When looking for the right coach training program for you, make certain to first look for the NBHWC Seal of Approval – only NBHWC Approved Programs carry this unique Seal. It is the responsibility of each student to ensure that they understand a program’s approval status prior to enrolling.

The National Board for Health & Wellness Coaching (NBHWC) reviews and approves coach training programs. NBHWC does not offer training  and does not offer recommendations for specific coach training programs.

The National Board for Health & Wellness believes scholarship offerings promote equity of access to training opportunities for health coaches from all backgrounds, and are a step towards reducing health inequities and improving health care outcomes for all.
