FAQs
Who is this for?
Youth coaches, mentors, and professionals who want recognition, training, and ongoing support.
Do I need previous experience?
Some experience with young people is highly recommended. Our modules are designed to strengthen and extend your practice.
When does the training take place?
All sessions are online, and they take place as follows: on the following dates: 16th December, 7th January, 21st January and 4th February. After completing all four, you’ll unlock access to your licence and resources.
What’s included in the cost?
Training modules, official licence, use of the Yes Futures brand, exclusive resources, and year-round community support.
Our four-module coaching training. This is the heart of the licence. It covers coaching young people (the role of a trusted adult, psychological safety, ethics and boundaries), the Yes Futures model and how to adapt it for different ages and needs, engagement and motivation (including working with anxiety and low self-belief), and the issues shaping young people’s lives today, from mental health and social media to identity and AI. Coaches from our first cohort rated it very highly.
​
Business development workshops, including Building your practice, which focuses on finding and working with parents.
A peer community of coaches working with young people, running year-round, so you can share practice and problem-solve together.

​
Visibility through Yes Futures. We will feature our licensees on our social media, and when parents contact us looking for a coach, we refer them to our licensees.
Why is this important?
This matters because coaching is called upon increasingly as a solution and because youth coaching deserves a clear, recognised standard. It needs one that gives young people the very best support and gives partners and funders confidence in the sector.
How much is it?
The cost for an annual licence is £399
How do I get it? Is it open to anyone?
Our information webinars will take place on 17th November 2026 and 23rd November 2026. All licensees are expected to demonstrate some experience or interest in coaching young people.
