UK College of Personal Development Reviews 

I've just completed by ILM Level 5 Certificate in Coaching and Mentoring via UKCPD.
They have been brilliant from start to completion - lots of helpful resources, templates and training sessions.
Mel (my assigned tutor) has given me great support and advice, and Tony's daily/weekly inspirational quotes and videos have been very motivational.
Thoroughly recommend this organisation for training and for their ongoing development, which I'm going to take up
Thank you!!

I first passed my ILM Level 5 10 years ago. However an admin error at the time meant that the information never got fully passed over to the ILM. When I started working as a coach in 2024 I found out that I needed to redo elements of my qualification. UKCPD were extremely professional and patient at helping me navigate what needed to be done. I cannot thank Mel and Tony enough.

I had an excellent experience with the UK College of Personal Development. It was a straight forward enrollment, materials sent over promptly and affordable! I was able to develop my knowledge and skills as well as balancing other aspects of my life. My assingned tutor Mel was so supportive and flexible. Overall a great experience and now being a member of the college, having access to the ongoing learning seminars and opportunities as they come is fab.
Thank you!

Right from the very beginning my experience with UKCPD has been one of prompt, courteous and informative contact. From the start of my coaching programme my tutor has been on hand, flexible and extremely knowledgeable, helping with all manner of questions and queries.
If you're pursuing a professional organisation that will support you throughout then look no further.

Attended the coaching supervision workshop. Loved it. What impresses me the most with UKCPD is how they continually surpass expectations. The same experience with this workshop. Michelle explained the premise and the session flowed. It was great to hear the knowledge from other coaches. Again UKCPD do an excellent job connecting their learners. I hope there will be more of these. I would happily pay an annual fee to have regular supervision sessions in place. Thank you.

Tony and the team have created an excellent course - in the world of Life Coaching courses, you get what you pay for and this is truly reputable and a wonderful learning experience. The team are always on hand to help and I found the structure and delivery of the course second to none. It was recommended to me by my manager at IBM. You won’t find a better course on Life Coaching with such experienced, passionate tutors. Thanks Tony, Mel and Chris!

After doing a lot of research I eventually found UKCPD to complete my NLP Coaching Practitioner course. It is not overstating it to say that it has been life-changing, not only altering my direction in life, but also from the close friends that I made as a result of this course.
As a veteran of many training courses and as a part-time teacher, I was seriously impressed with the content and delivery. Always engaging, interesting and thought-provoking with some superb direction on further reading in each topic.
Even if you have no plans to become a coach, this course will bring focus to your intentions and enhance your interactions and communications with others to such an extent it would be impossible not to improve your life in a meaningful way.

Tony (Nutley), all the tutors and course facilitators are incredibly skilled and adept at delivering courses online in an engaging and impactful manner. I thoroughly enjoyed the 8 month live online course and will be back for more courses to advance my learning and experience.

A truly life changing course not only personally but also incredibly professionally. I also complete the course feeling part of an ongoing supportive learning community.

Thank you Tony and look forward to the next course!

I want to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional training provided by the UKCPD team. This course has been truly transformative, marking the beginning of a new chapter for me, both professionally and personally.
The structure and content of the course were outstanding. The curriculum was comprehensive and meticulously organised, offering a perfect blend of theory and practical application. The professionalism and dedication of the team to our success were exemplary, and the support I received throughout the course was excellent.
Meeting and learning from the UKCPD team has profoundly impacted my life, and I am confident that this is just the start of much more growth and learning. The insights and skills I have gained are already making a significant difference in my coaching practice.
I am eager to continue growing with UKCPD, learning more, and staying connected with all the fantastic individuals I have met through this experience. The entire journey has far exceeded my expectations, and I cannot thank the team enough for this incredible opportunity.

Thanks Again

No help when requested, nearly 3 weeks to answer a question. Couldn't download so the materials. Only time they were on the ball was when payment was missed.

Reply is absolutely false. No missed appointments at all. I did speak to you about the payment plan and replied to messages and engaged in the course.
It can't have been my account you reviewed.

On line study has worked fine for me in the past so I don't appreciate the incorrect judgement.

Poorly run and totally false replies!

Very unprofessional.

The service and training provided by UKCPD is superb. The team is really committed, experienced, responsive, supportive and caring. My tutor was with me at every step and relentlessly helpful. Huge thanks in particular to Mel and Tony.

Had an amazing experience with the college as I completed the NLP practitioner course. High quality throughout and very professionally done. Worth every minute.

I have just submitted my ILM Level 7 in executive coaching and wanted to give some feedback in praise of UKCPD and in particular, my wonderful tutor, Mel.

When I wasn’t sure which qualification to peruse Tony was wonderful in giving his time and wisdom in making the right choice for me and what I ultimately wanted from undertaking another qualification.

Mel was responsive and supportive in her guidance - exactly what you would wish for in a tutor when endeavouring to undertake and successfully complete such a mammoth project with many different requirements. She was patient and reassuring when I started panicking after months of procrastination, and helped me focus and step by step get it done. Knowing she was there for me to ask any questions, no matter how small, really helped relieve my overthinking tendencies and enable me to take action.

She was also an amazing coach supervisor, as she was kind, insightful, and wise. Having had some anticipation about the supervision process my perspective on how it can be has changed completely. In particular through the skilled way in which she gently facilitated and increased my awareness as a coach in spite of my overly critical self-evaluation perfectionist traits. This enabled me to uncover the useful learning available from the coaching experience, increasing both my confidence and the benefit for my future clients.

Thank you.

UKCPD gives you all the help and support that you need to be successful, whatever course or training you are taking, Tony and his team have all the experience, and knowledge to get you where you want to be. I cannot rate them highly enough, my score out of 5 stars, would 5++++++++++++

I thoroughly enjoyed my learning journey with The UK College of Personal Development.

Initially I was quite worried about my ability to achieve my ILM Level 7 Certificate in Exec Coaching and Mentoring. I had last studied at University in the 80s! I thought I might be a little rusty.

This soon dissipated once I realised that Mel was right behind me and wanted me to succeed. She was incredibly helpful and supportive. I am still in awe of her ability to read, absorb and critique swathes of material in what seems like seconds!

I enjoyed the online learning lessons too. Tony provided useful links to resources and encouraged deep reflection, both of which prompted yet more learning and insights.

I am delighted that I stayed the course! I like the fact that the qualification itself was both theoretical and practical and that I now have a professional development plan in place for the next twelve months.

I am looking forward to developing the coaching part of my L & D business and to continuing to learn and refine my coaching practice.

Thank you to Mel and Tony. The UK College of Personal Development is a great place to study.

Amazing course full of content!

Tony, Mel and his team were very friendly, professional and engaging. I followed the process and an now a certified NLP and Business & Life coach which is really helping my training business.

Thanks team.

I recently completed the best coaching and NLP course I have ever experienced, and I am truly grateful for the exceptional support provided by the team. The knowledge and skills I acquired have allowed me to achieve astonishing life-changing results with my clients. From the comprehensive content to the ongoing guidance, this course has truly been transformative, and I cannot thank the team enough for their dedication and expertise

Training with UKCPD has been an amazing experience. Having completed the 18 day course, I have come away as a Qualified NLP Practitioner and a Certified Business and Life Coach. I also came away with some new friendships and no doubt some future collaborations will follow.
The course itself consisted of fairly intense online weekends, giving it your 100% is essential to get the most out of it. The additional opportunities outside of those weekends are amazing and I look forward to attending more than I've been able to so far.
The content of both elements of this course was delivered professionally and thoroughly. A lot of time was built in to practice with each other, we received instant feedback to support us in our development, and Tony, along with his knowledgeable team, were always supportive of any questions, answering with respect and professionalism.
The whole experience was delivered with warmth and with the enthusiasm which comes from people doing what they are passionate about, Tony, Mel & Chris are certainly that.
I now know that this was the right course for me, the best investment I have ever made into my personal and professional growth.
With absolute certainty I would recommend UKCPD.

I cannot praise the college highly enough. I did the 18 day NLP practitioner and coaching certificate. From the start, the input was clear and organised. The teaching has been high quality, engaging and responsive throughout. All the tutors are incredibly experienced, qualified and well-read. The online learning is imaginative and well-managed, everyone is looked out for and supported. As I have learned and practiced the new techniques, I started to realize that my own life was transforming. What really stands out about everyone at the college is their passion to see all the students succeed, and willingness to go the extra mile to make that happen. This seems to have a really positive effect on the students and their relationships. I've made some real friends. The decision to do this course was without doubt one of the best of my life. I am looking forward to continuing to work with the college, and engaging in further education, supervision and practice as I build my business.

I've just completed the 18-day (9 weekends) "NLP Practitioner & Coach Certification" course. I can't recommend it highly enough. It's been genuinely transformative for me.

Tony, Mel, Chris and the team are expert in their subject matter, and the course is well-designed to build on each previous piece of learning.

There is SO much opportunity to practice built in to the course, that the learning really sinks in, and you're encouraged to start coaching early in the course to deepen your experience.

The amount of coaching practice and feedback you get through the course is amazing, but also the amount of coaching you get as course members practice on each other is huge. That amount of coaching is worth the course fee in itself!

On top of that, I've built some real friendships with others on the course over the last 6 months, and will stay in touch over the years to come.

If I had one regret, it would be about my own behaviour - I didn't start coaching clients as soon as Tony recommended, because I wanted to wait and complete more of the course. Entirely my fault, I was encouraged to start coaching early! As with all courses, the more you put into this, the more you'll get out.

The other advice I'd give is that this is a live course. Although the weekends are recorded, you'll miss out on so much if you don't attend live and get the practice. So treat it as a firm commitment to attend live when you sign up.
