I am thoroughly enjoying the course, particularly due to the clear explanations provided for complex concepts, such as the Ikigai model. The instructional design of each module is excellent; the lectures are effectively scaffolded and seamlessly integrated with practical exercises. This structured approach reflects high-quality teaching.

By Sumaira Bibi on 6/6/2026

My diploma in Applied Psychology gave me more than just a degree — it gave me a new way of thinking. A big part of that credit goes to my teacher. Their teaching style was clear, engaging, and practical. They never just read from slides. They connected theory to real life, which made complex concepts like cognitive behavior, human motivation, and personality development actually stick. What stood out most was their patience. No question was too small. They created a classroom environment where curiosity was encouraged, not judged. They pushed us to think critically, not just memorize. That skill alone has stayed with me beyond the classroom. If you get the chance to learn from this teacher — take it. They don't just teach psychology. They make you live it.

Hi Kain, I would like to express my appreciation for the three courses I have completed: Beginning to Advanced, DIMAP, and Military Transition. I found each of them to be highly satisfactory and valuable, and I am grateful for the opportunity to have undertaken them. I would like to make a request regarding the Military Transition course. It would be highly beneficial for me if this course could be formally recognised and accompanied by a certificate upon completion. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your response. Many thanks Amy

I really enjoy this instructor he is easy to follow, speaks clearly and in a manner that he gives you time to understand what he has just spoken about. I have done a few of his courses before with his wife? Both excellent. I am studying this as I am going yo be a secretary for my physiatrist friend and want to he able to understand the incoming patients

By Kane Hassan on 3/10/2026

This is a POWERFUL course. Took me years to get into this, because it hit so hard so fast I wasn’t ready, and when I was, I had inspires that took decades to unlock, in 1-2 lessons. I see why I got the course, thank you sir, you will be hearing more thanks from me, for laying out these building blocks so well.

By Kylei Reoun on 2/27/2026

The course will make you face yourself, thoughts, behaviors, beliefs - all of it. It's challenging and provocative - in the best ways. If you don't leave with something new, then I truly don't believe you tried applying yourself.

By Ewanmi Shylla on 12/11/2025

I thought it's about psychology and military. But surprisingly, it is all about life !! Great video and a highly recommended to everyone who is serious about self-upbringing and self improvement.

By Rhakiya Aylestock on 12/2/2025

This course is worth the price of admission! Kain Ramsey delivers the concepts and principles of ‘Modern Applied Psychology’ masterfully! His teachings challenge preconceived ideas, beliefs and assumptions in a way that provoke one to grow deeper in knowledge and understanding without bias. I move forward from this course with practical MAP tools and resources that will help me become a more effective mentor and Life Guide.

By William Black on 11/26/2025

It's peculiar how he uses his "psychological theories" to strawman any one who disagrees with him in a weak-willed backhanded way, where (ironically) he never has to accept responsibility for his bias narrating. He hides behind the wall of "you just aren't open minded" while peddling uninformed rhetoric without any critical thought.

By Daniel Garcia on 11/26/2025

A Concise, Comprehensive Course on Psychology and how to practically apply it in everyday life. Highly Recommended for Coaches, Therapists or anyone interested in Personal Growth and Development!
