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. The one who reads, journals, listens, and helps everybody else. And underneath 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, and closed every one, stopped by the same two thoughts: 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.

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 worldwide, from boardrooms to bedrooms, from breakdowns to breakthroughs. She founded The Life Class in 2014 because she watched the industry fill with poorly-trained coaches charging premium fees and leaving 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."

The Life Class Method™

One proven framework. Refined across 9,000 clients.

Jacqueline's proprietary 8-week framework, distilled from twenty years of private practice into a focused, mentor-led curriculum. Six pillars. Graduates who can coach from day one.

I.

Mindset architecture

How beliefs and identity drive behaviour, and how to interrupt them in real sessions.

II.

The coaching conversation

The repeatable shape of a session that creates change: openings, contracts, questions, completions.

III.

Tools that move people

The exact toolkit Jacqueline uses, when to deploy each one and how to know it's working.

IV.

Live practice hours

You coach real practice clients from week one, with direct feedback on every session.

V.

Building the practice

How to position, package, price and sell coaching without sounding like every Instagram coach.

VI.

Certified, ready to charge

You finish CPD-accredited, with a practice plan and the confidence to take your first paying client.

From graduates

The proof is the practice they run 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."
Valerie · Award-winning coach
"I'd looked at the year-long courses and felt sick about the commitment. Eight focused weeks with Jacqueline directly was the foundation of my entire practice."
Pieter · Independent coach
"The mentor group of three meant I was actually seen, actually coached on my own coaching. I left corporate three months after graduating."
Lauren · Career-change graduate

Honest answers

The questions every serious applicant asks first.

Eight weeks feels short. Is that really enough?

Compression is the feature. You'll run your first practice session in week one, coach real practice clients by week four, and finish certified with the framework, practice hours and confidence to charge for your first session.

I'm worried I'm not actually good enough to coach.

The most common thing applicants say, and exactly what the course fixes. Live practice, weekly feedback from Jacqueline, and groups capped at three mean you cannot hide and cannot be ignored. Almost everyone surprises themselves.

I work full-time / have kids. Can I fit this in?

Most graduates trained while in full-time roles or running households. Much of the curriculum is self-paced; live calls are scheduled around real lives. Roxy will walk you through the time commitment honestly on your call.

What happens on the 15-minute fit call?

A real conversation, no hard sell. Roxy goes through your background, goals and the practicalities, and answers anything honestly. If it's not the right fit, she'll tell you.

The next intake

Twelve mentor seats. One conversation between you and the next eight weeks.

Bring honest questions. Leave with a clear yes or no. We'd rather have three serious students than thirty unsure ones.
