What are coaches saying about our online courses?

Foundations of Session Design

The course has taught me to look more closely and critically at my own training. I hope that in the future I will be able to tailor my training even better to the age groups that attend my training sessions. This course is extremely suitable for the starting trainer/coach but is also very useful for more experienced trainers. In any case, I learned a lot from it!

Foundations of Session Design

Great course content, valuable for coaches of all levels, whether that's reminders on the basics or ideas not seen or used before - it's a great blend. Looking forward to researching the additional resources on specific topics that inspired me to look deeper, especially into the individual learning plans. Well done!
