"I recently completed an emotional intelligence training course, and it exceeded my expectations. The facilitator, Vikram Dhar, was incredibly knowledgeable and brought a depth of expertise that made the sessions engaging and meaningful. The content was well-structured, relevant, and highly applicable to a corporate environment. What stood out most were the real-time learning tools and practical exercises that allowed us to immediately apply the concepts in our day-to-day interactions. This training not only enhanced my self-awareness and communication skills but also equipped me with practical strategies to navigate workplace dynamics more effectively. I would highly recommend this programme to anyone looking to strengthen their emotional intelligence and foster more positive, productive professional relationships, especially with CST, as they are very well organised, the entire team is super supportive and offer other networks for ongoing learning."
"In Q4 2025, I had a great experience with Coach Skill Training, particularly through the NLP Training program by Vikram Dhar, which was truly transformative, well-supported by VP Menon and the team. Vikram’s program was very engaging, with real-life scenarios and their applications. Provided materials and tools that you can immediately apply in your personal and professional life, as well as reading materials and documents to practice and perfect yourself with in the long term. The continuity of learning and practicing is enhanced by adding you to the larger group of past-trained professionals, which has weekly and monthly Mastery sessions. I am happy to give a 5* rating as they do not just train and certify and let you go; they stay true to their Vision and Mission. Highly recommend CST. I participated in a second program, “Applied Cognitive Psychology & Behavioral Science Coach Program Led by Ms.Qurat Ul Ann and CST team, a great learning Journey of understanding thoughts, patterns, shifting patterns, core values, and growing to a more aware, grounded version of self and as a coach. This was brilliantly delivered by Qrat and supported by Tulika. In 2026, I have already registered for a few more programs, and yes, for your Training and Learning, CST is the best I can recommend."
"I had an amazing experience with Coach Skills Training and Master Coach Vikram! His NLP training is truly world-class — clear, practical, and transformational. I took the NLP Practitioner course earlier this year and found it so valuable that I came back for a refresher, and I’m also signing up for more programs with them such as EI and cognitive psychology! Vikram’s teaching style is engaging, insightful, and full of real-life applications. Every session leaves you with tools you can immediately apply in your personal and professional life. The environment is supportive, interactive, and genuinely uplifting. If you’re looking to grow, develop new perspectives, or strengthen your coaching skills, I highly recommend Coach Skills Training. This is one of the best investments I’ve made in myself!"
"Coach Skills Training was a cornerstone in my journey, not only toward earning my ICF ACC credential but also in my personal development. The program went beyond technical training, offering a holistic experience that fostered growth, self-awareness, and transformation. A special mention to my mentor, Vikram, whose guidance and expertise were instrumental in shaping my coaching abilities. The unwavering support of the incredible VP and his dedicated team made the journey even more enriching. Their commitment to every participant’s success is truly remarkable. What stands out about CST is the supportive community it has built, a group of like-minded coaches from around the world. The shared learning, encouragement, and diverse perspectives from this global network were invaluable and continue to inspire me. CST provided me with the tools, confidence, and network to thrive as a coach. If you’re looking to grow personally and professionally while achieving your ICF credentials, I cannot recommend CST enough."
"Being associated with Coach Skills Training, formerly known as UV Consultants has been a truly transformative experience. My journey with VP Menon and Vikram Dhar began almost 9 years ago when I attended their introductory NLP training. That marked the start of my exploration into human growth and since then, I have had the privilege of participating in numerous trainings with them, each enriching my personal and professional development. What makes a training special experience is the awareness that comes to the surface because of the trainer and the Institue, and that is certainly my experience with Coach Skills Training! Give yourself the opportunity to experience the transformative journey of training with Coach Skills Training!"
