What previous graduates have said about the programme:

“The ACP got me to let go of fear and step out of my ego; I would not be where I am in my coaching career or have the level of satisfaction I do in the job without it.”

“I felt it was a breath of fresh air having the opportunity to share and discuss our values and beliefs. I feel having this environment to be curious and bounce ideas off of each other in a safe space can only make me better at my job.”

“I’ve particularly valued being able to spend time with guided discussion about our individual values and motivations for coaching.”

“Thank you for creating meaningful experiences for me beyond the fencing venue and for encouraging me to reflect on the philosophy of fencing as I live and perceive it.”

These reflections highlight the transformative impact of the ACP, not just on coaching practice, but on confidence, connection and career direction.
