Optimus coach Academy Reviews 219

I joined Optimus coach Academy in September 2022 after listening to Ruth kudzi podcasts series on her website.

After 8 months of intense training with 175 training hours attended, more than 100 hours of individual and peer coaching, individual and group mentoring sessions, I can confidently say that the training lived up to its promises.

The flexible training schedule outside of working hours allowed me to attend all training and mentoring sessions. The training sessions were interactive and insightful, facilitated by experienced and certified coach trainers.

Coaching Business mentoring sessions were also made available for all participants on a regular basis during the training period. I was able to access the e-learning platform for training session recordings, course content and best coaching practices.

The course content was rich and comprehensive with professional ethics, normative coaching models and evidence based advanced coaching models.

During the training, I was able to share my concerns and successes with my peer coaches and mentors in individual and group mentoring sessions. These interactions were also strengthened through our Facebook coaching community. These interactions will continue after the training through the Alumni Facebook community, various events and coaching supervision.

The optimus coach Academy administrative staff was very prompt in answering my administrative requests.The installment payment option available meant that I could spread the cost of my training over the duration of the course.

On a personal level, it has been a transformational experience because during the training, I was coached at least twice a week for a period of 8 months. I have explored so much during my time at Optimus with new insights about several aspects of my life and well-being. I have built solid coaching competences and developed a strong coaching mindset.

Optimus has equipped me to support my clients in achieving their full potential. I will be forever grateful for this transformational experience. I am currently the first certified coach in my country. Thank you to Optimus Coach Academy that I fully recommend for executive coaching, coach training and coach supervision

I really enjoyed my professional coaching certificate with Optimus. Over 9 months we learned various models and tools to prepare fully as coaches. Having this variety was really important to me as I take the elements that suit me to build my own coaching style.

The staff at Optimus were always really helpful and supportive and every session is hosted by someone with real coaching experience happy to answer questions or guidance.

I looked around for a while for a coaching provider but was recommended Optimus by a friend. I'm very happy I made that decision and would fully reccomend to anyone wanting to get a full, well rounded view of coaching.

I had a fantastic experience training with Optimus. I loved having a range of very highly qualified and experienced coaches delivering the training. The breadth of subjects that we covered was wide, as well as the depth of time to explore each was great. I felt completely supported and encouraged the whole way along, and really appreciated all the extra opportunities for group mentoring, individual mentoring as well as all the practical peer coaching experience. I feel like this all contributed to me really feeling very confident in coaching now, having started the course as completely new to coaching. That's not to mention all the amazing opportunities and support in terms of running a successful coaching business - business mentoring, marketing mentoring, business days with loads of different speakers, it was all phenomenal. And I felt I was in really expert, safe and professional hands the whole way through my experience from beginning to end. I would certainly recommend Optimus to anyone considering coach training!

The training I received at Optimus Coach Academy was first rate. I appreciated the transparency, skill and dedication of all the tutors, each of whom was approachable and considerate; always, you felt you were in competent hands. Well prepared and interactive lectures, study guides that distilled best knowledge into easy to digest essentials and pointed the way to the best sources for further study, lots of bonus materials, and most importantly they showed personal interest and care. Attitudes cascade from the top, and this culture is actively cultivated by Ruth Kudzi. It was highly professional with a strong desire to do it to the best of their ability, teach the ICF standards, and get it right to help students and their future clients. I respect their approach. I’m relieved and very glad I chose this superb academy for my PCC qualification.

Training with Optimus on their Professional Diploma course has been a genuinely incredible experience. I have not only developed my evidence-based approach to coaching but I have also developed as a person. Optimus support you as an individual and care about you and your progress. The course benefits from lots of practical experience and feedback. In addition there is huge amounts of added value from things like the networking opportunities, business & marketing support and inclusion in a community of like-minded and inspirational people which not only benefits you during the course but also into the future in the alumni group. The time and money investment in doing the course has been well well well worth it and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

5 Stars for Optimus Coach Academy! Ruth and all of the team are incredible, full of knowledge and highly professional as well as supportive in all areas, with all admin questions answered rapidly.
I already coach and have previous qualifications but this is next level, and will literally take anyone wishing to go to the next level, either as a self-employed or in-house coach. Its been the greatest investment I've ever made, a truly transformational journey which includes coaching practice from the onset. I've learnt so much about myself and others too, it's been a life-changing experience!
The additional information you'll receive is second to none, and the other people on the course are so like-minded it's like being part of an extended family.
I can't recommend this company and its events enough! If you're on the edge...just do it.

Optimus Coach Academy has been part of my self development journey and it has enhanced my experience in the process. The course was very well structured and I felt well supported throughout my time there. Plus I made some friends. I highly recommended Optimus.

Optimus provides the latest in coaching theory and practice via experienced and supportive leaders and presenters. The panel of coaches were willing to share real-life challenges and successes which was encouraging to me as a new coach!

Optimus the the real deal! Not just another course! It is the start of a new career, a new journey. Once you start with them you will never stop learning. The trainers, the group, the networking, the guests….it’s all amazing!

A fantastic coaching education for anyone who wants to train as a coach and give their clients the best support they can. Wonderful educators and a fantastic community of like-minded people are all attracted to Optimus, overseen by Ruth, who is incredibly passionate about the standard of her business and what she delivers. I looked at a few courses and was so pleased I chose Optimus for what I learned and the networking opportunities it has afforded me.

I came across the idea of coaching having dabbed into brand strategy. I thought it would be good to combine the two (I have since gone on to full-time coaching).

Someone mentioned Optimus on LinkedIn after reaching out to my audience for recommendations. I found another online. I cancelled the appointment with the other place after speaking with Ruth.

I went into Optimus thinking I had an idea of what coaching was and that I would leave with some knowledge of the tools that can be used.

I left having a defined idea of what coaching is, the boundaries in which one practises and the training to do so, in addition to an overview of the tools one can use.

The teachings are supportive and get you to think, and questions are welcoming, as is input. The support doesn't stop when you complete the courses, either.

I would sum up my experience of Optimus as professional and supportive with a genuine interest in teaching the skills guided by the ICF.

I couldn't be happier than having embarked on this journey with Optimus, and I look forward to continuing to hone my skills and experience with Optimus for years to come.

I did training with Optimus back in 2021 and I have felt supported ever since. I finally completed last July due to personal circumstances where I was completely supported by my mentor.
The course is run by those with outstanding experience who are both relational and professional in approach. It is a hugely practical way to qualify, with tons of practise and feedback; exactly how it should be. I am now a fully-fledged coach, accredited by the ICF. I can’t recommend highly enough.

Prior to taking a coaching course that would prepare me for the ICF exam, I researched across the EU. Optimus stood out with a package that exceeded expectations. One year later, after having no coaching experience before, I am coaching in my organization and also coaching clients throughout the EU.

With Optimus, I gained invaluable theory knowledge of Neuroscience, Positive Psychology, Psychodynamic approaches, normative coaching methodologies, and other skill sets that will help me to serve my clients at the highest level. During class, I have also met amazing peer groups with whom I am still in touch and work together even after training.

You should choose Optimus if you're looking for a course that offers more than just training. You will learn about coaching, industry, how to pass the ICF exam, how to start a business or scale up an established one, and many other valuable insights. Furthermore, you will receive amazing support from Optimus coaches, mentors, and peers.

I highly recommend Optimus if you are considering to train as a coach. The professional coach diploma is well organised and taught by highly experienced coaches.

There were three reasons I decided to train with Optimus.

Firstly, Optimus offers a fully ICF accredited professional coach diploma.

My second reason for choosing this course was the content. I have a psychology and healthcare background so the modules on postive psychology, neuroscience, transactional analysis and somatics felt in perfect alignment for me.

Thirdly, and the ultimate reason I chose to train with Optimus over another training provider with a slightly similar offering was the CEO, course director and MCC coach Ruth Kudzi. She is so passionate about coaching and training professional coaches whilst being down to earth and approachable.

Being trained by Ruth and her team then having access to their incredible resources as part of the alumni community has been a truly amazing experience.

It really is the gift that keeps giving from updated course material, a wealth of coaching resources, additional training, business support and a thriving online community.

I've experienced personal and professional transformation through training with Optimus. It has truly been a life changing experience.

Thank you Optimus!

The course is well designed, cover multiple domains with very skilled facilitators. Everyone from key trainers to facilitators to administrators are very helpful. Classes and other requirement went as per the plan.

Ruth is an amazing person. She is a live example of a coach who walks her talk. She is real, down to earth and very caring about people. I am ever so grateful that she has created Optimus Coach Academy because it has literally transformed my entire perception of what really coaching is and what it is not. I was sinking in the online world before but now I know the difference. Her program has everything and more for you not only to become and highly qualified and professional coach in any niche, it has also got all the info on how to grow your business. It is worth all the investment because this will be your life time go to place for coaching resources. I highly recommend!

I had been looking into developing my coaching skills for a number of years and wanted to find a course that enabled me to learn and become accredited as that was important to me. I found Optimus and am pleased that I did. I received exceptional support from the Optimus team and have grown in confidence to take the learning to better support my clients move forward. There is a great community of fellow coaches at all experience levels that continues even after you finish and the extra resources to develop a coaching practice have gone above and beyond my expectations. It is easily one of the best personal development decisions I have made.

I wanted to be professionally qualified as a coach and my experience with Optimus has not only helped me achieve this but has gone above and beyond in terms of support and the community it creates.

I chose Optimus because it had everything in one place for the training, mentoring and help to get to through to ICF Accreditation. There was a personal feel to the business and also a wide range of experience and knowledge in the cohort of students.

I graduate not only with the new skills the qualification gives you, but also an incredible group of peer coaches and ongoing support.

If you are looking for Professional Coach Training then I would highly recommend you consider Optimus.

This was my second Coaching program I had gone through in the last 2 years, but my first ICF accredited. As someone that had already been coaching, I broadened my knowledge and toolkit by leaps and bounds through the 6-month Optimus Professional Coaching course. All of my clients learn and grow through ways that work for them, and I feel confident that because of my Optimus Coach Training, that know matter what they bring I have the variety of tools, theories and knowledge that will help them get the results they desire. Added bonus: The peers in my class will now be lifelong friends.

My training with Optimus has honestly changed my life and my business beyond anything I could have expected. I was gently encouraged out of my comfort zone and always felt safe to try out new things.
Each of the trainers brings their own unique style and I loved how different they all are.
I would recommend training with Optimus 100%
