Hi Julie! Great question, actually. You don't need any degree to become a certified health coach. One of the (many) beautiful things about the IIN program is that there are NO prerequisites and there is no "typical student." Once you go through the course you will become certified as a Holistic Health Coach, affiliated with the American Association of Drugless Practitioners as a holistic health practitioner, you'll learn all you need to know to reach your own optimum health AND be an effective and successful counselor, and (this was just announced so I'm still excited about it) you will actually earn 40 college credits.
In short, yes, IIN provides EVERYTHING you need to pursue a career as a health coach--the website, business cards, amazing teachers, your own health coach, a supportive community, books, admission to live events, etc. etc. And the benefits of being an alumni are just as powerful.
I'm sorry to hear about the layoff plan but it sounds like this could be the perfect time for you to pursue this lingering dream of yours. Every door that closes leads to an open one! I'll send you a direct message so we can chat some more, so feel free to get in touch directly with any other questions. I'd be honored to help you as you explore IIN some more and make your decision. And hopefully you can take advantage of the scholarship before it ends on Thursday!
Thanks for reaching out! Talk to you soon!
