What Makes Us So Special?
Why Study With
The Life Coaching College?
Okay, so you’re feeling pretty sure you want to be a coach.
But what sets TLCC apart from other coaching education programs?
Proven Success
TLCC is the #1 leading face-to-face coaching school in Australia, with over
5,000 successful graduates.
The Power of In-Person Training
We know categorically that our students perform better when trained in a face-to-face classroom setting. They are more likely to complete their chosen course, are more likely to have clients and are more likely to progress to further, more advanced, study. Here’s why:
- Direct interaction with trainers and fellow students
- The classroom is a much more structured learning environment
- Immediate feedback and support is available to all students
- The dynamic energy of a live classroom environment
- There's a magic and a vibrance to what happens in the room, live, in-person that's just not happening in the "virtual" classroom environments of our competitors
- The classroom setting has built-in accountability, which helps provide motivation for successful completion of the training
- We know that 80% of students who begin an online course fail to complete it! Our in-room face-to-face 'workshop style' training has a near 99.5% completion rate with completion certificates handed out at the end of each training ensuring success
World-Class Trainers
Our team consists of ten world-class trainers (including our founder and CEO, Glen Murdoch), each with their own unique expertise and specialisations. This diversity ensures that you’re not just learning from one person’s perspective and skills, but benefiting from a vast spectrum of knowledge and experience within our incredible faculty.
International Recognition and Accreditation
TLCC is internationally recognised by the gold standard in coaching, the International Coach Federation (ICF). This means our training meets the highest global standards, and our students are equipped to excel in the coaching industry. Additionally, all our trainers are accredited with either the NLPAA, ABNLP, or IANLP, further testament to our commitment to delivering the best possible training experience for our students.
There is no-one like us
As you research coaching schools, you will quickly realise no other coaching school in Australia has a face-to-face training program that includes what TLCC provides. Some have Coaching, some have Hypnosis, some have level two ICF, some have NLP, and some even have Positive Psychology. But none of them package it all together and deliver it in the face-to-face classroom envrionment that we have.
Marketing and Business Training
Training with us isn’t just about becoming a world-class coach; it’s also about learning how to run a coaching business. They’re different things. We provide robust training on branding and marketing your business – building your online presence, growing an audience, making sales, and more. At TLCC, you’ll get the tools you need to build a thriving coaching business.
Multiple modalities
TLCC believes in giving you access to multiple ways of working with your clients, so we include traditional Coaching, NLP, Hypnosis, and Positive Psychology. We also help you coach one-on-one and one-to-many.
Payment plans to fit virtually every budget
A simple program that lets you spread out your investment in affordable increments over the duration of your program. In fact, you can earn your Diploma of Coaching certification for just $100 per week. (Over 120 weeks)
You can earn while you learn
You can start taking clients after your very first weekend. You don’t have to wait until you’re certified. Many of our students are coaching and making real money within the first few weeks after starting one of our programs.
