Frequently Asked Questions
If you can’t find the information you’re looking for on NATLIFECOACH, the training weekends, or the certification please contact connect@tonyriddle.com
Do I already need to be a coach to attend Level 1?
No, you don’t need to be a professional coach already. If you’re planning to use the certification professionally having some kind of teaching/coaching experience will be helpful but it’s not a prerequisite.
Is accommodation included?
You are welcome to stay in a shared 4 person bell tent free of charge, please let us know whether you’d like to take us up on this (bedding not included).
If you’d prefer not to stay on site, you’re welcome to book local accommodation seperately.
Is food included?
Meals are not included as part of the course fee. However if you’d like to add catering, you can select the catered option when booking for an additional £175 for all meals across the training (all dietary requirements are catered for, just please let us know on booking). You’re welcome to bring your own food with you, but we can’t guarantee kitchen access.
Does the training weekend mean certification?
No. You’ll be assessed across the weekend, and then awarded certification as appropriate. Certification is not guaranteed on attendance.
Will there be further L1 training weekends?
Yes! We have further L1 training weekends scheduled. See here for dates and details.
Will there be further Level trainings for NATLIFECOACH?
Yes! We have Level 2 trainings available and Master trainings to come.
What will NATLIFECOACH mean for me and my coaching business?
Level 1 certification means you will be able to hold your own workshops and events as a NATLIFECOACH certified instructor, and will be listed on the NATLIFECOACH platform as a certified coach.
Level 2 certification means you will in addition be able to hold NATLIFECOACH branded training weekends in your specialist field, they will be promoted on the NATLIFECOACH platform.
How many people will be on the training?
Maximum 20 people for each training.
What are the timings for the days?

Do I need to do any prep/pre reading ahead of the Level 1 training?
We will share the Level 1 manual with you ahead of the course, please make sure that you are familiar with the material and movements in it before arriving for the training. It would be helpful to have read Tony’s book, Be More Human before arriving. It would be good to have a basic understanding of anatomy of the moving body, check out Anatomy of the Moving Body
Can I attend the L2 training without having done the Level 1?
NATLIFECOACH Level 1 is a prerequisite for the Level 2 trainings. L2 is by invitation only.
