Envision unlocking the profound capabilities of the mind, not only to rekindle your own sense of joy but to become a transformative force in others’ lives. Life, with its intricate blend of highs and lows, presents numerous challenges.

This journey isn’t solely about discovering personal happiness; it’s about becoming a beacon of hope, joy, and positivity, elevating the spirits of those around you.

You’ve felt it—the weight of life’s challenges clouding your own or someone else’s joy. It could be a coworker buried under stress, a child grappling with school pressures, or a friend lost in relationship struggles. Emotional resilience is tested in these moments for us all. But what if you could be the one to help redirect these lost souls, to guide them back to their own inner light?

If the thought of this excites you, you’re exactly where you need to be. Welcome to a transformative journey that isn’t just about finding your own happiness, but also about becoming a beacon of hope, joy, and positivity for others.

Be the guiding light for the souls around you

Imagine a close friend, weighed down by the pressures of a demanding job, strained relationships, and mounting life challenges. The toll is visible, not just in their lack of smiles, but in the slump of their shoulders, the weariness in their eyes. They’ve reached a point where even simple tasks feel insurmountable, and the world appears devoid of any joy or meaning.

Now picture yourself equipped with the tools and insights to guide them out of this labyrinth of despair. You become their compass, pointing them toward their own internal reserves of resilience and happiness. You help them identify the mental roadblocks that hold them back and offer actionable strategies to navigate around them. As they find their footing and rediscover their inner light, you experience a profound sense of accomplishment. In guiding them towards a better emotional state, you’ve not only transformed their life but also enriched your own. This is the power and fulfillment that come with being a Positive Psychology Coach.

What Happens After You're Certified?

This is where most programs leave you on your own. We don’t.

Module 10 is built specifically to help you take what you’ve learned and put it to work. Whether that means launching a private positive psychology coaching practice, adding it to existing coaching or wellness work, or bringing science-backed well-being into corporate, educational, or healthcare contexts, you’ll have a clear path forward.

Positive psychology coaches work in private practice, alongside therapists and clinicians, in corporate wellness and leadership development, in education, in retreat and group settings, and in online consultation models. The applications are wide because well-being matters everywhere. Whenever someone wants more from life, there’s a role for what you’ll know how to do.

In Just 20 Days, You Could Be a Certified Positive Psychology Coach

This is a self-paced, fully online program. No classrooms. No rigid schedules. No pressure.

You move through the material at your own speed. Some students finish in under three weeks. Others take a couple of months alongside their existing work. The pace is yours, the certification is the same either way, and it’s designed to give you real credibility from day one.

Experience Our Dynamic, Interactive, and Innovative Learning Curriculum

This first module, which is largely theoretical, aims to transmit the foundations of positive psychology. It will also allow you to draw up a profile of your client. It is an opportunity to explain that positive psychology is a science-based on numerous studies conducted over the last 20 years.

In this first module, you will discover:

  • The basics of positive psychology: what it is and what it is not
  • The different aspects of life that influence happiness, well-being, and fulfillment
  • The three types of experiences (the good life, the engaged life, and the meaningful life)
  • The importance of establishing a notebook of happiness and small pleasures
  • Tools and exercises that will help your client make progress
  • Twenty positive inspirational quotes
  • The complete organization of the first session

Here you will discover the 24-character strengths put forward by Martin Seligman, the father of positive psychology. Using the Via Survey Test, you will then analyze your client’s five greatest character strengths.

In this module, we will address:

  • The use of character strengths in various areas of life (wisdom and knowledge, bravery, humanity, fairness, self-control, and transcendence)
  • A list of actions and situations that will help your client express their strengths
  • The “the wheel of strengths” exercise, which allows clients to take stock of and reveal seldom used strengths
  • A one-month action plan to enhance your client’s core strengths
  • The organization of the second session

This module will address the genetic aspect of happiness, as well as the three concepts of happiness in psychology: the hedonic concept of happiness, the eudaimonic concept of happiness, and the PERMA model.

In this module, you will discover:

  • The five factors that influence well-being (positive emotion, engagement, positive relationships, meaning, and accomplishments/achievements)
  • The distinction between happiness and well-being
  • The use of rating scales
  • Analysis of the assessment scales to define the life areas corresponding to your client’s profile
  • Three tools to assess your client’s “happiness and well-being”: the fulfillment scale, the happiness scale, and the wheel of life
  • The organization of the third session

After assessing your client’s happiness and well-being and focusing on the important areas of their life, we will look at two new pillars that impact their well-being: meaning of life and accomplishment.

Upon completion of this module, you will be able to:

  • Define the concepts of values, beliefs, and meaning of life
  • Differentiate between performance goals and learning objectives
  • Target them based on each person’s personal beliefs
  • Understand the importance of setting goals and having plans
  • Establish a hierarchy of objectives
  • Set up the fourth session from start to finish

Module 5 addresses another of Martin Seligman’s five pillars of happiness: positive emotions. We will study the ten main positive emotions (joy, gratitude, serenity, curiosity, hope, pride, fun, inspiration, admiration, and love.)

In this module, you will discover:

  • The impact of positive emotions on the body and mind
  • The five activities that trigger positive emotions (helping, communicating, having fun, learning, and exercising)
  • Techniques to help your client transform negative thoughts into positive ones
  • Techniques to help your client assess what they really want
  • An example of how to proceed in session 5

If your client’s self-esteem and self-confidence are too fragile, their future projects, objectives, and actions may be negatively affected. It is, therefore, logical, at this stage of the coaching, to address these concepts.

In this module, you will learn:

  • The difference, as well as the connection, between self-esteem and self-confidence
  • The impact of self-esteem on quality of life
  • Tools to identify limiting beliefs
  • Strategies for improving self-esteem and confidence
  • Techniques to make failure less dramatic
  • Case studies and concrete examples
  • The organization of session 6

After identifying your client’s main character strengths, setting goals in line with their convictions, and boosting their confidence and self-esteem, it is the ideal time to work on optimism and motivation in the coaching program.

In this module, you will discover:

  • The definition of optimism
  • The value of surrounding yourself with optimistic people
  • The importance of not talking about your goals in the conditional tense
  • Techniques that influence and maintain motivation
  • Tips for breaking down your goals into simple, achievable actions
  • Strategies for reducing the impact of negative thoughts
  • Exercises to get rid of limiting beliefs and fear of failure
  • Tools to recognize one’s responsibility for happy events, a crucial step in positive psychology
  • Organization of the seventh session

In this module, you will discover how to help your client live in the present moment. They will learn to listen to their thoughts, analyze them, organize them, stop having them if necessary, and transform them through taking action or problem-solving.

This module will address:

  • Mindfulness Meditation
  • The cycle of thoughts and emotions
  • Three minutes of mindfulness breathing: something to adopt in everyday life
  • The concept of procrastination and how to deal with it
  • Tools to stop intrusive thoughts
  • Exercises to stop being overwhelmed by overthinking
  • A technique for experiencing the state of “flow”
  • Setting up session 8

At this point in the training, you have studied and worked on the main points of positive psychology. Thanks to all this knowledge, you will be able to help a client do important work on themself. It is now time to address another of the five essential pillars of well-being: relationships.

In this module, you will discover:

  • The definition of gratitude
  • The value of writing a gratitude journal or letter
  • Keys to good communication with others
  • Tools for applying gratitude in relationships
  • Techniques for managing conflicts and disagreements
  • Learning to really listen to others
  • Organization of the ninth session

This final module gives you the keys to becoming a positive psychology coach. You will get a lot of practical advice regarding this profession and on the different areas of coaching (life coaching, business coaching, and group coaching).

In this module, you will discover:

  • The essential evaluation tools for a coach
  • The role of the coach in positive psychology
  • Techniques to guide your client in their personal development
  • Information to start and develop your business
  • Exercises to help your client become aware of their progress

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, completely. Every course is 100% online and self-paced, so you study from home on your own schedule with no deadlines. You get instant access the moment you enrol, plus your course materials, our student community for support, and your accredited certificate on completion. It’s all yours to keep with lifetime access.

This is the question worth reading closely, because it’s the heart of what you’re paying for.

Every course is accredited by up to five recognised bodies, which depending on the course may include the IPHM, CPD, CMA, and NCCAP. In plain terms, these are respected professional and continuing-education accreditations within the coaching and complementary-wellness world. They confirm the course content meets a recognised standard, and they count toward your continuing professional development (CPD).

To be straight with you about what they are not: they are not a university degree or a government licence, because coaching and most wellness fields are not government-regulated professions. What they give you is credible, verifiable proof that you’ve trained to a standard clients and peers in this field recognise. The exact accreditations for your course are listed on that course’s page.

It’s real. When you pass, you earn a genuine accredited certificate you can verify, show to clients, add to your LinkedIn, and use to promote your practice.

The low price isn’t a catch. We keep courses affordable by teaching online at scale instead of charging the high fees of traditional in-person training. You’re getting the same accredited certification without the inflated price tag that usually comes with it

Most of our students use their certification to start or grow a coaching or wellness practice, add a new service to what they already offer, or move into work they find more meaningful. It gives you two things at once: the credibility to take on clients with confidence, and the knowledge to genuinely help them.

Whether you’re building something new or deepening work you already do, your certificate is proof you’ve trained to a recognised standard

No. Our courses are built for complete beginners and start with the fundamentals before building up to more advanced material. No degree, no prior experience, just an interest in the subject. If you already work in the field, you’ll still find plenty to deepen what you know.

 

That’s entirely up to you, because there are no deadlines. As a rough guide, most people spend around 3 to 4 hours per module, so a typical course works out to somewhere in the region of 30 hours in total. You can go faster or slower to fit your life, and your access never expires.

 

There’s a short quiz at the end of each module to help you check your understanding. These are optional but we recommend them, as they prepare you for the final exam.

At the end of the course there’s a multiple-choice final exam. Score 80% or higher to pass. If you don’t reach it the first time, you can retake it. As soon as you pass, you can print your certificate.

Your certificate is available to download and print the moment you pass. If you’d like a professionally printed copy posted to your door, you can add that option at checkout.

 

The moment your payment goes through, your course unlocks on the confirmation page so you can start right away. We also email your login details, so do check your inbox, and your spam folder just in case it lands there. If you ever can’t find your course, our support team will get you sorted quickly.

 

We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on every course. Enrol, explore the material, and if it isn’t right for you within the first 30 days, just contact our support team for a full refund, subject to a few standard exceptions. We’d rather you feel confident in your choice than stuck with something that isn’t for you.
