What Our Students Say
Fernando has been a Brilliant Trainer, Mentor and Coach. His training has been Super Organized, Structured, Time managed with the reading material, pre and post readings, recordings etc to be done. He creates great energy , active participation, fun into very enjoyable, informative sessions .The training being so interactive and engaging, never realised how 4 hrs went by at each class. Together with Lux and their very compassionate heart that they put into every participant, you feel special , involved and supported both for training itself and one's future scope and growth. I will definitely be going back to Ignite Global, to further my journey on the coaching path and empower myself and others. Thank You Fernando for the Great work you do.
I recently completed the Ignite Global PCMC online course with lead coach instructor Fernando and his very capable team of mentor coaches. In researching online coach training programs suitable for an ICF PCC accreditation, there were only a few that were highly rated, affordable, and flexible enough to meet my needs. Coach Fernando is a highly passionate, caring, and giving coach. He is extremely knowledgeable and presents even the driest topics (ex: ICF code of ethics) in a creative and engaging manner. I am very much looking forward to the follow-on Ignite Global mentor coaching sessions as I continue to pursue my PCC credential.
I had the privilege of joining the Ignite Global community through the Professional Coaching Mastery Certification for Groups and Teams. It is difficult to express with simple words how beneficial and life-changing that experience was. Deep content, thoroughness, structure, fun and so much more! Coach Fernando is an extraordinary human being and an amazing teacher, driven by a passion for people and his calling, with endless compassion and humility. I highly recommend training with Ignite Global to anyone wanting to start a career in coaching, or looking for their next certification/accreditation. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this mind-blowing journey!
I am so grateful for this amazing coaching training. I learned so much about myself and I discovered my passion for coaching. I truly enjoyed every single session with Fernando and the international participants. Fernando is such a warm-hearted and fun person and he shared so many interesting personal stories about his challenges on his coaching journey. I am so grateful I had the chance to get to know him. He became a great mentor for me. I can highly recommend this coaching training and I am so happy to be part of the ignite global family. Thank you so much Fernando. Keep up this great work
I need to thank Coach Fernando and Ignite Global for the most amazing journey I have experienced so far in all my training. You guys take things to another level of integrity that blew me away. The learnings were perfectly understandable and clear. Everything nowadays is all business (which is great) but you guys created a family, engagement, relationships and full follow through. I have learned a tremendous amount during my Team/Groups Coaching Coarse and highly recommend the programmes. Best Experience Ever! Thank you!
I attended the Professional Coaching Mastery Certification for Groups & Teams at Ignite Global and it has been one of the most fulfilling and rewarding experiences of my life thus far. Coach Fernando went over and beyond the call of duty to ensure that each member of the Cohort went away with a clear understanding of Group & Team coaching, equipped with relevant tools and also assisted in creating a clear working plan on starting off ones own Group & Team coaching Business. I strongly recommend Ignite Global to anyone who is interested in starting off a coaching career in a warm and friendly but, equally professional environment.
My Professional Development journey with Ignite Global was a very informative, exciting, interesting, educative, refreshing, and inspiring journey. It also provided a platform for networking. I always looked forward to attending all sessions.
Fernando possesses extensive knowledge about ICF credentialing requirements and various other aspects that have proven beneficial not only for meeting ICF coaching standards but also for my personal growth and development. Beyond his expertise, he is exceptionally nice and helpful. I eagerly anticipate continuing to work with him! My experience with Ignite Global has been characterized by efficient management and excellent organization, leveraging technology effectively, all at an affordable cost. I highly recommend Ignite Global! The process is remarkably organized, utilizes convenient technology, and is a pleasure to engage with.
Ignite supported me through several months of training, with detailed examples of how to excel as a group and team coach, which we then put into practice. I remember feeling overwhelmed at the start of the course, there was so much information and I found it hard to see how it would all come together, however, with the guidance and support from Fernando, everything started to make perfect sense, and the course unfolded in a way that we added to our learning in every session. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who is serious about becoming a professional group or team coach.
