For Practitioner students
You've finished Advanced Coach Mastery. So what happens now?
It's the question we get asked more than any other at this point — what's next, what can I do, where can I go? Glen answers it in the video below, and the short version is: you have far more options than you think.

First, congratulations. You've completed Coach Mastery and Advanced Coach Mastery, you've been introduced to your first 12 coaching sessions, and you're close to graduating as a Practitioner. That's a real thing to have done.
Most students hit this point and start asking where to go next. There isn't one right answer — there are several, and they're all genuinely open to you. Here they are.
Option one — do nothing at all
Stay exactly where you are
You don't have to add anything. You can keep practising your 12 sessions and become the best 12-session coach there ever was — and that would be completely fine. Everything below is a choice, not an expectation.
Option two — the standard next step
Most students go here
Upgrade to the Diploma of Life Coaching
This has always been the standard pathway from Practitioner, and it's the ICF Level 2 accredited course. You keep everything you've already done and add the three pillars the Diploma is built on — NLP, hypnosis and positive psychology.
It's the broadest single step you can take, and for most coaches it's the one that turns the work into a practice.
- Certified NLP Training with Timeline Based Technique7 days
- Conscious Hypnosis for Coaches3 days
- The Positive Psychology series — wellness, mindfulness, strengths-based coaching, growth coaching, relationship coachingOnline
- Design Your Marketing PlatformOnline
- Plus a dozen further online coursesOnline
Option three — build your own way
This part is relatively new. You no longer have to take a whole program to keep going. Every training below can be taken on its own, in any combination, in whatever order suits you.

Speakers Training
For coaches who want to work from the front of the room — running workshops, speaking at events, or building a business from the stage.
- Public Speakers Training · 6 days
Take your 12 sessions to groups
You've already been taught the 12 sessions. Group coaching shows you how to run them with a room rather than one person at a time.
- Group Coaching · available now
All of these run live online as well as face to face. So it doesn't matter where in the country you are — you can do them all together, or one at a time, around the life you already have.
Not sure which of these is yours?
That's normal, and it's exactly the conversation Anthony has every day.
The easiest next step
Book a time with Anthony and talk it through
You've probably already met Anthony on your way through. Grab a time with him and he'll work through what would suit you, how it works, how to fit it around everything else, and when the next dates are running.
No pressure and nothing to decide on the call — it's a conversation about your options.
