Here is the scoop for new students researching companies and you don’t know which one to choose!!

****Every training program approved by the NBHWC must provide a 75 hour course.  Some institutions might offer more hours however the regulation for the board is 75 hours.

****Every training program from every school has the exact same core competency skills from the NBHWC they must teach.  The competency skills is a very extensive list to look at all at once…. this is why we provide a way that is digestible. How each school teaches these skills is up to the school.

****40 of those 75 hour must be delivered live online or in-person by an approved faculty member and 35 hours can be studied at your own pace.

****Some courses offer slower delivery programs that take 6 months to complete. Some are faster.   If you are looking for a faster pace then you are in the right place on this page as we specialize in an immersive training getting students up and coaching quickly with lots of practice!

****Intuitive Health and Wellness Coaching Academy is an immersive paced program because we believe that the consistent learning in a shorter time helps the brain’s neuroplasticity change to get you identifying as a health coach as soon as possible.  Yes, and learning about neuroplasticity is one of the core competencies so as you are learning about it you are experiencing it in real time!

Let’s skip the imposter syndrome and start coaching.
