Life Coaching Testimonial: "Enrolling into the Life Coaching course at the New Zealand Institute of Business Studies was one of the first steps I took in changing my life. I'm glad I did it, and I'm thinking about enrolling into another course. A tip for other Life Coaching students - read the two set texts! The staff are lovely and so helpful, and the tutorials are really interesting. I encourage students to reach out to other students in their intake and help one another, it's more fun that way. I've been in touch with two previous students of the Life Coaching course to coach me and it was a great experience. I appreciated the institute being so flexible and helpful - would recommend!"
