The career niche training with Sarah Bramall
The career niche training session with Sarah Bramall, was truly transformative. Sarah is an incredible trainer who brings a perfect blend of deep expertise, high energy, and genuine kindness to the room. Not only was the course material incredibly rich and well-structured, but she also took the time to thoughtfully address every question from the group. I've walked away with a wealth of new knowledge and, most importantly, much-needed clarity on my professional niche.

An excellent session
This was my best experience of training with the Coaching Academy to date; the trainer was positive and motivated throughout and kept the training moving along at a pace so I didn’t get bored. The information given was interesting and I picked up lots of practical tips and tricks to take into my coaching.

Outstanding training
An excellent establishment that fully equips you to feel confident, responsibly and ethically practising. Excellent trainers with invaluable experience and knowledge. The guidance and support is phenomenal. The live training for Empowering the Coaching relationship was incredible, I felt supported, learning so much about important factors such as Empathy/sympathy, The training run by Sharon used learning styles suitable and adapted to all learning styles which is pretty amazing in my view, a huge feat, successfully met. I have come away with so much insight and personal insight on how I can improve and deliver the best service to my clients and use tools to self asess to ensure I turn up fully present and my best self for the client. Thank you Sharon such and empowering training!

Sessions too long
I like the content but the sessions seem far longer than is necessary. I really like the 8- 10 minute break outs, that's a really good time. But then essentially repeating the same exercise in the big room seems unnecessary. In the last session the whole first 30minutes was asking people, first in breakouts then altogether, our thoughts after the session the evening before. That's a whole quarter of the session!
Also, a previous session leader had said its fine to have cameras off during the main room sessions. That was really encouraging for me as I have Chronic Fatigue and staying on camera after a long day at work is a lot for me. But this time the trainer put pressure on several times to turn cameras on, with no thought given to those who might need to be off-camera for various reasons. This made me feel quite uncomfortable.

Hello, thank you for taking the time to share feedback. We are sorry to hear that parts of the session felt longer than necessary. Your comments regarding the balance between breakout discussions and whole-group reflections are really helpful and will be shared with the training team. We also appreciate you raising your experience regarding camera use. We’re sorry to hear this made you feel uncomfortable. Creating a supportive and inclusive learning environment is very important to us, and your feedback will help us reinforce the need for flexibility and sensitivity in our live sessions. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts with us. Best wishes, TCA Team

The 'OW' workshop was great; pre-work less so
The 'OW' workshop was excellent, superbly facilitated by Sarah Brammall - a real professional. The pre- work was OK. The workshop is fine and does a job but I found the supporting pre-work videos incredibly patronising. The tone is appropriate for a class of school children rather than adult learning. Something for the Academy to reflect on
