Learners work with an assigned Academic Adviser who facilitates the learning process and provides feedback on assignment submissions. Each course assignment submitted to the learner’s Academic Adviser, is responded to with feedback along with an 8-hour Continuing Education certificate for each course evaluation submitted. The CE certificate may be used for professional re-credentialing or for post-professional training which is a deductible tax expense and comes under the “professional development and continuing education” category.

Wellcoaches learners also have access to NIWH bi-monthly teleconferences with Academic Advisers and Q & A sessions to address course specific inquiries. Additional classroom access, beyond the allotted 18 weeks, may be purchased to complete the program.  After the completion of the 16 courses, a proctored exam is taken in the learner’s geographical area.

Upon successfully passing the exam, the learner is awarded a Certificate of Study in Whole Health Science. All NIWH Whole Health programs are available to Wellcoaches graduates, however, all programs other than the Whole Health Science program require prerequisite degree credentials, licensure or certification.
