When you want to know how to succeed or whether this is right for you, the

best person to talk to now is me. It will be great to talk and you can only gain

I look forward to your call.

Planning a career change? Check out thehigh-flying jobs of the future - and the onesto steer clear of. By Sheila Prophet

Most of us dream about having a more glamorous career, although we don't goto the extremes of Leonardo DiCaprio in ‘Catch Me If You Can’. In the film, Leo plays FrankAbagnale Jr. who bluffs his way into high-profile jobs as an airline pilot and doctor.

But according to research by City & Guilds, the UK's leading provider of vocationalqualifications, more of us could be fulfilling our dreams for real as the job market of thefuture is set to change. Demand in more glamorous professions will increase, they say, whilevacancies in the more humdrum, traditional sectors will fall. So, what are the top five careersthey reckon will be crying out for high-fliers in the next five years?

Golf Professionals:The Tiger Woods Factor has made golf coolfor kids and more women are taking up thegame too. The increasing interest means amuch higher demand for one-on-one lessonswith a professional.

Airline Pilots:Rising incomes and the ability to affordmore holidays, as well as the growth oflow-cost airlines, means the number of jobsin air travel will keep soaring, with anincrease in the number of pilots, air crewand ground crew.

Plastic Surgeons:A growing celebrity culture and a desire toremain forever young, plus an increase inpeople's disposable income, means moreplastic surgeons will be needed.

Tax Advisors:OK, it sounds a bit dull but it could be alucrative career choice. The need fortax advice is growing for a number ofreasons - the tax burden in the UK is rising,the system is becoming more complex, thenumber of top-rate taxpayers is growing andnew tax-based incentives for entrepreneursand small firms are being introduced.

Computer Security Consultants:The increasing dependence of all businesseson IT means that in the future even thesmallest firms will need to ensure theirsystems are safe and secure. The glamourfactor may not be high, but the salarycould be.

‘WHAT'S HOT ... AND NOT’Published in The Mirror - April 15th 2004

“This training will actuallyenable me to earn a livingdoing what I love - I can'tthank you enough! Thetrainers were exceptionalpeople with life changingideas that are so simple toput into practice.

Case Histories

“Peter has a wonderfulway with people, menand woman alike.

He has definitely masteredthe art of coaching peopleand is a great inspirationto all.”

Janine Bruinenberg

Case History No.1 Jeff Hatton

Last year I was a Senior Manager in a company where I'd worked foreleven years, BMW on the drive and a good salary going into the bankevery month. Then came the news that the company was closing down,this was the third time I'd been made redundant in my working career.

I had six months to decide what to do. I knew what I wanted to dobut at 42 how could I retrain and actually make a living doing whatI really enjoyed.

There were two challenges toovercome if I was going to make thislife changing decision happen.Firstly, where could I get a coachingqualification? I was too old to go tothe PGA and I didn't have the timefor the three year Mars bar sellingprogramme. Secondly where could Ifind a niche in the market tomake a living?

As you are reading this, you'll soonknow the solution to the firstchallenge was easy! I booked onto aWGTF course at Beadlow Manor, inOctober 2004.

confidence can be as bad as lacking init! Still I was now a qualified coach,had many more tools in my box andmore importantly, I knew how toteach! I also took a club repair andcustom club building course in 2004,my toolbox was now full.

I launched my business, 'The IndoorGolf School' on 1st January 2005.I'd done a 4000-leaflet drop beforeChristmas so I was ready to go.From March to September, I did 375lessons… I now have regular clients,regular referrals, teach in two schools,and I'm building a reputation as a

The second took a little morethought, I needed to do somethingdifferent. Then came the idea ofusing computer simulators to teachand so the journey began.

Off I trotted to Beadlow Manorfull of confidence that I wouldbreeze the course, after all I'd spentten years as an amateur coach tomy son and had an eye for the golfswing. Reality set in quickly, althoughI did have an eye for a swing.

I scraped through the live coachingtests, a good lesson learnt, over

good coach and club builder. It's veryrewarding and immensely satisfyingand I've learnt that the competition isnot strong and very few are qualifiedclub fitters. Being able to talktechnically about equipment, tookmy coaching skills to another level.I would recommend all aspiringcoaches to do the same and learnthe art of club fitting.

I now walk a few paces out theback door to go to work and if youhave the drive and determinationto succeed, your dream can cometrue too!

Case History No.2 Ryan Parfitt

I don't know how ithappened, oneminute I was thinkingabout lifting theClaret Jug, after

winning the British Open and the next I am upto my eyeballs in grease, in a car repair shop.

I already knew I did not want to do a 3-yearcourse with the PGA as

1 I did not want to work in a shop2 I could not afford the change in earnings,

as working in the family business I hadbeen well looked after.

Then someone told me about the World GolfTeaching Federation and the qualification andtraining I could attain. They told me they haddone the course and were already successfuland that everything on the course was notonly unique but also based on simplicity.

I had enjoyed a long junior and amateur careeras a player and had been fortunate to learnfrom some very good and bad coaches. I feltmy technical knowledge was well grounded

I had been working in the family business as a workshopmanager for some time, when I realised I simply was not happyand had lost touch with the real love of my life, golf.

but my teaching and coaching skills requiredsome work.

So I went down to Pedham Place and metPeter Hudson, who has been my inspirationsince. What I learnt that week convinced meI should be coaching, I even felt I had aresponsibility to those having lessons, whowere receiving bad service and advice.

I simply spread the word by networking andsoon I had a position at Hanover Golf Club.This summer I worked on average between60-70 hours a week, at a top rate of £40. Iam spending the winter in my Villa in Turkey.

If you are at all serious about learning moreabout how to swing better, improve golfperformance and learning how to coachwell, you should call and enrol now, it wasthe best investment and decision I evermade. When you turn it into a career andspend the next 20 years coaching, then howgood a decision will it be. I wish you the verybest and look forward to seeing you in thenear future.

After hearing thatshe said there were

other organisations that offered qualificationsas a golf coach and if I attained certification,I could help her and start marketing myself onthe driving range.

I discovered various advertisements in Today'sGolfer and received lots of information.However the WGTF were not only far biggerthan the others, they were the only one tocontact me and I enjoyed a very informativechat while realising I was making the rightdecision to enrol, choosing the WGTF to gainmy qualification.

I had been working in the retail golf industry for some time andtaking regular lessons from my local coach, when one day whilechatting away (as we women do), I mentioned my love of thegame and how I would like to become a coach. She suggested Ijoin the PGA but I had worked in a shop for the last 6 years andhad no intention of spending another 3 years doing the same.

Case History No.3 Jen Wilkinson

The course was fantastic and far morerewarding than I could have possiblyexpected. I have now been working as a fulltime coach for 3 years and can honestly say ithas completely changed my life. I am happy,more fulfilled and driven to succeed at ever-higher levels.

I was lucky to be asked to become a golfcoach but I have since changed locationstwice and have found it easy to create newand better opportunities. I continue to enjoythe constant support of the Federation andI certainly feel secure belonging to a largeprofessional organization.
