I completed the Life Class Certified Coach Training in 2021 and found it to be a valuable introduction to coaching principles and practice. The course offers a very clear structure, with modules that consistently build on your learning. These are supported by live coaching calls with Jacqueline herself, which integrate your learning and reflect Jacqueline’s commitment to helping you become the very best coach you can be.

The course offers a very clear structure, with modules that consistently build on your learning. These are supported by live coaching calls with Jacqueline herself, which integrate your learning and reflect Jacqueline’s commitment to helping you become the very best coach you can be.
The experience gave me the confidence to step away from my employed role and start my own coaching business. Five years on, I can see that the Life Class course provided a solid foundation for my coaching journey and has played an important role in where I am today as an award-winning coach with hundreds of hours of coaching experience under my belt.

Working with Jacqueline as my teacher was both a pleasure and an extremely valuable experience.
The live coaching calls were particularly impactful: being taught while coaching allowed me to immediately apply the tools and receive real-time, practical feedback. Jacqueline is highly attentive, deeply engaged, and provides very insightful guidance.
The materials, especially the audio recordings of her own coaching sessions, were also a great source of learning.
This training has strengthened both my coaching practice and my personal development. I highly recommend her program.

I found The Life Class to be genuinely impactful both inspiring and, at times, truly transformative. What stood out to me was how practical and focused it is; rather than spending time on theory, the course quickly gets into the real, meaningful work. I looked forward to our weekly sessions they struck the perfect balance between honesty, challenge, and support. At times they pushed me well outside my comfort zone, but always in a way that felt safe and constructive. I joined the course wanting to invest in my own personal development, and it came at exactly the right time …

I joined the course wanting to invest in my own personal development, and it came at exactly the right time in my life. The tools I’ve gained are simple yet incredibly effective in helping me better manage my thinking and approach situations with greater clarity and intention.
This has had a noticeable impact not only on my personal relationships with my friends and familyu2014but also in my professional life, particularly in how I engage with colleagues and lead my team.
If you’re looking for a course that is honest, thought-provoking, and delivered in a supportive environmentu2014one that challenges you while equipping you with practical tools for growthu2014The Life Class is absolutely worth it.

I did such a lot of research into online Life Coaching courses before I settled on The Life Class with Jacqueline Hurst. I chose the course because it was a lot more in-depth than some of the others, and the direct communication with Jacqueline and other course students allowed me to ask as many questions as I needed to. I really enjoyed the weekly calls and the practice sessions with other students, which helped to develop our hands-on skills a lot quicker than if we were just following and completing modules. The tests were thorough and the feedback from Jacqueline …

This is an amazing course and I would highly recommend it if you want to become a Life Coach or simply just to learn a tonne of things about yourself.

Training as a life coach through The Life Class has been completely life changing. What I learnt from The Life Class now forms the foundation of my own coaching practice and the work I do with my clients every day. I’m incredibly grateful to be able to pass on what I’ve learnt and support my clients in changing their lives by changing the way they think and what they believe is possible for them.

The Life Class honestly changed my life. I learnt tools that helped me navigate my way through the challenges I have encountered in everyday life, helped me understand myself a lot better and helped me in every area of life from career to relationships. Not only that, but I have fallen in love with coaching and I’ve experienced how amazing it is not only to help other people, but understand how coaching other people can help you coach yourself more efficiently. I’ve also been able to work, study and practice around my busy work schedule which has been fantastic. In …

I really wanted to learn more about Life Coaching as I wanted to be a Life Coach and so I decided to join The Life Class. I loved it from Day One. I was learning again which I never thought heading to 50 I would be doing, I was calmer, happier and in control of my life again. The one thing that will stick with me is as I went through the course, how clever it was and how it naturally unravelled each week, making more and more sense as we gained more and more information. So in the end …

The one thing that will stick with me is as I went through the course, how clever it was and how it naturally unravelled each week, making more and more sense as we gained more and more information. So in the end it all made complete sense. Jacqueline had taught and trained us to really figure this out for ourselves and carefully provided the props to get us there. I am in awe of her and she will always be an inspiration for me. I am now a certified Life Coach and I feel great. I would whole heartedly give my backing to anyone who is considering The Life Class. I now have all the right tools to stride forward and help others to do the same. I can’t Thank Jacqueline and The Life Class enough.

I recently completed the life class with Jacqueline, and I am so pleased that I did it. The course was challenging in unexpected ways, but I felt supported throughout the experience and I am excited to be launching this new part of my business. Thank you so much Jacqueline.

Coaching is currently an unregulated industry, meaning there is no single governing body that licenses or controls who can practise. The International Coaching Federation (ICF) is an independent, non-profit organisation that sets voluntary standards within the industry, but it is not a legal authority.
The Life Class is an independent school with its own proven methodology and training approach, and is not affiliated with external coaching organisations.
