Disturbing allegations and legal disputes: Inside 'Australia's #1 Life Coaching School' | SBS News

Between 2011 and September 2015, the primary regulator of training providers, the Australian Skills Quality Authority, received a total of 40 complaints about TCI. A spokesman told SBS the school “has been on ASQA's radar for some time”.

In the same period, 11 cases against the school were taken to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal, the most recent ending in March this year.

The claims raise questions about regulation in the vocational education sector, which has come under scrutiny in recent years amid increasing reports of shonky operators and bad financial practices.

Despite repeated attempts to contact Ms Pearson – who also goes by the name Teresa – requests for an on-the-record interview were declined. Later, a spokeswoman responded via email. She denied the students’ allegations and claimed an investigation conducted by the regulator proved they were baseless.

But SBS’s own investigation suggests serious questions remain unanswered.
