What our GRADUATES SAY

It took me almost 6 months to decide which coaching school I would attend. Now that I am a certified coach with the ICF, I can say that Erickson International was the right choice. The quality of teaching coupled with rich content, made it easy in the end.
Daniel Sigouin
The one year Erickson learning journey was amazing and helped me to develop the competencies and skills that I wanted to learn. I established a network of awesome people around the world. 2 sessions per week and homework were on one side challenging, on the other side the professional facilitators and the efficient learning platform supported the fast personal growth. The atmosphere in the class was open and positive and the facilitators inspirational and great to learn from. The learning approach was very professional and a good mix of theory, practical demonstration and own experimentation. I highly recommend Erickson!
Dr. Katharina Gnirke
I've been through coaching training programs outside of Erickson and many other training programs. After completing Erickson, I recommend this program to anyone looking to further their ability to lead, parent, coach, or just work on themselves. The way the program is structured layers in understanding in an integrated way that had me leave with confidence and excitement at my new capabilities. The training program is dialed in to give coaches the best abilities to truly support their clients and make an impact.
Tracy L Thibodeau
10 months that will change the way you view yourself. 10 months of commitment but also lots of fun. It is definitely worth each and every minute.
Alessia Poletti
Erickson comes highly recommended, the learning journey has made me a better person and I think that is the highest praise for a coaching school. It has also provided me with the best possible foundation as I embark on this exciting adventure of serving people through coaching.
John Ahern
What a unique transformational journey. Learning with Erickson is truly engaging and inspires you to become solution-focused. The offering provides diversified tools and connects to the coaching model in a logical flow to enable coaches to continue their learning journey with the key principles and ICF competencies in mind!
Mayada Elkordy
I found Erickson after searching for local coaching courses on Google. I've consistently been pleasantly surprised and satisfied with my coach journey since beginning my coaching education last year. I've loved the philosophy behind the Erickson coaching model, all the facilitators have been passionate, knowledgeable and experienced. Also, the global network of Erickson coaching has been such a welcome support in my coaching journey!
Brian Kingston
I learned so much about myself and others! I was able to develop skills I thought I already had.
Stefan Bagehorn
I spent months researching and calling coaching schools. I knew I wanted a thorough program that would offer support and I wanted the faculty to be experienced. I made a phone call to Erickson and spent an hour on the phone with an administrator. After I hung up, I knew I had found excellence. My time at Erickson was exactly that. Excellent. From the faculty to the learning platform to mentorship every step was interesting, fun, exciting. It might be the best educational experience I have ever had. Because of this program I know that I am well positioned to be a great coach. I can't wait to help people achieve.
Charles Marroni
An amazing experience of successive stages of enlightenment. I was fortunate to be in a truly amazing group of 16 throughout the almost one year of training. We are still a tight group and still meet occasionally online. I believe coaching does appear to attract a certain type of individual, committed to changing the world, one coaching session at a time.
Richard Gaechter
I loved the instructors and formed lasting friendships with my fellow classmates. It has become a vital part of the services my consulting company offers.
Tara Paton
My virtual and face-to-face experience was a profound learning journey, one conversation at a time! I love the Erickson principles and find myself applying them regularly in my daily life. They help me maintain a healthier perspective on both life and my relationships.
Karolin Krüger-Bhatia
It was life-changing! I’ve completely transformed my approach with colleagues at work, and I feel I’m making a real impact on the clients I coach.
Sonia Katiya
From the first day of class, I've been extremely pleased with my experience. My amazing instructors and supportive classmates have made my coaching journey enjoyable and fulfilling. The Erickson learning journey has impacted my life both personally and professionally; I'm now more present, a better listener, and an overall better coach for everyone in my life.
Anourack Hardin
The nurturing and compassionate instructors made the discomfort of mastering new skills enjoyable. Erickson introduced me to a new way of communicating and building relationships. The training sparked my curiosity to learn more about myself and my approach to relationships, especially with my daughter.
Ian Cheng
It was life-changing for me, equipping me with tools for personal development. Through my Erickson journey, I found the courage to pursue my postgraduate education in Psychology abroad after a decade-long career as a Medical Sonographer. The principles of coaching helped me navigate this significant transition.
Josephine Nketiah
It was a transformative experience for me. The deep learning and understanding of the coaching approach dramatically improved my listening skills. The coaching techniques are helping me empower my team to achieve better results in our daily work. I’ve become a better listener and more curious in my everyday life.
Igor Pertsovsky
It was wonderful in so many ways! I am currently building my own client base and working as a coach with many amazing individuals.
Olga Beliakova
It was the best investment I made in 2023 and 2024 combined. My training with Erickson transformed me from a Talent Acquisition/HR professional into a Certified Career and Work-Life Balance Coach. It enhanced my appreciation for my skills, boosted my confidence and leadership, and allowed me to connect more deeply with myself and others.
Roberta Basili
My Erickson coaching training was invaluable, with knowledgeable faculty offering deep insights and responsive support ensuring a smooth experience. This journey has greatly impacted my personal and professional life. I've transformed my approach to conversations, enabling deeper listening and powerful questioning. I've become more empathetic and aware of human behavior, enhancing my effectiveness as a coach. I now feel confident in facilitating meaningful transformations for individuals and teams.
Richa Mahendra
Before enrolling in The Art and Science of Coaching course at Erickson, I felt like I was just going through the motions of life, ticking boxes without real purpose. My transformation has led to much greater self-awareness. I’ve intentionally stepped forward to focus on being the best version of myself, on "Finding My True North." I now take full responsibility for being the main actor in my life. I feel a sense of accomplishment in becoming a calmer person, engaging more meaningfully in the workplace, and truly enjoying each conversation.
Jeniffer Ochieng Musoka
I loved the training, the people, the facilitators, and the entire process of unraveling what it truly means to be me, especially in how I connect with others on a deeper coaching level. I ask more questions now and have become more present in my connections with clients. I’ve come to understand that everyone inherently knows what is right for them. My questioning has expanded significantly, and my curiosity about who each individual is in front of me has deepened on an existential level. This experience has fundamentally changed who I am as a person and how I connect with others, both individually and in groups, in my work and life.
Sinéad Harte
Erickson provided a well-balanced, insightful, and collaborative learning experience. Everyone I’ve interacted with—teachers, support staff, classmates, and alumni—has been generous with their time, making this one of the most impactful learning experiences I’ve had. I’ve become a better leader for my team by leveraging my coaching skills and am now able to connect with people on deeper levels, solving problems in more effective ways.
Matthew Frazier
The facilitators were excellent examples of both coaches and instructors. They not only shared Erickson's tools but also demonstrated how to apply them in our practices, turning knowledge into practical action. Using Erickson coaching tools has transformed the way I conduct coaching sessions. The focus is now on the client discovering their own path forward and finding solutions they feel accountable for achieving. I’ve become a more confident coach because when I ask powerful questions, it leads my clients to meaningful outcomes that they truly believe in. When that happens, I know I’ve fulfilled my role as a coach.
