Authentic Education indeed lives up to its name. I have been studying for decades and this company by far provides the best valued education and an incredible level of support for students to cement their learning. I cannot recommend this company highly enough. Karen Summerfield
The free course was interesting and motivating however I was really disappointed with the hard sell of the paid courses ( the fast track special offer price of 12.5K AUD is really pricey for most people ). There are payment plans but most have to be fully paid off before you get access to the content. I expected paid course info but the way it was delivered left a bad taste in my mouth
Ben and the team at Authentic Education are so professional. Thank you for sharing your experience and the tools to allow me to be the best Coach I can be. I now don't need to look anywhere else for learning all there is to know about being a coach. I am so grateful for having found Authentic Education and I am looking forward to being able to do more courses.
Having worked with other, less supportive business models, I *know* that Authentic Education offers much, MUCH more to program participants. Their ethical, heart-centred, training and ongoing support process lends me the confidence that in diving in to work as a highly-effective results coach, I need have no concerns that I will be left out in the cold. They provide templates and materials for all facets of the business that I am setting up and I know I am connecting with 100s of other like-minded individuals, all working to improve the lives of others by living a values-driven life (clearly improving my own life in the process!).
Their ICF registered Accelerated Coaching Certificate program has set me up to kick massive goals right off the bat, and I can't wait to be a year down the track looking back at how well everything clicked into place to launch my business to the point of major success –right from the get go.
How do I know it will happen? Their results-coaching program has been so transformational for me (through working with highly effective results coach alumni, Kirsten Horner), that it can do nothing less than be transformational for everyone that is coached in it.
Ben and Cham Thank you for being such LEGENDS! I found you just in time.
More value than you'll get anywhere else.
These guys are brilliant in every sense of the world. Immediate response to queries, incredible guidance, the ongoing training is worth the cost alone. Let alone the courses itself. And they don't hold back, they just give and give and give.
I've done the coaching program, and the breakthroughs I've had for my clients are incredible. Just great stuff, and for someone who was scared of coaching people in the past, the coaching course learning was transformational for me.
Ben and Cham love what they do, and want everyone to be influenced by that passion and allow themselves to shine!
Having known them from before they established Authentic Education, I can wholeheartedly attest to their commitment to grow and evolve their content and business, and personally improve their skills and knowledge to provide the most cutting edge, world class experience for their clients. I cannot recommend them and their courses more highly.
Benjamin J Harvey and Cham Tang, founders of Authentic Education, certainly walk their talk, living their love, helping others do the same. Authentic Education provide a safe and effective, affordable learning experience, enabling sustainable and fulfilling business success for thousands and thousands of people. They teach and demonstrate their highly successful business structure, evolved toolkit of powerful techniques / processes, in a system which is simple and easy to customise. Authentic Education offer exceptional value for a world-class coaching and business training platform. Ben and Cham provide the opportunity for you to create the life you love, making a difference, earning a living with purpose and passion, alongside a growing community of other impact leaders and high value influencers.
Extraordinary valuable free life changing education
The free course “prosper from your passion” is such an inspiring and educative course.
Yes it is free but it contains so much value I believe I can transfer in my life routines and create a much more motivated and efficient life for myself.
It has been over two years now and I am still going enthusiastically about my new growing career
It was on the 26/08/2020 but I have to write a date within the year so I pick a date but the experience is still lasting 2 years after
Thanks for a fantastic seminar last week. So jam packed with value and information. I am seeing the difference in my business with what I have already implemented and keen for what's ahead. You guys absolutely rock! So much value, so much support and so generous in providing so much free content.
Enjoy the Value of Some of the World's Best Training
I started by getting emails from Benjamin J Harvey a couple of years ago, which I found really useful. I then attended a one-day free event and learnt so much, all free of charge, that I have since attended several Authentic Education courses. They are far and away the most genuine company I've ever come across in 50 years of learning and working.
If you want to:
* become an effective mindset/results coach
* improve your business organisation
* gain greater sales and marketing skills
* become a superior presenter
* or even write a book
then Authentic Education is the company to go to.
They give free education in half-day and one-day events, so one can test them out to see if you and they fit, without any cost.
Also, once you train in any course with them, the ongoing information and support they offer is outstanding. In over 50 years, I've only come across one other company that gives such outstanding support, and that is with Rick Collingwood and The Australian Academy of Hypnosis.
Authentic Education also set up graduate groups for ongoing brainstorming and support.
I cannot recommend Benjamin J Harvey and Cham Tang and their company, Authentic Education, highly enough.
I can genuinely... hand on heart ♥️ highly recommend Authentic Education (AE) ♥️. There is no comparing to any other coaching businesses IN THE WORLD!! It is simply so unique, that you will NOT GET (with other coaching businesses), what YOU WILL GET WITH AE! They are by far the most generous, affordable coaching company, who truly support you on your coaching journey. I have absorbed and learnt so much and continue to learn something new every day single day! They are a fantastic, professional, action taker business and have the most effective & supportive crew who are phenomenal!! Benjamin J Harvey along with Cham Tang are simply inspiring in every single way.! 🌈 So! LIVE YOUR LOVE ♥️ Join Authentic Education Today! ♥️
I've been into the personal development industry for at least 10yrs and started my online coaching business approx. 5yrs ago. Over the last decade, I've spent over 100K on my education. Authentic Education is by far the best value and legitimately an amazing company to learn through. If you want to be a certified coach or to be better at ANY aspect of your business or company, especially attracting soul aligned clients, wealth creation, presenting skills, providing life changing value to others and so much more Authentic Education, Benjamin J Harvey and Cham Tang are THE BEST I have ever come across and that's saying a lot. I will no longer be swept away by "bright shiny object syndrome" because I have found THE ONLY SOURCE I will need. Literally took action overnight based on Ben and Cham's advice and am already getting more traction, making money and genuinely helping beautiful human beings transform their lives in an even more powerful way. I started with AE through a whole-day seminar and it was so much value - my mind was blown but that's how they role, they give you awesome value so you know without a doubt their paid programs are going to be epic - I am so happy I've joined their inner tribe of heart-driven coaches and business owners, worth every second and cent you spend. 5 star in all ways, so grateful to have found them!!
The course give a summary how we can used our passion to make it into a career to help other who are not sure where to begin.
It gave plenty tips on how to embark on the journey. I really love it and attend 3 times.
This company does what it name says, it provides authentic education with a mountain load of value. Ben and Cham, and the whole Authentic education team are world class and are so focused on providing as much value as they can. Blessed to have learnt from them.
Recently I completed Authentic Education's Accelerated Coaching Course. Over six days the course covered both theory and experiential practice. As a certified Results Coach, I'm now confident in my ability to help people elevate their mindset and achieve great results in their lives.
I love the way the course manual outlines every conceivable angle, and it is followed up by a year of mentoring!
Ben Harvey has seventeen years of actual experience and his mentoring reflects the wisdom he's put together.
Highly recommend this organisation and this training.
Love how they speak to all learning styles, so no-one is left wondering
Before meeting the authentic team I was confused how to put all the steps together in the right order to run a successful business. During my time with authentic (since 2011) it has all become crystal clear and have managed to create not only 3 successful businesses of my own but also help other people get their head around their own mindset and get out of their own way in creating the results they desire in business and life. I especially love the way they speak to all our learning styles so each and every one of us get the message. Highly recommend the Authentic team.
The best educational course available to Australia and the world! The founders Ben and Cham are exceptional. Their knowledge, passion towards helping others is infectious!
Authentic Education provide the most value out of any company I've ever dealt with. They are the first (and only to date) company I have found who run free events that have about 15 minutes or less on marketing their product.
The rest of the event is purely dedicated to sharing valuable knowledge and techniques to help people ... whether you buy or not.
It is a refreshing change from the reverse model - where people are giving a very small amount of value and then hammer you with sales.
Their products, experience and collective knowledge are second to none. Absolutely no hesitation in recommending.
Fantasic training. Attended Present Like a Pro. From zero presenting to now leading my team with educational training and teaching them to duplicate the process.
