I was looking for an advanced program to support my PCC journey and came across Ignite Global, which had been highly recommended by fellow coaches. After doing plenty of research, I chose it—and I’m so glad I did! The Team and Group Coaching certification was incredibly rich in content and well-structured for busy professionals. The flexibility of live sessions combined with access to recordings meant I could engage deeply without disrupting my schedule. What truly stood out was the interactivity—this wasn’t just a passive course. We had real-time discussions, group coaching practice, and invaluable insights from Fernando, whose passion, warmth, and deep expertise shone through in every session. I walked away with so much—not just about team and group dynamics, but also ways to elevate my one-on-one coaching. Alongside this, I also joined the Mentor Coaching Program, which supports coaches at all levels—not just those going for PCC. Spread over six months, it was the perfect container to refine my coaching, receive expert feedback, and practice consistently. Fernando was incredibly generous with his time and insight. His one-on-one support, encouragement, and targeted feedback made a real difference. He really helped me stay on track, build confidence, and prepare well for the performance evaluation. Another huge plus: the access to materials and recordings through the course portal is brilliant. I still return to them regularly. Both programs created space not just for learning, but also for connection. I met a wonderful group of coaches and formed lasting friendships. If you're looking for world-class training, genuine support, and the flexibility to learn at your pace—this is it. I highly recommend Ignite Global and Fernando. I'm proud to say I’ve now earned my PCC—and I couldn’t have done it without them!

My experience with the CADP training has resulted in wonderful growth.
I have expanded my bandwidth as a coach. Lux’s naturally calming presence makes you feel instantly comfortable to participate. Her array of knowledge and skills allowed me to enhance my own coaching presence and impact. My input was always welcomed and listened to. I have learned so much from Lux during the CADP training and have been able to clarify and apply my passion for helping parents, children, and adolescents to develop and thrive in their relationships and lives.

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.

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!

The CADP program truly helped me realize that I have the potential to coach and make a difference. It equipped me with the tools to connect with people, actively listen, and empower clients to unlock their full potential. Acquiring such a powerful skill is truly transformative! This journey is ideal for someone who believes that children are capable of being their own leaders and change-makers and wants the skills to enable this to happen. My journey began when I realized that my corporate career wasn't fulfilling enough. I yearned to make a difference in people's lives and have a meaningful impact. Looking around, I noticed many families and children struggling with the changes that life throws at them. I discovered that I could make the most significant impact by coaching children/adolescents and their parents. Ignite Global exceeded all expectations and checked all the boxes. There was a good balance of theory and practical aspects, and it was ICF accredited, which is very important! Lux is the best trainer I could have asked for. We had an immediate connection, and I felt I could approach her with any questions or concerns I may have had. She consistently gave 110% in classes and made a conscious effort to include everyone's opinions and thoughts.

As a teacher, I had been searching for an alternative career path for a while. Then, one day on Facebook, I stumbled upon an advertisement for the Child/Adolescent Development and Parenting Coach course. That was my "aha" moment, the realization that my dream of finding plan B had come true, and my future looks bright! Under Lux's guidance, this course ignited a desire within me to seek more from life and make a greater impact on younger generations. Supporting children and adolescents in discovering their limits and passions has always been my goal. The course organized by Ignite Global opened my eyes to the importance of understanding not only my own childhood but also that of our children and ourselves as grown-ups. Lux, thank you for transferring your passion into my heart. I appreciate your role in helping me develop and grow as a passionate educator and coach!

A decade ago, I embraced motherhood for the first time, and it has since become my life's compass. Parenthood, to me, represents an opportunity to shape a better future and create the positive change we aspire to see—a form of sacred spiritual activism. When I discovered the ICF-certified course offered by Ignite Global, I was thrilled. Although I had been familiar with ICF for many years, this was the first time I encountered a program tailored to this specific niche. The prospect of taking my passion to the next level by working with parents and children excited me. Lux, our trainer, proved to be the most thoughtful, empathetic, and compassionate guide, making our sessions thoroughly enjoyable. This training program is suitable for anyone aspiring to use coaching techniques to make a positive difference in the lives of children, adolescents, or parents, contributing to a better future for everyone.

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 trainings done. You guys take things to another level of integrity that blew me away. The learnings were perfectly understandable and clear. Everything now days is all business (which is great) but you guys created a family, engagement, relationships and full follow through. I have learn 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 reccomend Ignite Global to anyone who is interested in starting off a coaching career in a warm and friendly but, equally professional environment.

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.

Certified Coach Practitioner Specialized in Child/Adolescent Development and Parenting Founder of Raised Reflectively I recently completed the CADP coaching education program and it was an incredible experience. The program offers a perfect balance of ICF-aligned coaching knowledge and practical tools that are immediately applicable in real coaching scenarios. What truly set this program apart was the warmth and competence of the course's founder and facilitator - Lux Hettiyadura. Her deep understanding of this coaching niche, combined with a compassionate and approachable style and genuine care for all participants, created a supportive environment where I felt comfortable learning and growing. She broke down complex concepts in a clear and accessible way, making the study material both engaging and actionable. This program has equipped me with the skills and confidence I need to succeed as a parental coach. If you’re looking to enter this field, I highly recommend it.

To those looking for a safe space to talk, for those looking for direction, for those looking for even an inch of self-discovery – I would absolutely recommend Lux! Even though I know Lux as a friend, during the session she wore a completely different hat, she was still friendly but she was more of a thorough professional. She kept guiding my thoughts as I spoke and it was very interesting for me to voice out a lot of things I felt but could not articulate before. She gave some really insightful thoughts and some practical exercises to work on. It was an absolutely useful session and I didn’t even realize how time went by

My dearest Lux, I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the positive impact you have had on my parenting and personal life. Since we started working together, I have made significant progress towards achieving harmony in my relationship with my child and have learned valuable skills that I will carry with me throughout my life. Your compassionate and non-judgmental approach made it easy for me to open up and explore my thoughts and feelings about my personal life in a safe and supportive environment. Your ability to listen actively and ask insightful questions helped me gain clarity and perspective enabling me to identify and address my issues at a deeper level that were holding me back in my relationship understanding. Your guidance and encouragement gave me the confidence to take mindful steps towards positive and meaningful changes in my life. Your unwavering belief in me and my personality motivated me to persevere even when the going got tough. I feel more relaxed and motivated now, I feel confident handling issues with my child and in any relationship. Overall, I am deeply grateful for your coaching and mentorship, and I would highly recommend you to anyone seeking a supportive, loving, and extremely knowledgeable coach. Thank you for all that you do.

Lux is a coach that not only genuinely cares about her clients but wants to impart all the knowledge she has acquired so that they too can attain excellence. I recently had the opportunity to attend a session with her on a personal level, which had a profound effect on me as she was able to go deep to resolve some issues that need to be dealt with. She is a breath of fresh air as her bubble personality is contagious, but her gentle nature, kindness, and love for others bring out the best in them and provide a safe space to express and explore their true potential and authentic selves. Her intuitive listening skills guide and provide the clarity we seek. I feel blessed to have met Lux and will definitely continue to work with her as she stands out from the crowd.

This was one of the best programs I participated in and was very transformative as well as nourishing and enriching at the same time, I not only learned but unlearned so much as we worked together with Lux. It has not just changed me as a mother but also has connected me to my higher self where I see and perceive things so differently. Thank you Lux for your wonderful support. You are a blessing to me!!

When my colleague recommended Ignite Global’s Group and Team Coaching program, I trusted his judgment—he had done thorough research to find the best training out there. At first, it was a somewhat spontaneous decision. But it turned out to be perfectly aligned with a long-held aspiration of mine. And it exceeded my expectations in every way. The training was engaging and energizing, after every session, I left feeling inspired and empowered. It strengthened my confidence, deepened my knowledge and enhanced my expertise. A special thank you goes to our mentor and teacher, Fernando. His depth, strength, and kindness formed the heart of this program. I learned so much from him—not only about group and team coaching but also about leadership, presence, and mastery. His dedication to coaching and his unwavering pursuit of excellence were truly inspiring. Another invaluable aspect of this training was its international community. Connecting, learning, and practicing with colleagues from around the world broadened my perspective and gave me new insights—not just into coaching, but also into myself. This experience didn’t just build my skills – it reconnected me with the deeper purpose behind my work.

I am happy to share that I am officially an ICF Certified Coach. What a journey ! I didn't expect this when I started a year ago, after a memorable call with Fernando Hettiyadura (whom I thank from the bottom of my heart). As soon as I hung up, I knew I wanted to collaborate with this sensitive and visionary coach and mentor. I was at that turning point in my life where I needed to take my expertise in coaching and therapy seriously. I knew I needed recognition from my peers to better support my clients towards inner well-being and emotional health. So I followed my guts and embarked on the path to ICF certification. After priceless encounters and learning, I made it. My next step ? The Trauma Informed Coach Certification. It’s another adventure that brings me great hope and joy for the future of the beautiful profession of coaching.
