What Will You Learn?

Stoicism is based on ideas that help people to live their best possible lives. It’s a philosophy that promotes positive emotions and helping individuals embrace the virtues of their character. It does this by highlighting the importance of simplicity so that people can find peace and harmony within themselves and the world around them and focus on what truly matters rather than getting caught up in negative emotions and behaviours.

Living in the world today is not always so easy. There are mounting pressures that have developed from society’s obsession with work, money and technology. We judge ourselves against what everybody else appears to do and have.

If you want to step out of this flow of wants and into real happiness, then the Introduction to Stoicism Diploma Course may be just what you’re looking for. Containing Stoic theories and practical exercises and strategies, you can implement changes to your life almost immediately.

The CoE Learning Experience

What's not to love about learning with the CoE

The course modules are in-depth & easy to read/understand. Prior to carrying out the assessment you are able to consolidate your learning by completing the test your knowledge & bullet pointing the learning objectives. Further to this, once you have completed each assessment you receive feedback, and you receive feedback once you complete the course.

Any issues you may encounter, the team at COE are on hand and respond quickly & efficiently - double bonus, you have lifetime access to all the courses you complete, great to revisit & brush up on your knowledge & they have online support through their Facebook group.

Excellent credited courses for everyone!

Desc: I have done over 15 courses with CoE already and I can only recommend them. Friendly customer support, great topics, very alternative and unique courses you'll hardly find anywhere else. Also a huge selection of different interests, there is something for everyone. Great discount codes running at all times! What started as a way to cope with COVID has become a true passion for me. Thank you CoE!
