CIHWC adds to the CIC, doesn’t replace it
Q.I have the Certified Intrinsic Coach® certification. How does this differ from the Certified Intrinsic Health & Wellbeing Coach designation? A.Thanks for asking! The Certified Intrinsic Coach® (CIC) is the NBHWC-approved certification for health and wellness professionals wanting to apply to sit for the National Board Certification exam under the NBHWC transition phase requirements, which increase after 10/30/2020.After 10/30/2020, the 50-hr CIC will still be available, however we will no longer offer it as providing NBHWC-approved for eligibility to apply to sit for the National Exam. Instead, coaches wanting an NBHWC-approved certification will earn the 77-hr Certified Intrinsic Health & Wellbeing Coach (CIHWC), which also includes National Board Certification exam prep content.
As a CIC, you can apply some, most, or even all of your CIC toward getting the CIHWC, which adds Steps 3 – 6:
- Series I
- Series II
- About Health Coaching
- Ethics of Health Coaching
- Health & Wellness Education Topics
- 2-hours 1-1 with your coach mentor
- Coaching Mastery Journal
- 30-minute PSA
If you want to add the CIHWC to your CIC, contact us and we’ll get you set up to start.
