This figure will increase rapidly, as health coaching is poised for tremendous growth. Choosing where to train can be confusing, as the number of programs keeps growing. Currently, 114 schools earned approval from the National Board for Health and Wellness Coaching (NBHWC). Many other programs offer certification but are not NBHWC-approved. Although most of these schools share some standard features, such as remote learning, their philosophies, type of training, and the overall quality of the educational experience vary widely.
