I am interested in becoming a health coach since I have a Bachelors in Nutrition and Food Science since May 2017 when I graduated with a 3.8 GPA. Currently, I am in the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics certificate program in my alma mater and will get my dietetic verification statement in December 2021 when I graduate. I also heard that getting dietetic internships are extremely competitive. So I may be a RD2B but it depends due to different hurdles - if I get the internship and the RD exam. Anyway, what are good health coaching certified programs? What do ICF and NBHWC mean? Does the health coaching program have to be NBHWC or ICF Master Level Certified in order to get a health coach job (I see the certifications as a job requirement in Indeed)? What does accreditation mean? What do the various plans entail? Do the curriculums include how to get hired as a health coach? What are the price points of the health coaching certification programs? I saw that some of these programs can be very expensive such as the the Institute for Integrative Nutrition can be $5,000-6,000. What do you think of Wellcoaches , Health Coach Institute, or Dr. Sears Institute of Integrative Health?
