03
Make your next career move
Direction, positioning and the conversations that get you the role, worked through one to one.
04
Be recognised for what you know
Sharpen how you present your experience, on LinkedIn and everywhere else it counts.

Productivity, mindset and sustainable performance at senior workload.
How Class26 works
Four steps from "I need help with this" to working with the right person.
01
Discover
Search by outcome or browse a category. Every expert is reviewed by hand before they appear.
02
Compare
Format, price, language, availability and reviews side by side, before you speak to anyone.
03
Book or buy
Book a session, join a course or download a product. Secure payment, instant confirmation.
04
Work together
Meet online, do the work, then leave a verified review to help the next person.
Less searching. More confidence in who you choose.
There is no shortage of people offering to help. What's missing is a way to tell, before you commit, which of them has actually done the thing you're facing. That's the only problem Class26 exists to solve.
✓ Selected, not signed up
A directory lists whoever registers. Class26 lists whoever passed a review of experience, results and client outcomes, so the shortlist is already filtered when you arrive.
✓ Compare before you commit
Expertise, format, price, reviews and availability in one view, so you know who fits, without a single intro call.
✓ Book with confidence
Bookings, session scheduling and payment handled by Class26 — so the first conversation is about your problem, not about invoices and calendars.
✓ Chosen for the problem, not the job title
Search by the decision you're facing and see who has made it before, rather than scanning résumés for seniority.
MEET THE FOUNDERS
Why we built Class26
We spent years working alongside people who were genuinely excellent at what they do — and watching the wrong people get found first. Visibility went to whoever posted most, advertised hardest or had the largest following. Real experience stayed invisible.
Class26 is our answer to that. We read every application ourselves and look at professional track record, real client outcomes, and whether someone can actually teach what they know. We turn down more people than we accept, and that is exactly the point.
The result is a short list you can trust, chosen on experience and proven impact, not on who markets themselves best.

FOR EXPERTS
For professionals whose work speaks louder than their marketing.
Class26 is a selected group of coaches, consultants and senior specialists. We handle the profile, the bookings and the payments, so your time goes into the work rather than into being found.01
A profile that reflects your standing
Your track record, credentials and client outcomes on one professional page - written for a serious buyer who is deciding between a handful of people, not scrolling a directory.
02
The practical side, handled
Calendar, bookings, scheduling and payments in one place. No invoices to chase, no separate tools stitched together.
03
Work the way you already work
1:1 sessions, longer programs, team workshops, courses or written resources — whichever format suits how you practise.
04
A group worth being listed beside
Every expert is reviewed by hand. Being accepted means something, which is precisely what makes the listing worth having.
“Together we strive for quality and genuine connection, and we share a common vision on entrepreneurship.”
Raquelle Barnhoorn
'' This is one of the reasons I joined Class26, a brand new online platform set up by Murat Gümüs and Ayşe Gümüş that vets coaches and mentors so you can pick yours from just a hand full of solid professionals that are the top performers in their industries. ''
Robin Green
'' In het huidige online landschap zie ik veel geschreeuw. Veel beloftes, snelle succesverhalen en vooral heel veel zichtbaarheid. Maar eerlijk? Vaak met weinig echt resultaat of echte verbinding erachter. Juist daarom spreekt Class26 mij aan. ''

What clients say after working with our experts
"I was stuck in a leadership role I'd outgrown. After six sessions with Robin, I had the clarity and confidence to make the move to VP. His framework for stakeholder management alone was worth the entire investment."

Questions before you book?
Every expert goes through a careful selection process. We look at professional experience, expertise, credibility, positioning and the real-world value someone creates for clients or organisations. Class26 is not an open marketplace. Not everyone is accepted, and that is intentional. We keep the standard high so users can choose with more confidence
Class26 focuses on professional and personal development. This includes mindset & self-leadership, productivity & performance, AI & Human skills, Entrepreneurship & Business growth, Strategic thinking & Decision making, Leadership and other areas where practical expertise matters.
Video courses remain accessible after purchase, unless stated otherwise by the expert. Digital products have a lifetime access.
Refund policies may vary by expert, program or service. Each offer includes its own terms, which users should review before purchasing. If an issue occurs, Class26 will assess the situation and help work toward a fair resolution where possible.
Individual coaching sessions take place online through video calls. The format, availability and specific details are clearly shown on the expert’s profile or program page before booking.
No. Class26 is curated by design. We only work with experts who bring real experience, strong professional positioning and a clear understanding of the impact they create. The goal is not to build the largest platform. It is to build a trusted one.
