This is Australia's only Certificate IV in Mentoring and Coaching.

Join our unique Mentoring and Life Coach Training courses whether you live in Australia or around the globe.

Our blended style of learning gives the student support and opportunities to practice new skills and techniques in a safe and friendly environment while they learn.

Our course clusters topics together into a naturally flowing learning program which gives the student the skills and knowledge to create their own business in Mentoring and Coaching or take these skills and knowledge into their current workplace.

Students gain a blend of coaching skills, mentoring skills, communication skills and people skills combined with sound business practices and marketing know-how in addition to learning what legal and ethical requirements govern working in the field of mentoring and coaching.

What makes our course unique?

There are a number of courses in coaching in the marketplace. Our course combines mentoring with coaching skills. We equip our students with more than just a list of powerful questions and some listening skills. We believe that every individual has lived a life, journeyed, experienced, learned life lessons and grown from them. We have found that we can provide a richer experience for clients through incorporating the wisdom and knowledge gained through the mentor's life lessons with coaching practices. Our mentors learn how to empower the client to come to their own unique decisions, make informed choices with the guidance of the mentor's experience and learning. The mentoring is based on a coaching framework which focuses the client's needs and agenda while being able to offer sound options and alternatives based on the mentor's own experience and area of expertise.

In addition to this our students enjoy the opportunity to undergo a year of deepening self discovery and self inquiry to assist them to move beyond any potentially limiting habits or beliefs and engage in life with more harmony and happiness supported by our own team of senior mentors and coaches.

Humans are hard-wired for change. It’s in our nature to ask questions, to seek, to wonder. We dream and imagine. In a world that is constantly changing, the old question, “Are we ‘there’ yet?” can never be definitively answered because ‘there’ keeps shifting. We must constantly shift and adapt, learn, unlearn and relearn if we want to keep up. We must constantly re-invent ourselves. To do this successfully, we must first know ourselves well. We must be self aware.

A major focus of our life coaching and mentor training is gaining psychological clarity and emotional maturity. What does that mean? It means clearing out all old lose-lose patterning and programming from our minds and fully maturing the emotional aspects of ourselves which may be a little knocked around from less than ideal role models and upbringing.

Many people settle for mediocrity in life. This course in life coaching and mentoring is not for those people. This course is for those who want to be the best they can be in whatever their chosen field is.

As you work through the processes and lessons of this course you will be uncovering the true You! This is the gift that you are then able to take out into the world and share with others. Your greatest gift is bringing all of you to everything you do, your work, your relationships and your dreams.

Imagine a world where everyone on a voyage of self discovery – each supporting the other, unconditionally. The truth is prized and ‘success’ has a new meaning. Imagine a world in which the predominant thinking is in the spirit of “Let us co-create, let us co-operate...” instead of “I want.....”. Imagine being inspired and inspiring. Through our life coach and mentor training program, let us walk alongside each other to bring out the best in you.

As we stand at the dawn of this new era, flooded with ever-changing technology, bombarded with information, it can be challenging to discern the truth from illusion. Now is the time to change our focus. We need to learn to think differently, see in a new way, gain knowledge, undertake responsible leadership and to set a good example for those around us. Are you ready?

You can use life coaching and mentoring in your current workplace, in your family life, in your sphere of influence, set up your own life coaching and mentoring practice or work with a group of life coaches and mentors.
