Our take
Based on the ratings of 1,534 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in July 2024. No course pays to be reviewed.
Patrick Howell's course is a short, self-paced mindfulness program: about four hours across 49 lectures and six sections. It is pitched at coaches, counselors, teachers and wellness professionals who want a certificate and handouts to reuse with clients, but the syllabus shows it is just as much a personal practice course. Roughly 106 minutes go to the 12 day mindful challenge exercises alone. Think of it as a starter toolkit, not a full coaching qualification.
Reviewers are warm about it. They call it clear, practical and easy to listen to, and individual reviewers single out the meditations and the exercises that fit into a normal day. Howell gets credit for a calm, sincere delivery. One reviewer says it prepares learners to begin teaching mindfulness, and another says the methods should translate well with clients. Complaints are rare: of 1,534 reviews, only 9 are one or two stars. The sample has almost no criticism, so the real gripes are mild.
At 4.7 stars from 1,534 reviews, it holds up well for its size. The last update was July 2024, so it is more than two years old, though mindfulness material ages slowly. Be realistic about the certificate. The course lists an accreditation provider number, so check that it counts with whatever body or employer matters. A four-hour course will not go deep on client work or business building. If you want a gentle, practical start with handouts, it fits. If you need a serious coaching credential, look elsewhere.
Pros
- Twenty lectures of daily exercises in the 12 day mindful challenge give a structure to practice
- Customizable handouts and templates that coaches can adapt for their own clients
- Reviewers describe Howell's delivery as calm, clear and easy to follow
- Short enough to finish in a couple of weeks, with a certificate at the end
Cons
- At about four hours, it is an introduction and does not go deep on coaching technique
- Last updated July 2024, so it is now over two years old
- The accreditation claim is the course's own pitch, so check it counts for your purpose
The course was very useful and prepares you well to begin teaching mindfulness. The delivery is engaging and there are template resources you can adapt for your own uses.
All Levels is fair: no prerequisites are listed, and reviewers say beginners and practicing coaches both get something from it.

Calm failed a sleep
By Bayan Abdulrahman Ayed on 6/25/2025
The Mindfulness Life course was a grounding and enriching experience. Patrick Howell guided the journey with wisdom, clarity, and compassion. His presence created a safe and calm space that made it easy to connect with the practices on a deeper level. This course reminded me of the power of presence and gave me tools I now carry into my daily life. I’m truly grateful for the insight and sincerity Patrick brought to each session. Bayan Abdulrahman

This was easily one of the best courses I’ve taken on Udemy. I loved how the instructor made it hands on. I felt involved in the conversation and course. Some of the other courses I’ve taken were basically just “talking heads” that I didn’t enjoy as much. This course challenged me and made me “do the work”. I really appreciated that.
