Content

Our Content

Centre of Excellence provides online courses and content in personal and professional development, coaching, therapy-based techniques, and related fields for educational and continuing professional development (CPD) purposes. While we are committed to delivering high-quality learning experiences, all users acknowledge that our courses are not a substitute for formal qualifications where required, or regulated licensure in your specific country.

Many of our therapeutic based courses are designed to complement existing qualifications, and we encourage learners to use the knowledge gained to enhance their current practice. Our courses do not confer the right to diagnose conditions, or treat individuals without appropriate existing qualifications in these areas; licensing, or registration applicable in your country or region.

While our content is created with care, Centre of Excellence does not accept liability for any adverse outcomes—physical, emotional, mental, or otherwise—that may result from the misuse, misinterpretation, or inappropriate application of our course material. It is the learner's responsibility to exercise good judgment and seek additional hands-on training or professional supervision as needed.

We strongly advise that for therapy based courses:

  • You use the knowledge gained as an adjunct to accredited qualifications or practical experience.

  • You do not work with vulnerable individuals, clients, or animals using these methods unless you are legally permitted to via your country's legalities and have previous experience in the subject area, and are adequately trained to do so.

  • You seek medical, psychological, or professional advice from a qualified practitioner where appropriate, especially when supporting clients experiencing complex or high-risk issues.

Centre of Excellence reserves the right to cancel, interrupt, reschedule, or modify any course content at any time. We also reserve the right to amend course assessments, certification requirements, or content structure without prior notice.

By enrolling in our courses, you acknowledge that you understand and accept these conditions and agree to use the knowledge gained ethically, responsibly, and within the scope of your training and qualifications.
