What an amazing experience working with Barefoot!

I have learned so much and and met the most amazing people.

The course leaders were engaging and knowledgeable. The course was interactive and gave opportunity for lots of coaching practice throughout.

Would highly recommend!

Learning from a variety of knowledgeable facilitators who were excellent in sharing their practical experiences
They were also very specific in their feedback when observing roleplays and case studies

I found the course to be exceptionally well-structured. Through learning with various tutors, we had the opportunity to experience firsthand different coaching styles, approaches, and personalities, which helped each of us reflect on and define the kind of coach we aspire to be.

I particularly loved the practical, lively sessions, which included active participation in breakout rooms and triads. The breaks between modules were a true re-energizer, especially for those of us balancing the course with full-time jobs and other responsibilities.

What I appreciated most was that we weren’t spoon-fed; instead, we were encouraged and challenged to think for ourselves — a quality that fostered real growth and independence as developing coaches.

My most significant personal gain from the course is the self-awareness and transformation I experienced — I now feel more empowered and confident than I did when I began.

All tutors were amazing — honest, authentic, respectful, and professional. The course materials were clear, practical, and easy to follow.

My only wish would be to have the opportunity to meet in person after completing the Flagship program, to connect beyond the digital environment and celebrate the shared journey together.

It was an incredibly uplifting and comprehensive way to study with really experienced tutors

Great content and tutors, gave me confidence in how to navigate the accreditation process

The Facilitating/Mentor Coaches were not only engaging and informative but also incredibly supportive. Throughout the modules, I felt secure and confident in their capable hands. The knowledge I gained has contributed to my development and boosted my confidence in coaching.

I loved training to be a coach with Barefoot. I wasn't 100% sure about coaching before I began the course but I needed a change and thought it would be useful, I have grown so much thanks to the course, the tutors and all my fellow coaches. Also as I am visually impaired, Barefoot helped make all the material accessible for Me. I would highly recommend Barefoot to anyone, thanks to everyone. at Barefoot!

I’m beyond grateful I chose to train with Barefoot. From start to finish, it was an exceptionally well-run and inspiring program.

One of the things I loved most was the opportunity to learn from different tutors across the journey — each with their own personality and style, which made the learning feel dynamic and rich. What united them all was the incredible quality: skilled in both coaching and teaching, with a grounded, human approach that drew on real-life experience. They didn’t just teach — they walked the talk.

The program was also very well organized, with clear materials and strong logistical support. Whenever I had questions outside of class, the team was always responsive and helpful — it felt like I was genuinely supported, not just enrolled.

The taster session was what sealed the deal for me. Given the time and financial commitment, I wanted to feel the right chemistry and approach — and I highly recommend doing this if you’re considering the program. That one experience made everything click into place.

The 4-hour, 2-day-per-week format was a sweet spot — manageable alongside a full-time job, and well-paced to keep momentum without feeling overwhelming. It helped me stay engaged, week after week.

And last but not least — my cohort. What a joy. Of course, this part isn’t guaranteed, but I honestly feel that the kind of people who choose Barefoot are special. The group made the experience whole.

If you're looking for a coaching program that’s thoughtful, high-quality, human, and genuinely transformative — I can’t recommend Barefoot enough.

Great tutors, good tools. Would benefit from more individual guidance with volunteer clients

Barefoot Coaching delivers a fantastic learning experience led by inspiring tutors.

The Barefoot programme allowed me to evolve my coaching mindset, building on my previous experience in way way that will truly benefit my clients.

I recently completed a coaching course with Barefoot, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. The course was very well designed, and the tutors were excellent. The small cohort size and small group exercises really helped to build my confidence. Additionally, all ICF competencies were thoroughly covered. Highly recommend!

Barefoot are an intelligently run organisation with a variety of really incredible tutors with a wide range of expertise. I feel totally empowered as a coach.

Very interactive and practical training with excellent tutors.

Great mission, course, company, tutors and content. Highly recommended and I think anyone who does the flagship programme will benefit, regardless of if they go on to a coaching career or not. Not sure what else to say! Thank you Barefoot :-)

This experience has been everything I hoped for when deciding to make an investment in my personal and professional development. Thank you.

A professional, supportive, coaching course that is head and shoulders above the rest - literally life changing, thank you!

I recently completed Barefoot's ICF-accredited coaching course and it has been a brilliant experience from start to finish. The course leaders and teachers are all incredibly experienced, knowledgable and supportive and the course really prepares you well for taking your first steps as a professional coach. I can't recommend the course enough and Barefoot as a company are always so easy to deal with and so generous with their knowledge and time, it's all been an absolute pleasure. I'm just sad it's over! Thank you Barefoot.
