WHAT OUR STUDENTS HAVE TO SAY

Hear it from them, not us!

Frequently Asked Questions:

Do I need any prior experience to become a Certified Health Coach? 

No, you do not need any prior experience or training to become a certified health coach with The Certified Transformational Nutrition Coach (CTNC) program.

Whether you are brand new to health, or you have been through your own health experience, we will equip you with the knowledge and skills to facilitate your own transformation as well as transform the lives of others. 










What support am I offered in the program? 

We pride ourselves on offering a high-level of support to our students to ensure their success as health coaches. When you enroll in The Certified Transformational Nutrition Coach (CTNC) program, you will be provided with:







  • Three private 1:1 coaching sessions with your own personal coach

Weekly live Coaching Labs:
  • You will learn to master all of the key skills you need to coach confidently and effectively. We will train you on a number of coaching modalities, prepare you with real-life practice, and help you avoid the most common coaching mistakes.
  • You’ll experience open/freestyle coaching labs, coaching Q&A labs, and breakout coaching labs where you will practice their coaching skills in small groups and see expert coaching demonstrations with explanations and "play-by-play" breakdowns.

Also included in the CTNC program is The 6-Steps to 6-Figures (or More) Business Building Blueprint, which you will receive monthly Business Building Labs to get business coaching and personalized support with building your business. As well as bonus business training from industry professionals.

We are always just an email or phone call away with a quick response time. 









Are there live training sessions /if so how many and when?

YES! There are weekly live sessions for CTNC students.

These live weekly trainings range from:
  • Open/freestyle coaching labs
  • Coaching Q&A Labs
  • Breakout coaching labs where you will practice their coaching skills in small groups and see expert coaching demonstrations with explanations and "play-by-play" breakdowns.
  • Student Led Training - Your fellow students (or you!) lead a special training around a variety of topics ranging from health to business
  • Expert Trainings from leading industry professionals 

In The 6-Steps to 6-Figures (or More) Business Building Blueprint, you will also receive:
  • Monthly Business Building Labs - Get business coaching and personalized support with building your business. 
  • Expert Training from Industry Professionals - Enjoy training on getting clients, making money as a coach, choosing your niche, and building your business with experts who have proven success track records.


If I can’t make the live trainings, will there be recordings I can watch? 

Yes we always record the live calls Coaching Labs and share in recording in your student portal.

What is the length of the program, and how much time is required each week to complete my certification? 

The CTNC program is 42 Lessons, which is laid out to be completed in 4 months, with a new lesson dropping each week. We give you 12 months to finish your certification. 

We suggest blocking out 4-8 hours per week to dedicate to the course if you would like to complete your Certification in 4 months. We also have integration weeks built into the curriculum, which are break weeks which allow you time to catch up or implement what you have learned.



How fast can I get my certification? 

It takes as little as 4 months to complete the Certification.

The reason for this is the lessons are released week by week which gives you time to go through the content and really understand it. We hold a high standard of education for our graduates and we want to ensure no one rushes through the content without actually learning it. 





Does this certification qualify me to be a health coach in my state? 

As a CTNC graduate you are allowed to practice coaching in all states. There are rules and regulations that differ from state to state regarding what title you are allowed to use.

Nutritionist and Dietitian are protected titles in many states so we suggest staying away from those. Calling yourself a Certified Health Coach and practicing as a coach is not restricted by any state, provided you stay within your scope of practice, which is something we discuss extensively inside the course. 


What is the difference between the Certified Transformational Nutrition Coach (CTNC) program and the specialist certifications?

The CTNC program certifies you to become a health coach. It is our only health coaching certification and the only one that qualifies you to call yourself a Certified Health Coach and sit for the board exams. 

Our niche trainings are specialist certifications - they are shorter, more specialized trainings designed to supplement a health coaching certification. These specialist certifications allow you to specialize in the niche you’re passionate about, be seen as more credible, and charge higher rates. 


Do you offer payment plans?

Yes, for our signature CTNC program we currently have third-party financing (Affirm, Klarna, etc) if you are looking for a payment plan. 

The $250/month for 24 months listed reflects the rate you can get through Affirm or Klarna.
