to other prospective coaches with confidence. For those serious about developing coaching skills and broadening their experience do get in touch with Barefoot to explore the options available.

I trained with Barefoot Coaching in Personal and Business Coaching in 2014, and cannot recommend the experience highly enough. I did a lot of research into training providers, and after receiving a recommendation looked into Barefoot. They were the only provider who felt right for me, a winning combination of established and yet not of the establishment. It was a significant financial investment for me at the time, but most definitely worth every penny. The training is a great blend of theory and practice, high quality teaching and my fellow delegates came from all walks of life. Barefoot and their alumni continue to be a wonderful group, source of support and learning. I am extremely grateful for the experience.

I trained with Barefoot Coaching and can highly recommend the course. The breadth of learning and approaches, together with the great tutors and a very supportive cohort of students allowed me to challenge my existing thinking and develop as a coach in a way that was authentic to me. Completing the essays for Chester University also offered the opportunity to underpin the experiential learning with some academic rigor. The Barefoot team are all warm, friendly people and a pleasure to be around.

My experience with Barefoot has been excellent. They have great academic, professional and pastoral support to enable each individual to reach their potential. They bring a depth of knowledge, across a range of approaches, in conjunction with compassionate teaching. They have also created and support an alumni community to provide a base for further learning.

I completed the Business and Personal coaching course in 2015 and then went on to qualify with Chester University on the PG CERT course. Once I had built up coaching experience, the Barefoot programme also enabled me to upgrade my International Coach Federation status to Associate Certified Coach. It was a brilliant programme - 3 long weekends over 3-4 months. There has been first class follow up since with regular CPD and supervision sessions. Thoroughly recommended for anyone starting out in coaching.
