We are the largest nutrition and health coaching school in the world, leading the industry for nearly 30 years. Our comprehensive Health Coach Training Program will teach you everything you need to know to become a successful Health Coach. Our program was designed specifically for adult learners - we give you a 6-month accelerated option or a 1-year option. We teach our students nutrition and nutrition science, wellness concepts, coaching methods and theories, and business-building and marketing skills.

The program can be accessed from a smartphone, tablet, or desktop so whether you're a parent, a working professional, or just super busy, you'll be able to fit this education into your life. The program consists of 40 modules, which are released weekly, and have both audio and visual lectures. You can expect to spend about 5-8 hours per week on your coursework, it really depends what you want to get out of the program. Just like with anything you're working on, you get out what you put in.

Your work is done completely online, but that doesn't stop our program from being an interactive experience. Students have the opportunity to connect with classmates during the program, as well as successful Health Coaches and IIN graduates during live coaching calls. The IIN staff is also available to help guide students throughout their time with IIN.

Integrative Nutrition is the longest running institution that offers training in health coaching. Founded in 1992, what started as a small macrobiotic cooking class in NYC has evolved into a global school that has trained 100,000 students and graduates in over 155 countries. These incredible students and graduates are fulfilling the school's mission of spreading the ripple effect of health and happiness, impacting millions of people around the world.

While we have a lot to be proud of, our role in creating the profession of health coaching comes with a deep sense of responsibility to protect the integrity of what a Health Coach certificate actually is, and what it stands for. For this reason, below outlines the critical elements that we feel set us apart from other health coaching schools:

• We created the field of health coaching: We've been around the longest, and we take pride in igniting the movement that has created other health coaching schools, as it demonstrates the need for, and the power of, Health Coaches and their incredible work.
• We're licensed by the New York State Department of Education: This means that our curriculum is regularly reviewed to ensure that our content is both up to date and accurate. Being held to these high standards is important to us, and helps ensure that we can provide a world-class education that you can apply wherever you're learning in the world.
• We're partnered with a variety of U.S. and international academic institutions to allow you to advance your education - and your career - with your IIN certificate: Our Health Coach Training Program is worth up to 40 credits towards a bachelor's, master's, or even a doctorate degree, at participating institutions. Our training is also worth up to 43 CEUs so that you can apply your IIN education towards propelling your existing career forward.
• You'll learn from over 85 experts in our dynamic, innovative curriculum: Our instructors are experts in their fields such as integrative health, nutrition, functional medicine, spirituality, alternative healing modalities, business and coaching. You can learn anywhere in the world, on any device: Our program is hosted on our online Learning Center, which gives you the flexibility to learn on your schedule in our 1-year or 6-month accelerated program options. You can even download program materials for offline use on our app.
• Our advocacy efforts empower you to effect real, sustainable change in the lives of millions: We advocate on behalf of the Health Coach industry by working with leaders and policy makers in government. This advocacy aims to promote the work and value of Health Coaches, which not only impacts the health coaching industry in the U.S., but also around the globe, as more countries catch on to the value that health coaching has on health outcomes. Most recently, the passing of CPT codes by the American Medical Association underscore this value, paving the way for health coaching services to potentially be covered by insurance!
