Great help for a big decision

If you’re checking out coach training programs, consider HCI. This review deals with the process of gaining information to make a big life decision. I’ve checked out a few and the amount of useful Information shared, questions answered with patience, and overall great attitude, was incomparable. I signed up for the training this morning and look forward to what lies ahead. Thank you, James Dillman III, enrollment coach, for all of the above!

Helpful and understandable

The courses are easy to understand and I love that I can go over them as much as I need. Help was readily available for support when I felt frustrated or behind.
Forever grateful for the knowledge and help to get me on the path I am called to do!

transformational program

I've been in the BHLC program for only one month, and I've grown so much. I value the opportunity to practice my skills in Skills Labs, access many demo videos, and progress at my own pace. This program is exceeding my expectations, especially regarding my personal growth as a coach. The process shows me the interconnectivity between us as coaches and clients, how we are always in a relationship with who or what we interact with, and how little changes can make a big difference. I appreciate that the program covers the business aspect. That was the main reason I signed up for this program, but it turned out to be so much more.

Content great. Customer service is lacking

I love the content.

I have that you do not have a customer service line that I can actually speak to. I have a lot fo unanswered questions because of this and that has been frustrating.

The Become a Health and Life Coach…

The Become a Health and Life Coach program through Health Coach Institute is thorough! Not only is the content from Stacey and Carey super informative and engaging, but the assignments to connect with classmates for labs based on the material we learned is invaluable practice and real-time feedback. As I complete this certification, I feel every ounce of knowledge and credibility I was hoping to have as an outcome.

I experienced such a beautiful transformation as I was working through my Health and Life Coaching Certifications these past several months.

The Life and Health Coach training…

The Life and Health Coach training program at HCI was structured in weekly chunks of information and activities that were manageable to incorporate into my week and the right amount of information to digest in that amount of time. I really appreciated the opportunity to work with other students on Skills Labs, which solidified the material for me and enabled me to preview how it feels to work with clients. The addition of a unit (pillar) on how to start and run your own business was super helpful. At the end of my six-month course, I am ready to launch my coaching career!

Comprehensive health/wellness and life coaching program

Carey and Stacey have put together a comprehensive program with so much information to help coaches when they are ready to start coaching for real. I especially loved Carey's ability to inject fun into her lessons. The insights and teaching of both are invaluable.

The best Health and Life coach training out there!!What made my training with Health Coach…

What made my training with Health Coach Institute great was the quality of the training. The trainers were knowledgeable, encouraging and authentically passionate about what they were offering. The exercises and labs were systematically presented to help me build my skills and my confidence, and the emphasis on me doing my own transformative work helped make me a believer in the power of coaching to help others transform their own lives.

HCI Review

The course was very informative and paced at a great speed. What’s more important is I am witnessing true transformation with my clients. I would have liked more information on procuring clients. It was sort of rose colored in the course when in actuality it is the hardest thing in starting a coaching business. Pilar 4 was helpful but was presented as if it is easy to gather clients.

I really enjoyed studying with HCI! There is a lot of information to process and they do a great job at pacing it so you can absorb it all. You have 1 year to complete the program however it is possible to do in 6 months!
Hope that there are more courses that you offer.
