Katrina Yim
Life Coach
“The Certificate Level 1 ACC pathway program serves to take individuals from any background into confident coaches by the end of the course. Bailey Balfour does this successfully by implementing a mainly practice-based learning environment.
The wealth of information provided to supplement the practical learning at the ACC level well exceeded my expectations, for which I am very grateful. The succinct combination of theory and practice proved to be powerfully effective, as it took me from coaching awkwardly to being comfortable and confident in my role.
One of the challenges in this journey was how vulnerable one can become when exercising the new skill of coaching, but the cohort space created by the instructors made sure we felt like we could coach and share these vulnerabilities without judgment or reproach. I’m very appreciative of all Bailey Balfour faculty members for the wonderful learning experience.”

Juliet Wilkinson

“I am so thrilled to have passed my Level 2. Thank you for all the brilliant teaching and (ongoing) support provided by you and your team.

Holly Casares
Director of Talent and Performance
“I really enjoyed attending the Level 2 programme with Bailey Balfour. The content thoroughly covered a wide range of insightful topics that significantly deepened my understanding of coaching.
The faculty were exceptional: patient, supportive, and highly talented coaches in their own right.
Additionally, my cohort was a fantastic group of coaches, and I truly appreciated learning and connecting with them. Their diverse styles and perspectives elevated the programme even more for me.
I highly recommend this programme to any existing coach looking to take their practice to the next level.”
