This really wasn't a quality education
This really wasn't a quality education. What you get taught essentially, is a 12 week coaching programme that was created by one of the founders for her clients, but I was, quite honestly, embarrassed to offer this to my clients. It is not worth the money that you are supposed to be asking for, it's as simple as that. The 'Transformational Coaching Method', or 'TCM' that they teach is revolutionary, different to what others are doing but realistically, it is just asking questions that get to the heart of a clients desire for change - in a nutshell. It is advertised that you get nutritional education as part of the training - you don't. You get a basic overview of what causes hunger, and macro, and micro nutrients, which I suppose is fine if you are starting from scratch, which I wasn't. Other than that, what you get taught is that clients don't want more information on nutrition, they want change. To be fair, I did know this wasn't a nutritional education I was buying in to, but I was expecting more than I got. There was a lot of conversation around being certified by the CCE. Myself and many others in our group highlighted about half way through the course that the certification was advertised as CCE certified, but it transpires that it isn't. It is considered continuing education credit, but that's all. There was a lot of talk around, 'who told you that when you signed up, so we can ensure this is followed up on', but the truth of it is, there was a live video of Carey and Stacey talking about the accreditation themselves, that they were very excited about being able to offer this to their clients and how hard they worked to get the accreditation. Very disappointing, and support did nothing other than tell us they would look in to it. Lastly, as you would imagine, once you are on the training, they try to sell you so much more. BHC is just the beginning - you will learn the basics, but if you really want to do a great job with your clients, you'll have to spend another $8000 on 'Mastery', which if you look at the other reviews' is basically the same principle as BHC - a 12 week programme that everyone gets, scripts and all. You also get phone calls, trying to sell you live events. Perhaps I was a little naive about how these types of education are delivered, and the constant selling that you get when you sign up, but this was quite a surprise when I experienced it. Overall, I think I would summarise this as a very basic education and for sure lots of people go on to use this coaching package successfully and help people with serious health issues, but for me, I was looking to learn the skill of coaching, how to create a programme tailored to my clients needs, and how to be effective. This isn't what you get with HCI, sadly. If you want a fast track in to business with a 'done for you' programme with script - this may be for you, but beware - when you go to actually work with clients, I think you will realise how limiting this actually is to both you and you client.

Before all else, a massive marketing machine
I appreciate that I was able to get my start in the world of coaching thought HCI. However, I came to realize, that before anything else, HCI is a massive marketing machine. I receive many, many calls from them promoting the Live Events and Mastery program--even to the point of using the local prefix for my small Kansas town. That seems like a slimy tactic. To be honest, I have become completely turned off and rarely open their emails anymore. As far as the program is concerned, there was some good information, and it did help me start in the coaching world, but because they are such a massive marketing machine, they push numbers and encourage using canned (or done-for-you) presentations, handouts and packages. While I recognize that some consider this huge value, it is not who I am and is not why I want my own business. I want to create something that is a unique reflection of who I am. Knowing what I know now, I would probably make a different choice.

Excellent value for anyone desiring Life/Health Coach certificate!
The program is laid out very well with optional activities to keep you engaged. The program leaders have developed practice exercises throughout the program so you learn to coach right from the start In addition, they encourage multiple ways to get and stay connected to other students. I'm in week 5 and have already learned so much, it has transformed my life. I encourage anyone interested in becoming a Life/Health Coach to enroll in this program. It's all online and is one of the most economical programs out there.

I enjoyed most of the course
I enjoyed most of the course, but it was hard for people that were not in the same time zones as the mass of the students to find other in that same position with times to do group exercise. It was thorough in the weightloss department but I wish i could have gotten more lifestyle insight for other issues.... I also completed the course in June of 2018 and have yet to receive my certificate.

Amazing Experience
I did countless hours of research on how to become a Life Coach and where/how study holistic health. HCI was, by far, the best choice I could have made. I am just about to get my Health Coach AND Life Coach certifications - in just under a year. The energy is amazing, the people you meet and work with are amazing and every single lesson (without fail) teaches you SO much to use on your clients... and on yourself, and your own journey. They even give you programs to use for clients! This was great for me as I was unsure and scared of first steps. With HCI, I didn't have to worry about that at all as the facilitators and the success coaches were here to guide me (and my classmates) in that journey. I have recommended this program to absolutely everyone who has come my way wondering about my journey. Amazing experience!!

program is geared specifically for HEALTH and nutrition
This program is geared specifically for those interested in working with HEALTH and nutrition! Don't read my rating the wrong way it's a 5 Star program it's just NOT FOR EVERYONE. I came in wanting to be a LIFE COACH not at all interested in nutrition or fitness. The learning has been great and very knowledgeable... I definitely got what I paid for! However don't get "sucked in" by all the AMAZING REVIEWS if this is NOT you interested niche. Does the program offer life coaching skills? YES! Am I excited to start learning that side of it? OF COURSE! Do I plan to continue on with the program to Mastery? I'm not 100% sure I can afford it yet. Do I plan to work with wellness and nutrition clients to get the $ I need to further my education? YOU BET I DO! 10,000 in 10 weeks HERE I COME!!!
