What It Is

The Performance Solution is a UK-based international coach training and leadership development organization positioned around the idea that “soft skills deliver hard results.” Its services cover professional coach development programs, corporate leadership and organizational development, individual/group coaching, coach supervision, and the use of assessment tools. According to the website, its business extends beyond the UK to countries including Australia, Germany, Kenya, the Netherlands, Norway, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and the United States.

Core Programs and Certifications

Its main course pathway centers on professional coaching qualifications, including the Higher Professional Coaching Certificate Level 1 and Level 2. Level 1 is designed for those entering the coaching field or looking to strengthen their foundations. It includes nine days of intensive training covering ICF competencies, ethics, the GROW/SCORE models, Clean Language, Sandplay, Extended DISC, and more. Level 2, Executive Coaching Mastery, requires completion of Level 1 or another certified coaching program. It includes 10 days of training, as well as written and practical assessments and a 100-hour coaching log. The organization’s programs are connected with multiple frameworks and bodies, including ICF, the Association for Coaching, ILM, and ANLP, giving them relatively strong certification backing.

Pricing

Public pricing is relatively clear: Level 1 costs £2,995, and Level 2 also costs £2,995. Extended DISC and iWAM training are each priced at £1,063. Payment methods include bank transfer, cheque, and online payment gateway. Since pricing is in GBP, it represents a fairly significant investment for individual learners in China.

Pros and Cons

Its strengths lie in its comprehensive course pathway, covering everyone from beginners to advanced coaches, supervisors, and internal corporate coach development. The teaching emphasizes interaction, demonstrations, hands-on practice, peer observation, and ongoing feedback, while also placing strong importance on ethics and “safe practice.” Assessment tools such as Extended DISC and iWAM also enhance its value in corporate settings. On the downside, the main content does not fully disclose the online/offline delivery ratio, specific locations and schedules, refund policy, or details of student support. Most information is in English, and there is no clear indication of Chinese-language instruction or localized services.

Who It’s For

It is better suited to people seeking an international coaching certification pathway and those planning to work as professional coaches, internal corporate coaches, HR development professionals, leadership coaches, or coach supervisors. If you only want a low-cost introduction to communication skills or basic management concepts, it may feel too intensive and too expensive.

Access from China

Access from mainland China cannot be determined from the available text, so it is marked as unknown. Given the course language, time zones, payment methods, and offline locations, users in China should email the provider before registering to confirm the delivery format, whether remote participation is available, the certification pathway, and payment arrangements.
