Students Says

Message from the Students

The programmes I completed with Kingstown College had a profound impact on both my leadership career and personal development. The learning helped shape my approach to wellbeing, leadership and coaching, ultimately giving me the confidence to build my own practice and transition into full-time coaching.

As a Learning & Development Executive, I completed a Diploma in Coaching with Kingstown College to enhance my skills. The experience reignited my passion for coaching and led me to complete two further diplomas. The knowledge, confidence and practical skills I gained enabled me to launch and lead an in-house coaching programme within my organisation.

Completing my coaching qualification with Kingstown College was one of the best investments I have made. The learning was practical, engaging and thought-provoking, while the strong alumni community and ongoing development opportunities continue to support my growth. It has given me a foundation I will build on for years to come.

Kingstown College delivered a learning experience that was both academically robust and deeply supportive. What stands out most is the ongoing commitment to graduates through CPD events, resources and alumni engagement. The connections and support I gained continue to strengthen my coaching practice today.

The flexibility and quality of the programme made it possible to balance study with a busy professional schedule. The facilitators were knowledgeable, approachable and highly experienced. Just as valuable were the relationships built with fellow learners, many of which continue today.
