THE CEI ACADEMY SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMME

We are not here to sell you a dream. Nor the dream job. Nor a job that helps hundreds of individuals or may possibly save lives. We are here to offer you an educational development. A career option. An opportunity. The opportunity to study at our Academy on one of our new coach training courses.
Talent can be found everywhere. We are always looking for it here at the Academy and aim to nurture it to help it grow.
But what happens with opportunity? Opportunity, especially for free quality education, is hard to come across.

We want to give you this opportunity, especially if you have the talent to become a coach.

What is the Scholarship Programme?

Coaching Evolution Int'l Academy offers a Scholarship Programme aimed to expand access to coaching education to individuals from specific countries, namely those defined as developing countries by the United Nations. It also aims to offer educational opportunities to individuals who have fallen into financial distress or have never been able to get out of such a situation from any country in the world.

Our coach training programmes kick off on May 9, 2025 and we are committed to awarding more than $60,000 in scholarships for this cohort by training 30 promising individuals who wish to become professional coaches and by providing lifetime access to their training material and all future upgrades.

Why did we decide on this Scholarship Programme?

Hundreds of individuals every week ask themselves - and us - what new can they do to enhance their current career or enhance their career options. Others wonder if they can add a side job (please, let’s not use the word “hustle”) to a profession they already have, but allows for plenty of time to do something else. Some are mothers who want to make a career change that offers the possibility to spend time with their babies or kids. Others are young professionals who feel they can make a change through their hard work and this is certainly not by climbing the corporate ladder. For some, a suggestion came through friends or family that they should look into a flexible work arrangement that combines good vibes and a good income. We also have people who have lost their job or unable to perform the one they used to do – life is not all so rosy. They approach us, too.

But, apart from all the above people we have spoken to, and so many more, there is a group of individuals we do not want to leave out. People who love education and life-long learning, younger girls and older women who never had the opportunity to study what they wanted to.

We want to give the opportunity to those individuals. Those who live in developing countries or come from one, perhaps they are refugees with a dream, a vision. We want to give an equal opportunity to people all over the world to access our courses and study with us.

So we made a decision.

What is included in the Scholarship?

We are offering at least 30 scholarships for the first 2025 cohort (Cohort 1/25) to individuals from developing countries or individuals who have fallen into financial distress. We are giving them the opportunity to study our brand new Achiever Level Core Training that is rolled out into two courses:
1. Executive Coaching Skills that incorporates the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as defined by the United Nations in their 2030 Agenda with the core coaching competencies as described by the International Coach Federation and the European Mentoring and Coaching Council.
2. Elementary Coaching Skills that focuses on Life Navigation skills (you might them as "the way Sherlock Holmes thinks") and the Formula One drivers' mindset starting with Ayrton Senna.

These two courses are top quality coach training programmes at the Achiever Level that last a whole year plus a little more to complete all the assignments. They are rigorous, fun, meticulous and aligned with the UN guidelines on creating amazing communities, equality for all, education for everyone while leaving no one behind.

For all students who successfully complete the core training, we are offering even more value by giving them the Competence Assessment Module (total cost of $827 at the Achiever Level) as part of the Scholarship Programme. This is based on a reward system we have set into place for determined and committed students.

Who is offering the scholarship?

Our company, Coaching Evolution Int’l Ltd with legal office in London, 71-75 Shelton Street, WC2H9JQ, UK and Company Number 10197917, has been around since 2009 as a freelance business, and as UK based company since 2016.

The Academy has been running since 2011, and since 2013 it offered its own accredited course after it received the European Quality Award (EQA) by the European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC Global) at Practitioner Level. That is a Level 5 in the European Qualifications Framework and the equivalent of the first year of a Bachelor’s for the US. This course is being submitted for reverification. 

The founder of the company - and the Academy - and our core instructor, Pamela Caravas, has a Post Graduate Level Degree in Teaching with more than 30 years in the educational field of course design and teaching. She entered the coaching world as a trained coach in 2009. She set up her first teaching business at the age of 22 and has been teaching and coaching ever since.

Her educational and coaching adventures led her to a collaboration with the Orange Grove, and initiative of the Dutch Embassy in Greece, a research paper that was presented at the Institute of Coaching/ Harvard Medical School Conference in Boston in 2018, to the United Nations System Staff College for a project on negotiation skills, to training with former FBI agents in New York, and back to coaching on various projects for specific United Nations agencies and the UN Higher Commissioner for Refugees.

She is currently also coaching within a corporate environment while designing courses on negotiations, coaching, confidence, and resilience, among others.

Pamela was born in Brisbane, Australia to Greek parents and has been enjoying travelling for work around the globe and equally enjoying holidays and summers in Greece.

It is this global perspective and coaching individuals for the United Nations all over the world that gave Pamela the idea to set up this scholarship.
