I was very impressed with the Jay Shetty Life Coaching Certification program. The teachers were top notch! I was in a cohort with Viraj and his wisdom and experience made the whole process so exciting and invigorating. The topics we learned were really interesting and prompted many self audits...which I think was a great thing.
The curriculum was wide ranging and super informative. The pace of learning was comfortable, but I definitely felt like I was back at University!
Probably my favorite aspect of the school was that the students came from every corner of the world. To be able to learn and collaborate with people from different countries, cultures and experiences made the training so fulfilling. I would recommend the Jay Shetty Certification School to anyone!

Pete, "I definitely felt like I was back at University," that says a lot about the rigour of this programme. The fact that you named Viraj specifically, the self-audits, the global cohort, the wide-ranging curriculum, you experienced every layer of what this training was designed to offer. And your favourite part being the people from every corner of the world? That's the piece most graduates carry with them longest. Keep sharing that global perspective in your coaching.
With gratitude,

One of the best decisions I’ve ever…
One of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Going through this intense program not only helped me become a certified coach, it helped me confront past issues that controlled my life. Changed my perspective. My mindset. I am truly grateful for Jay Shetty and his team. If you’re looking for personal growth or are interested in becoming a life coach, I highly recommend Jay Shetty’s school.
Response from Jay Shetty Certification SchoolJun 2, 2026
Virla, "one of the best decisions I've ever made" - and then you told us exactly why. Confronting past issues, shifting your perspective, changing your mindset. That's not just becoming a certified coach. That's becoming a different version of yourself. The fact that you'd recommend this to anyone looking for personal growth OR coaching tells us you understand both sides of what this programme builds. Keep leading from that new perspective.
Cheering you on,

A heart centred, human centred approach to coaching
I was already a qualified coach, but what was so appealing to me with the Jay Shetty Certification School was the heart centred, human centred approach. This training aligned with my passion for wellbeing (mental health in particular) and DEI.
The mentors provided to us were fantastic, and all brought something different and interesting to the table.
The training was comprehensive and I thoroughly enjoyed the live webinars and coaching sessions, along with making new friends who are aligned from all around the globe.

Fi, coming in as an already qualified coach and choosing this programme specifically for its heart-centred, human-centred approach, that tells us you knew exactly what you were looking for. The fact that it aligned with your passion for wellbeing and DEI means you found something most training programmes don't offer. And making aligned friends from all around the globe while deepening your craft? That's the full experience. Keep bringing that heart to your work.
With gratitude,
Jay Shetty Certification School Team

A Great Decision
Doing my inner work was so important and the school opened up the safe space that I could trust.
The supervision session, modules, and training videos help me build skills and confidence.
Response from Jay Shetty Certification SchoolJun 2, 2026
Annette, "the school opened up the safe space that I could trust," that's everything. Inner work only happens when you feel safe enough to go there. The fact that the supervision sessions, modules, and training helped you build both skills AND confidence tells us you let the process do what it was designed to do. Keep trusting that foundation.
Proud of you,
Jay Shetty Certification School Team

Jay Shetty’s Name Got Me In. His Program Didn’t Get Me Far.
The mentors and coaching instruction inside this program are genuinely valuable I learned a lot, grew personally, and made some incredible connections along the way. Those three things alone earned my stars.
But here’s what nobody tells you before you sign up: the real work begins after the cohort ends and that’s exactly when the support disappears.
The transition from “student high” to building an actual business on your own is brutal. There’s no structured support after you pass your final exams, and that’s the moment when limiting beliefs hit hardest. It’s when you need your mentor the most, and they’re simply not there anymore.
Want to learn the business side how to actually find clients, market yourself, and generate income as a coach? That’ll cost you more money. It’s not included.
The result? So many genuinely gifted coaches coming out of this program are struggling. Not because they lack skill or heart, but because finding clients is the single biggest challenge in coaching and this program doesn’t adequately prepare you for it.
If you’re considering enrolling, go in with your eyes open: you’re investing in personal growth and coaching skills, not a roadmap to a sustainable business.
My hope is that JSCS improves post-cohort support, because the world needs more of these coaches to actually succeed.
And about that certificate. You graduate with an AC-accredited credential which sounds impressive, but the school is not ICF-accredited, the gold standard in professional coaching. In reality, the certificate carries the Jay Shetty name more than it carries weight in the wider coaching world. If clients, corporates, or further education institutions research your credentials, don’t expect it to open every door.
If I had to choose again I would go with A DIFFERENT school. Honestly, the biggest disappointment is Jay Shetty’s name being on this. I had faith in what he stood for but that reputation doesn’t translate into a credential that travels. If I could do it again, I’d choose a program recognised internationally, one where the certificate actually opens doors rather than just standing behind a personal brand. His influence brought me in, but it’s also what let me down. That means something. hopefully if you’ve already read it as far, that means that you are doing good research.

Kristin, thank you for taking the time to share this so thoughtfully. Your journey through this programme was a deeply engaged one, and the community valued your presence in it. You said it yourself, the mentors were genuinely valuable, you learned a lot, you grew personally, and you made incredible connections.
We understand the transition from student to building a practice on your own is a different challenge entirely. Building a coaching business is demanding, and results vary. Your honesty about that matters.
We wish you every success on your path.
With respect,
Jay Shetty Certification School Team

Jorge Luis’ Journey & Experiences Through the Jay Shetty Certification Program
My experience with the Jay Shetty Certification School has been very positive. The teachers, mentors, and overall energy of the program create a supportive and meaningful learning environment. I especially appreciated how thoughtful the structure of the curriculum is and how much intention has clearly gone into designing the student journey.
The program provides strong coaching foundations and practical tools that help students build confidence as coaches. Throughout the experience, I felt encouraged and guided, and I truly value the quality of the training and the commitment of the team supporting students along the way.
One suggestion that could make the experience even stronger would be to organize the unsupervised coaching materials more clearly in one central place on the platform. The resources are there and very helpful, but bringing them together in a single step-by-step pathway would make navigation easier, especially for students completing a fully online certification program for the first time.
Overall, I found the program inspiring, well structured, and professionally delivered. It is clear that the school genuinely cares about student growth and development, and I am grateful for the opportunity to be part of the experience.
Response from Jay Shetty Certification SchoolApr 17, 2026
Jorge, the thoughtfulness in this review mirrors the thoughtfulness you described in the program itself. You noticed the intention behind the curriculum design, the coaching foundations, the practical tools, the energy of the team. Most people experience those things without naming them so precisely. That tells us a lot about how you process the world, and your future clients will benefit from that depth. Your suggestion is exactly how the program keeps getting better. Keep building on everything you've started here.
With gratitude,

Incredible experience - highly recommend!
Incredible experience! I started this certification program in October 2023 & graduated from the program in June 2024. The teachers & trainings were excellent; the accountability & support were second to none; the community is engaged, inspiring, & supportive; the transformation you feel in yourself as an individual, as well as in your ability to coach others, is powerful & invigorating. The program as a whole is a big time, energy, & financial investment, no doubt, but it was also, in my opinion, well worth it! I considered several coaching certification programs prior to committing to this one & the JSCS definitely felt like the right fit for me, my ambitions, & what I was looking for in a coaching certification program & beyond. As a past graduate of the program & current certified coach community member, I can share that the school constantly strives to innovate, expand, & improve their online platforms, educational programs, & community offerings to both current students & program graduates, creating an amazing & strongly connected online community of aspiring & working coaches around the world!
Response from Jay Shetty Certification SchoolApr 17, 2026
Nicholas, the fact that you researched and compared several programs before choosing this one, and would still stand by that choice after graduating and staying in the community, says more than any review could. You didn't just show up. You chose deliberately, engaged fully, and you're still here. That's rare. The school keeps evolving because of people like you who hold it to a higher standard. The best is still ahead.
With gratitude,
The Jay Shetty Certification School Team

Self-Development Bonus
This was a great experience people the Mentors and Peer community made it easy to feel part of a bigger community I didn't realize I needed. The entire process was smooth.
The healing process you also get out of this certification course is priceless.
Response from Jay Shetty Certification SchoolApr 17, 2026
Vanessa, "a bigger community I didn't realize I needed" and then calling the healing priceless. Those two things together tell us you came in expecting one thing and found something deeper. That willingness to be surprised by your own growth is something your future clients will feel in you immediately. The people you serve will feel it.
Cheering you on,
Jay Shetty Certification School Team
