Peter Guess, the business owner, created the Coaching The Coach Academy of Learning to offer affordable and accessible distance learning for training and certificating coaches. Peter utilised technology in distance learning for managers and leaders since the late 1980's, in Old Mutual, Cape Town, South Africa. At the time, he was a Management Trainer doing research and development for TBT (Technology Based Training). He continued to utilise distance learning while in Johannesburg, South Africa from 2002 to 2008, as Head of Training (Sasol Chemical Industries) and later as a Learning and Development specialist at Sasol Limited (head office). Peter graduated cum laude with a Bachelors degree in Psychology and Social Work (honours) in 1983. He began doing business coaching and performance coaching in 2004, while working in Human Resources in Sasol Limited (Head Office) in Johannesburg, South Africa. He supplemented his professional experience and degree with specialised studies in two Life Coaching programmes and self-study. One programme as a home study programme from the USA, which inspired him to use distance learning to reach more people globally, at a very affordable cost and learn at their own time and pace.
