Frequently asked questions
What can I do with this certification?
Chopra Coaches work in a variety of sectors and professions – they are active corporate wellness, education, across health care settings, start their own businesses as professional coaches, write books, lead retreats, and open wellness centers, to name a few.
What is the difference between this certification and IIN's HCTP?
Chopra Coaching is a life and health coach training rooted in the consciousness-based philosophies of Deepak Chopra with an emphasis on the Chopra Coaching Cornerstones of Purpose, Intention, Meaning and Shadow. IIN’s flagship program, HCTP, provides more than 95 faculty in over 75 different health and wellness topics, exposing students to many different aspects of health, wellness, and nutrition.
What does it mean to be a National Board for Health and Wellness Coaching (NBHWC) accredited program?
Starting May 2023, the Chopra Coaching Certification Program is a National Board for Health and Wellness Coaching (NBHWC) accredited and approved program. All NBHWC Approved Programs minimally meet the required standards in the areas of instructional hours, practical skill development and assessment, and faculty qualifications in the instruction of the competencies related to the practice of health and wellness coaching. Graduates from the May 2023 Chopra Coaching Certification Program qualify to pursue and apply for the NBHWC National Board Certification Examination and have the opportunity to earn the designation, National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC). Graduating from the Chopra Coaching Program does not include the NBC-HWC designation; you must complete the NBHWC requirements, application steps, and sit for the certifying exam to achieve this designation.
What if I can’t attend the scheduled webinars live? Are they recorded?
Yes all webinars are recorded and added to your learning platform following the session. Note, watching recorded webinars does NOT count towards accumulating the synchronous hours required to apply to sit for the NBHWC National Board Certification Examination.
Can I become a certified Chopra Coach but not follow the requirements of the National Board of Health and Wellness Coaching?
Yes! NBHWC requires that you attend most webinars live. Watching recordings does not count. For your Chopra certification, you may watch recordings of sessions and do not need to attend live.
How much is tuition? Do I have payment plan options?
Standard tuition is $4,995. You can choose to either pay in full or monthly payment options with Affirm.
