Is the workshop really free?
Yes. Registration for the three-day introductory workshop is free. As with most free educational events, the organizer also presents a paid program during the workshop, and you can decide whether it’s right for you.
Does the free workshop include the paid certificate?
No. The Nutrition & Lifestyle Coaching Certificate is a separate program. Attending the free workshop does not make you certified, and it does not give you a credential to coach clients.
What to consider before enrolling in a paid program
- Total cost and payment terms, including any refund policy
- Time commitment each week and the length of the program
- What the credential is and whether it’s recognized by the employers or clients you hope to serve
- Whether it prepares you for the National Board for Health & Wellness Coaching (NBHWC) exam, if that matters to you
- Scope of practice rules in your state for giving nutrition advice
- Realistic expectations: no program can promise clients, employment or income
Nutrition coaching is not medical or dietetic care. Coaches can support healthy habits, but they don’t diagnose or treat conditions. People with diabetes, kidney disease, heart disease or other medical conditions should work with their doctor and a registered dietitian.
