The Optimus Level 2 course has been the best investment I have made, not only for my career, but for my personal development as well.
From the outset, the course is manageable, exceptionally well organised, and thoughtfully structured. You are supported throughout, with ample reference materials and clear guidance at every stage. The weekly live sessions are excellent: engaging, practical, and genuinely valuable rather than performative.
My cohort was exceptional. A diverse, committed, and deeply human group of people who brought real movement, insight, and generosity to the learning experience. The trainers are outstanding: knowledgeable, grounded, and generous with their experience. Each week is structured to allow sufficient time to practise, observe, reflect, and integrate, which makes the learning stick.
The neuroscience content is particularly well presented, with each chapter building clearly and coherently. The tools and frameworks I’ve gained are immediately usable not theoretical for theory’s sake, but practical and confidence-building. It is ideal both for new coaches and for more experienced practitioners seeking professional accreditation and deeper grounding.
I genuinely cannot fault the Optimus’s team or the course itself. It has been life-changing in the truest sense expanding my capability, my confidence, and my self-awareness.

My coach training journey was an emotional rollercoaster, full of self doubt and uncertainty about whether coaching was right for me. Optimus supported me through it, and most of that doubt has now disappeared. I no longer feel like a deer in the headlights. I feel like a coach ready to be let out into the world. The team are amazing: extremely knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely supportive.

I’m truly grateful for my experience with the Optimus. It was far more than learning coaching tools and frameworks, it was a journey of self-discovery, courage, and growth.
Through the programme, I learned how to coach others, but more importantly, how to trust myself, listen deeply, and step into the next version of who I am becoming. The programme is high-quality and thoughtfully designed, with an excellent balance of theory and practice. The learning environment felt safe, empowering, and genuinely supportive.
I would highly recommend Optimus to anyone looking for a coaching qualification that goes beyond techniques and transforms you from the inside out.
And as an added bonus, the people you meet along the way are truly inspiring, the connections you build are just as valuable as the learning itself.

The Optimus life coaching diploma has genuinely transformed how I coach. I have been a fitness coach for 14 years, and this course has helped me develop as a coach more in the past 6 months than I have in the past 14 years on my own. The structure gave me frameworks I use daily with clients.
Ruth and the team's approach to teaching is both professional and deeply authentic.
As someone who'd built a career in fitness coaching, this qualification gave me the tools to work at a deeper level with my clients.
I'd recommend this to any coach wanting to go beyond surface-level work. The skills are immediately applicable whether you're in life coaching, mindset, fitness, business, or wellbeing coaching. I would highly recommend this company, you will not regret it, and your future self will only be thankful.
It has also helped me on a personal level, too. I interact better with people on a day to day basis and have developed deeper connections with my friends and relationships.
I am grateful to the Optimus team for the growth.

I have had an excellent experience training with Optimus and felt fully supported through the course. The content and quality of training was exceptional and inspiring. The coaches are so knowledgeable, helpful and I would highly recommend Optimus to anyone looking to develop and learn more as a coach.

I’m someone who learns best when I’m actively engaged and can discuss things - that’s when everything really clicks for me. My journey with Optimus was honestly better than I expected. They’ve brought together neuroscience and psychology in a way that feels really relevant to up to date coaching.
What I loved was all the real-life examples they used - everything from career changes to personal development situations. It made the theory feel real and gave me practical tools I could actually use. Their online portal was really useful too. The support throughout was brilliant as well - I never felt like I was figuring things out alone.
The whole experience was eye-opening and helped me discover things about myself I hadn’t realized. And the best part? The learning and support don’t just stop when you finish - it keeps going. I absolutely loved it and would definitely recommend it.

Highly professional and empathetic instructors
I enrolled in this course in May 2025 and it was the best decision ever.

Reply from Optimus coach Academy
I am so pleased that I chose Optimus for my coaching training. I had researched course providers extensively and Optimus was by far the best available. Ruth gave her time to discuss the process and my needs and it is easy to see how much she cares about the coaching profession and community. The whole team at Optimus have vast experience and knowledge and have been great to work with. Aside from the range of topics in the course content, Optimus is a community that I will continue to be part of. The resources available are extensive and so helpful in practical ways for business too. I have been really impressed by all that is available to us as students and alumni. If you want a large scope of knowledge to set you apart from others as a coach, with a holistic approach and ongoing community, I would highly recommend training with Optimus.

Excellent coach training company; just finished my 8 month PCC and could not fault the high quality service alongside professional delivery. I had a few concerns going in, but none of these materialised as there is help and support whenever you need it. Would thoroughly recommend it as my life has been transformed. Even if I didn't ever become a coach myself it would have been worth it.

The team at Optimus show real dedication to ensure everyone comes away fully equipped to start or improve on their coaching career's. I would whole heartedly recommend Optimus to anyone wanting to become a coach regardless of what background you're coming from.

I'd read many reviews before taking the plunge and booking on the Professional Coaching Diploma with Optimus. They all said things like 'fabulous' 'life changing' and 'empowering.' All of which I found to be absolutely true!
Having done a bit of coaching and mentoring in my previous profession, I came with a little bit of experience. I finished this course with much greater knowledge and understanding of the power of coaching and the enlightenment it brings.
The blend of neuroscience education and practical application is just wonderful. I couldn't rate the delivery, content and support highly enough. I honestly don't think I've had an experience like it when it comes to training - and I've done A LOT!
The clients I am working with have shown really great progress and have been so positive in their feedback to me. I know that this is without doubt because of the fantastic training I've received through Optimus.
Honestly, if you are looking to enhance your coaching skills or start from the beginning, you really need look no further.

I have absolutely loved my coach training experience with Optimus. The support from Ruth and the whole team at Optimus has made it such a positive experience. The trainers are exceptional and the weekly calls are really well organised. After months of research, I had shortlisted two coaching companies and had intro calls with both however Ruth and Optimus came highly recommended in different groups I was part of. I am so glad I chose them to invest my money and time with. The 360 support is completely invaluable. Our small group have become really close too and I value them all. Thanks Ruth and Team for a wonderful experience. Highly Highly recommend.

Training for my PCC diploma with Optimus was by far the best learning experience I’ve ever had. There is obviously a huge amount of care and detail that has gone into every single part of it, from the design of the material, the communication, the wonderful trainers, all the way to how the cohort was corralled and the alumni experience. It’s been so transformative that I’ve already signed up for one of their advanced specialist programme. I can’t wait to be back!

The programme is practical, structured, and very grounded in ethics and real coaching work, not fluffy motivation.
What I appreciated most is that you’re not left alone. There is always someone available to support you, ask questions, or sense-check things, which makes a big difference when you’re learning and actually applying coaching with clients. The feedback is clear and linked to the competencies, so you know exactly where you stand.
I also met genuinely inspiring people through the training people who care deeply about what they do and are serious about coaching. That opened doors for me, both professionally and personally, and made the experience feel much bigger than just a course.
This training helped me feel more confident and more solid in how I coach. It’s not about pretending to be perfect it’s about learning properly, being supported, and growing into your own coaching style.

I have absolutely LOVED my experience with Optimus. From the start I have felt supported, the teachers are so warm and engaging and the content and way it is delivered meant i was always able to maintain interest and focus. I really like the mix of mediums used - looking at frameworks, models, doing exercises in mini groups, watching recordings - it meant i was always focussed and interested. it never got samey. They listen to student feedback and are always looking to adapt and improve thr course and lessons. They get you coaching right away which whilst daunting at first, has meant I have built my experience and confidence up over time. 10/10 recommend, if you are interested in coaching sign up now!!

My experience at Optimus Coach Academy has been deeply enriching and professionally transformative. The programme combines scientific rigor with human depth, offering a powerful integration of coaching psychology, neuroscience, and ICF-aligned practice. What truly stands out is the quality of the faculty, the reflective space created, and the emphasis on ethical, compassionate, and evidence-based coaching. It strengthened my technical coaching competencies but also my presence, listening, and ability to work with clinets at a deeper level of awareness and responsibility. I highly value the community, the structure, and the standards Optimus sets for what professional coaching should be.

I want to express my gratitude to all the wonderful people I encountered in this program. The instructors were top-notch, the staff incredibly accommodating, and my fellow participants were truly encouraging. This experience has significantly transformed my approach to counseling. I've acquired essential skills and insights that have enhanced my effectiveness as a therapist. I wholeheartedly endorse this course!

I got so much from my Associate course with Optimus. Really first class teaching, an emphasis on developing coaching competence from Day 1, a fantastic, diverse and supportive cohort.
So much additional resource and supporting documentation to go through in my own time and lifelong membership of the Optimus Alumnus! Thoroughly recommended!!

An excellent company! I highly recommend them for coaching training. I’m so impressed by the tuition and resources available even after completing the course. Thank you Optimus
