101 reasons to complete your coaching qualification with Continuum Coaching Ltd
It’s not quite ‘101 reasons to choose us’, but the following gives a good picture of what you gain from completing your professional coaching training with us.
- We only use tutors who are qualified and practicing coaches with at least 5 years of experience; this means you get access to subject experts who can demonstrate coaching skills, not just talk about the subject

- You will receive quality written materials with additional reading, self-directed exercises and other suggested resources (amounting to over 300 pages)
