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.

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.
