Description

The Foundation Certificate in Health and Wellbeing Coaching is a two-day Tailored Health Coaching Programme, accredited by the NHS Personalised Care Institute (PCI) and approved by the UKIHCA.

​You will learn coaching skills to use alongside and within your usual role, to empower people you work with to take more control of their own health. The course includes two live online training days, usually delivered two weeks apart, allowing time for participants to consolidate their learning and have opportunity to practice coaching skills with course peers. Participants will achieve state-of-the-art knowledge and understanding of core health coaching concepts and learn health coaching models and techniques they can immediately put into practice with those they work with – be they patients or clients.

​This is a stand-alone accredited and practical course that will enable participants to apply a health coaching approach from the end of Day 1 of the course. It also offers the perfect stepping stone to our Intermediate Certificate in Health Coaching. No prior experience is necessary.
