Instructors
Kain Ramsay, founder of Achology and a former HMR Engineer, has been leveraging his expertise in business, community leadership, and strategic planning since 1996. After retiring from the military in 2005, he turned his focus to exploring the practical applications of modern psychology. This journey led him to champion positive social change through the lens of social innovation and entrepreneurship.
Kain started teaching the applications of psychological principles in 2014. Before transitioning into education, he spent several years leading mentorship programs for ex-military veterans. During this time, I provided guidance and mentorship for individuals adjusting to their new civilian life, equipping them with effective psychological tools to navigate their new environments with greater wisdom.
He has led self-improvement workshops across Scotland and the UK, sharing strategies and insights to foster personal growth and productivity. Kain's extensive experience in mentorship, group training and keynote speaking has informed his teaching style, focusing on practical psychology and the insights that lead to personal growth.
Kain's work focuses on making timeless psychological wisdom accessible to everyone, helping people from all corners of the world to understand the principles, ideas, and insights that equip people to lead more productive lives and create a positive impact on society.
Kain’s teaching methods prioritize practicality and common sense, ensuring his students can apply what they learn to their daily lives. Beyond Udemy, his courses serve as the cornerstone of the Academy of Applied Psychology’s training curriculum. This program equips learners with the skills, wisdom, and awareness needed by those dedicated to developing professional expertise and deep competency in psychology, coaching, and self-improvement industries.
In the rare moments Kain takes for himself, he enjoys reading, but writing has always been his true passion. Since 2018, he's had the privilege of authoring two international bestsellers: 'Responsibility Rebellion: An Unconventional Approach to Personal Empowerment' and, 'The Ultimate Life Coaching Handbook: A Comprehensive Guide to the Methodology, Principles, and Practice of Life Coaching.
Kain is, above all, a family man, married to Karen and father to Skye Minah. A true Scotsman with a signature Scottish sense of humor, he is passionate about creating a wiser world for future generations. He knows this vision can be realised when people embark on a journey of self-discovery, grow in self-awareness, and committing to becoming contributors to society rather than mere consumers.
Founded in 2017, the Achology Academy (of Applied Psychology) was founded with a clear mission: to equip students with the wisdom, knowledge and skills needed to excel as practitioners in the fields of personal growth and development. Since our inception, we’ve been privileged to see 1000's of learners turn this vision into reality.
Achology is built on a timeless purpose—the very same foundation that inspired the creation of psychology over 120 years ago: to help individuals deepen their self-awareness, better understand their minds, and forge deeper, more meaningful connections with others.
Our philosophy is rooted in the age-old wisdom: "Give a man a fish, and he eats for a day; teach him to fish, he eats for a lifetime. Teach him to teach others to fish, and he begins to end world hunger." This idea drives our mission—to share timeless wisdom that equips people to enhance their own lives and also uplift those around them.
Our main mission at Achology is to make psychological wisdom and timeless insights accessible to all. For almost a century, these ideas—capable of profoundly impacting humanity—have been needlessly confined within the halls of academia, accessible to only a few.
We aim to break down these barriers and share this knowledge with the world, raising up a new generation of Wiser People, by equipping our private membership community of learners to fully understand themselves, and become valuably more impactful in the world.
Our courses span the topics of personal growth, mental wellness, and today’s most respected psychology-based disciplines (NLP, CBT, Mindfulness, Coaching and Counselling). We prepare our learners to become more effective versions of themselves, and for an effective career in professional helping.
Our goal is to bring psychology to life for you, helping you apply what you learn to real-world situations and all aspects of your everyday life. Through your self-directed learning and our thought-provoking insights, you’ll gain a deep understanding of your own psychology, explore what your purpose may be, and how to contribute to the world around you.
Your journey with Achology may begin on Udemy by joining one of our courses, but it doesn’t have to stop there.
Achology offers endless opportunities to master real-world skills, become a leader in your field, gain hundreds of hours of hands-on practice, and even achieve accreditation. You could also qualify for inclusion in our exclusive professional directory, taking your development to the next level.
