GBTHIS IS A TOTAL SCAM!!! THIS IS A TOTAL SCAM!!!! BEEN THERE DONE THAT WITH THEM.... YOU PAY $1495 FOR A 12 WK COURSE THEN THEY WANT $385 FOR LIABILITY INSURANCE, THEN THEY "ADVISE" TO TAKE AN 4 WK ADVANCED CLASS FOR ALMOST ANOTHER $400. AND AT THE END, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET YOUR PROFILE ON THEIR SITE, CAN'T GET INTO THEIR SCHEDULING SYSTEM, THEY REFUSE TO TALK TO YOU ON THE PHONE, (THEY TALK PLENTY WHEN TRYING TO ENROLL YOU, THEN YOU GET GHOSTED) THEY ONLY WANT TO COMMUNICATE THEN WITH EMAILS, WHICH THEY RARELY RETURN. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET MY MONEY REFUNDED ON THE INSURANCE AND ADVANCE CLASS THAT I DID NOT TAKE WHEN I REALIZED IT WAS A SCAM, BUT TO NO AVAIL. I DID NOT EVEN TAKE THE ADVANCED CLASS! PLEASE, DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. IF YOU WANT MORE INFO, email me:

GBScam Alert ⚠️ This is a scam. You've been warned. You will not get any communication after training. The training was actually good. However, the company is straight up fake. I called the corporate number and the number for the representative that interviewed me. I received no communication from phone or email attempts. I'm beyond disappointed. I hoped that this company would aid in fulfilling my purpose...helping others. WRONG! KEEP YOUR MONEY. DO YOUR RESEARCH.

GBNo-show for meeting I had a on-line meeting at 17:30 today with Eric. I waited a half an hour but he never showed. Very disappointed. I see I am not the only one to have this experience. I agree. Very unproffessional.

CACoachampions is fraudulent Coachampions is fraudulent, non-communicative and misleading. I paid for a Coachampions certification which I never received after asking a series of questions about certification nationally or internationally. I got radio silence. My credit card was double dipped. Once again I received no clarification. I tried to reach the principals of this company, that is a fellow named Vince and Rob without success. Eric the instructor plays deaf, dumb and blind to anything that Coachampions says and does and professes to be only a contractor. Their contact phone numbers etc., are seemly based out of New Jersey. According to Website called Scamadvisor Coachampions is a website within a website. So read the reviews. They have a 20% legitimacy ranking. Something I found out too late. Further scrutinization of the payment receipts from Coachampions through SSC shows they are produced in Tel Aviv Israel. This is a total scam. Clint J. BSc, RRT, MSc

GBTHEY DRAIN YOUR WALLET WITHOUT GETTING CLIENTS I've tried coachampions as both a client and a coach. Both experiences have been terrible. The most important: Once you complete their training, which you are required to pay for and complete prior to being listed, even if you're already a certified coach, they tell you that you'll be more likely to get clients and get paid $20 more per session if you take their "advanced training" which, again, costs several hundreds more. This "advanced training" is just practicing with other students and then the trainer gives feedback. You get 1 turn, and you can't interact in the chat, so that practice coaching session is your only opportunity to communicate with other students. As training, it is not worth the money. Since you won't get any actual paying clients with coachampions, it isn't worth the imaginary "raise" either. AFTER they have your money and have gotten your hopes up that you will get lots of clients from them, they tell you that you have to buy their "responsibility plan" for several hundreds of dollars in order to work on their platform, unless you already have your own liability insurance, which is quite pricey, especially if you don't have an established independent client base, in which case, you wouldn't even be seeking out a platform like this anyway. From the client side: I was presented the same 5 coach options over and over upon first signing up. They have no availability set in their calendars. After switching areas of coaching back and forth dozens of times, I finally got it to show a few more coaches, most of which also had no availability. There was no matching of types of coaches that was of any use for the area of coaching I picked, either. I finally booked a session, and made sure it was 2 days in advance so that the coach would have time to see I had booked it. But the zoom link asked for a passcode which was not given to me. I messaged the coach twice, once on the day I booked, and again at my session time, and got no response. There is no option to reschedule a session, only to cancel, and then go back through the arduous task of trying to find a coach that has availability listed again. You cannot read the entire profiles of coaches before (or even after) choosing one, as it cuts off after the third line. From the coach side: The calendar has very little functionality. Many times, it will clear my calendar while I am trying to set availability, and I have to start over from the beginning. There is an option to set recurring weekly availability, however you are unable to change a single day without cancelling all the others after it if you have another obligation one day. It does not have any options to connect to my Google account to block out availability automatically when I schedule other things, as most other platforms do. You can't set two sets of availability per day if you have an obligation in the middle of the day, so you can only give clients the option to schedule before or after it, but not both. Unless you keep your profile very short, it will likely get cut off and most of it left unable to be read by prospective clients. Additional issues: The recruiter I signed up to talk to stood me up twice when I tried to get information about joining. He told me that I could expect to do 5-10 discovery sessions per week once I signed up, if I listed plenty of available hours, and that I could expect to get 2 or 3 clients out of those each week until I built my client base. I got 1 in 2 weeks, who stood me up as well. He told me that I would receive internationally recognized credentialing from the training, and implied it was with ICF. I later found out it is with CPD, which isn't a coach credentialing organization at all. I was charged for a third payment when I signed up for a 2 installment payment plan, which took nearly 2 weeks to refund. Bottom line: The initial training may be worth it to someone who has no training at all. The advanced training is not worth the money. The requirement for the responsibility plan is not disclosed to you until you have already paid for and completed the training. Upon inspection of their plan pricing, they make almost no money from actual coaching sessions unless the coaches do NOT complete the advanced training prior to signing up with them. This just further proves they care only about making money from people paying for training they may not even need, and sometimes doesn't even provide them any actual benefit, along with their "responsibility plan" which does nothing since you'll never get an actual client, much less be at risk for one suing you or them. I would give 5 stars if they marketed simply as their initial coaching training without the platform for getting clients. These predatory and misleading business practices are shameful!!!
