Start my certification · £77FAQ
Yes. On graduation you are admitted to the public Register of The Spectrum Council, the independent accreditation body for neurodivergent coaching. The credential is awarded by the Council, not by us - which is exactly what makes it carry weight.
Every course is £77, reduced from £392, with lifetime access. The Client Attraction System, live Q&A, and script library are included. Full refund within 30 days if you have not sat the final exam.
That is the point. The training covers the coaching craft and the business of holding clients well: positioning, ethics, your scope of practice, and how to display your Council credential so clients can verify you instantly.
Successful graduates appear on The Spectrum Council public register with a permanent number clients can verify in one click. Employment and local professional requirements vary, so check what applies to your situation.
ICF and university routes are different qualifications. Nurtured Coach is a focused, self-paced coaching certification with assessed practice and an independent Council credential clients can verify. It is not ICF, a university degree, or a clinical qualification.
