One of the QSCA's strongest points is its Facebook group, where students get to communicate, share ideas, and support one another. However, I found that the group's social atmosphere, similar to that of the teachers and administration, has an "Everything is so wonderful here!!!" attitude that pushes so hard to be positive, that it discourages the expression of negative sentiments, such as complaints or critical assessments of the course's philosophy, and while this has its merits, it creates a forced atmosphere of positive "vibes" that silence the difficult questions about the course and its philosophy that some students, like me, would have liked to discuss. (This "feel good" attitude seems to be a direct result of the course philosophy, which is based on the teachings of Abraham-Hicks, who teaches that "There is nothing more important right now than that you *feel good.*")
My advice:
In considering a life coaching course, you need to consider if you would thrive better in an atmosphere that does not try to get you into "feel good" mode, but that allows for your complete truth, both positive and negative, to be expressed in a therapeutic way. If this is important to you, then you might consider a course similar to New Ventures West Coaching (
http://www.newventureswest.com/), that, as far as I can tell (from having spoken with a friend who attended it and from its website), encourages the whole of the person to be brought forth in their personal growth.
