Why you're really here
You're successful on paper. And quietly, something is off.
You're the friend people text at 11pm. The colleague HR sends people to when something is wrong. The one who reads, journals, listens, watches — and helps everybody else.
And underneath all of it: the career you trained for at twenty-two doesn't fit who you've become at forty-two.
You've thought about coaching. For months. Maybe years. You've opened the Animas page. The Barefoot page. The CTI page. You've closed every single one because the same two thoughts stop you: which course can I actually trust, and am I really good enough to charge real people real money?
The Life Class was built to answer both — in eight weeks, with a 20-year coach in the room with you. Not a junior. Not a TA. Not a chatbot.
Meet Jacqueline
The coach's coach — for two decades.
Jacqueline Hurst has spent 20+ years on the front line of personal development, working with 9,000+ private clients across the world — from boardrooms to bedrooms, from breakdowns to breakthroughs.
She founded The Life Class in 2014 because she watched the coaching industry fill with poorly-trained coaches charging premium fees, getting poor results, and leaving the industry within 18 months. She built the school she wished existed: one that produces coaches who can actually coach.
"I'd rather train three coaches I'd trust with my own family than thirty I wouldn't. That's why mentor groups are capped at three. That's why I'm in every call. That's the whole point."

The Life Class Method™
One proven framework.
One proven framework.
Refined across 9,000 clients.
The Life Class Method™ is Jacqueline's proprietary 8-week transformational coaching framework — distilled from twenty years of private practice into a focused, mentor-led curriculum. Six pillars. One methodology. Graduates who can coach from day one.
I.
Mindset architecture
How beliefs, identity and thinking patterns actually drive behaviour — and how to interrupt them in real time, in real sessions.
II.
The coaching conversation
The structure of a session that creates change. Openings, contracts, questions, completions. The repeatable shape of a session that works.
III.
Tools that move people
The exact toolkit Jacqueline uses in private practice — when to deploy each one, how to know it's working, what to do when it isn't.
IV.
Live practice hours
You coach real practice clients from week one. Direct feedback from Jacqueline on every session. Built into the curriculum — not optional, not extra.
V.
Building the practice
How to position, package, price and sell coaching without sounding like every other Instagram coach. Practical, ethical, sustainable.
VI.
Certified, ready to charge
You finish with a CPD-accredited certification, a working coaching practice plan, and the confidence to take your first paying client immediately.

The 8-week journey
Eight weeks. Six pillars. One coach in the room with you.
WEEK 01
Foundations & your first practice session
The fundamentals of coaching: what it is, what it isn't, and the mindset shift that separates a coach from a friend with advice. You'll run your first practice coaching conversation by the end of the week.
WEEK 02
The architecture of belief
How beliefs and identity actually form, why they stick, and the practical tools to surface and interrupt them inside a session — without sounding like a self-help book.
WEEK 03
The coaching conversation, properly
Structure, contracting, opening, questioning, completing. The repeatable shape of a session that creates change. Live practice with feedback from Jacqueline.
WEEK 04
Tools that actually work
The toolkit Jacqueline has refined across 9,000+ clients. When to use what. How to spot what a client actually needs versus what they're asking for.
WEEK 05
Handling what comes up
Tears, anger, resistance, breakthroughs, breakdowns. The advanced session work most courses never teach. You coach. Jacqueline coaches you on coaching.
WEEK 06
Niching & the offer
Who you'll coach, what you'll call it, how you'll price it. The positioning work that separates a coach with clients from one with a certificate.
WEEK 07
Building the practice
Booking systems, contracts, payments, follow-up. The practical infrastructure of a coaching business — without the Instagram-guru theatre.
WEEK 08
Certification & your first paid client
Final assessed coaching session. CPD-accredited certification awarded. A clear, written plan for your first paying client — and the confidence to take them.
From graduates
The proof is the practice they're running today.
Jacqueline didn't just teach me to coach — she rewired how I think. Five years on, I run an award-winning practice and credit every cent of it to those eight weeks.
I'd looked at the year-long accredited courses and felt sick about the commitment. Eight focused weeks with Jacqueline directly was the foundation of my entire coaching practice.
I left corporate three months after graduating. The mentor group of three meant I was actually seen — actually coached on my own coaching. I cannot recommend it enough.
I walked in thinking I wasn't good enough. I walked out really confident to help those around me — and properly able to charge for it.
I'd done two other personal-development programmes. Neither came close. The Life Class Method™ is what every coach training should be.
Eight weeks. Three of us in the group. Jacqueline in every call. That's it. That's the magic. There's no faking that level of access.

Honest answers
The questions every serious applicant asks first.
Coaching is an unregulated industry — ICF and AC are independent voluntary bodies, not regulatory authorities. We deliberately chose to build The Life Class as an independent school using a proven method, with CPD accreditation, rather than join an accreditation system that rewards process over capability. Your clients won't check for an ICF badge. They'll check whether you can actually coach them. That's what we train.
Compression is the feature. Nine-month courses are long because the accreditation system requires them to be — not because they make you a better coach. You'll run your first practice session in week one. By week four you'll have coached real practice clients with real outcomes. By week eight you'll be certified, with the framework, the practice hours and the confidence to charge for your first paid session.
This is the most common thing applicants tell us — and it's exactly what the course is built to fix. Live practice partners, weekly direct feedback from Jacqueline, and mentor groups capped at three students means you cannot hide and you cannot be ignored. You'll know whether you can coach long before week eight. Almost everyone surprises themselves.
The vast majority of our graduates were in full-time roles or running households while training. Most of the curriculum is self-paced inside the school; live mentor calls are scheduled at times that work around real lives. Roxy will walk you through the time commitment honestly on your fit call.
If you complete all eight weeks and don't feel ready, Jacqueline personally extends your access until you are. We don't offer outcome-based money-back guarantees — outcomes require your participation, and nobody can guarantee something they don't fully control. What we do guarantee is mentorship, framework, practice and access. Until you're ready.
A real conversation — no hard sell. Roxy (Jacqueline's PA) will go through your background, your goals and the practicalities of the next intake, and answer anything you'd like to know honestly. If we don't think it's the right fit, we'll tell you. We'd rather have three serious students than thirty unsure ones.
The next intake
Twelve mentor seats. Four mentor groups. One conversation between you and the next eight weeks.
This is a 15-minute conversation with Roxy, Jacqueline's PA — not a sales pitch. If we're not the right fit, we'll tell you. If we are, we'll save you a seat in the next intake.
Pick a window that genuinely works. Bring honest questions. Leave with a clear yes or no.
