The depth of the teachings in this program is truly life changing. I feel fortunate to have found out about this institute and I’m certainly proud that this institute is where i’ll be certified!
We don't take it lightly that you described the experience as life changing. Discovering the right place for your certification is a big decision, and we’re so grateful you chose to pursue it with HCI!
I was looking for a course to further my life coaching skills and this has been a great addition, the team is great at supporting and providing information and insights to help you be the best coach you can!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that our course has been a valuable addition to your life-coaching journey. The HCI team is passionate about providing meaningful support, insights, and guidance, and it’s fantastic to know that it’s making a positive impact.
This is not the program for me. I don’t connect with this style of coaching. I don’t plan to finish the course and it’s unfortunate that I won’t get a refund.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that the program you enrolled in hasn’t been the right fit for you. Your experience matters to us, and we’d love the opportunity to understand what didn’t connect and explore how we can better support you. Would you be willing to share more details? If so, we want to hear from you! Please contact us at [email protected].
The program and structure is informative and easy to follow. Each week is divided into smaller increments of information, which makes it easy for people who also work full-time and have family obligations. The videos are full of knowledge and encouragement. I’ve completed three skills labs so far, and have found those to be helpful to put the skills that we discuss during the lessons into practice.
We're so glad that you found the information easy to digest and fit into your busy schedule, Lori. Thank you for taking the time to share!
I love how I am learning coach techniques with the nutritional facts. I've applied so many of these tidbits to my daily life and have seen real changes in this month. Even if I crash and burn as a coach I invested in a life changing program. I am over the moon with the outcome so far. I am even more excited for what I will learn. My take away here is investe in your self and watch the change happen.
Wow, Jessie. Amazing feedback! We couldn't ask for a better review. We are excited to see your continued growth!
Health Coach Institute makes sure that it's not just passive learning. It's great that every week we pair up with a partner and practice what we have learned.
Practicing makes all the difference! Thank you, Wen-Yu, for leaving such a wonderful review.
This has been a fantastic learning experience so far and I have just begun my journey into Pillar 2. The presentations are pedagogically sound, yet delightfully enlightening. Kudos to the staff; you are doing a marvelous job.
Thank you for such a heartfelt review. We're excited for you to continue your journey, Kenrick!
There are so many things that have made my experience with HCI positive. The energy and support of everyone one. The resources that are available. The easy to understand and follow courses. The ability to practice what I'm learning. Meeting fellow classmates and learning from them.
Theresa, we are thrilled to hear that you've had such a positive experience! We love that you are connecting with your classmates to grow your skills as a coach. Keep up the great work!
I like the structure of the course and the fact that printed materials are readily available. It was a bit of a hassle to find a partner for the labs, but now that I have one, I am enjoying the experience because my partner is a good fit.
We appreciate you, Cathy! We're excited to hear that you're enjoying the labs with your new partner and that you're able to access the materials easily. Keep up the momentum!
I love the class videos. Carrie and Stacy communicate and teach so well! I anticipated more “class” time. I feel like there could be more info on some topics, and more student connection opportunities other than skills lab partner/ I’d love a weekly or bimonthly class connection.
This is great feedback, Danielle! Although students have the opportunity for regular live events such as Coaching Zones and the Skills Lab: Partner Match, we understand you'd like more connection opportunities with other students. We will be sure to document your idea for future improvements! Thank you for the lovely review.
Thank you for such a positive review! We're glad to hear that you've enjoyed your experience at HCI.
This course is not what I wanted, and it didn't deliver. I wanted a spiritual coaching program and was told it included a spiritual component. There was one week of spirituality. The spiritual module was also created by copying and pasting content from another module. How do I know?? Well, your editors missed changing a word from a previous module. So, instead of stating "spiritual," it says something else. This course is not credible. The content is dated. The actual owners do nothing in the course. At least with other courses I've taken, the owner is front and centre each week in live sessions with a cohort. Once signed up, the owners are not present. This was a money grab and full of nonsense.
Hi Cynthia, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and experience. The Become a Health and Life Coach program is meant to give students the coaching tools, techniques, and training to specialize in whatever niche that they choose. We understand that the program did not meet your expectations, however, and we will be sure to document your feedback. Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts with us. We appreciate you as a student, and hope that in the future you will be able to use what you've learned from the program with your future clients.
The content is comprehensive and easy to follow, the resources are relevant, helpful and useful. Additionally, the platform is easy to navigate. Currently, what I’m enjoying the most is having access to a very supportive community and completing skills labs.
Thank you for your kind words! We're glad you’re finding the content, resources, and platform helpful, and that you’re enjoying the supportive community and skills labs. We love having you as part of the HCI community!
The course is very informative, interesting and easy to follow.
We appreciate you, Leslie! Thank you for the kind review.
The mentors have been awesome, so passionate, informative and supportive. New, exciting material is coming to us at just the right pace.
Thank you for sharing how much you're enjoying the program, Thomas! We're glad the pace of materials is working well for you. Keep up the great work!
The pace of the training is excellent and the handouts are very helpful.
Thank you so much for your kind feedback. We're happy to hear that the pace of learning worked for you and that you're enjoying the handouts. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience!
Overpriced for what you get. 1st of all this is way more health coach focused with sprinkles of life coaching. They do give you a lot of information but it’s all pre recorded and honestly the instructors are painful to watch at times. You only get one module per week so it is not at your own pace as advertised. I even asked if I could have the modules unlocked early and they said no. The entire program could be done in a week if you were allowed to do all the modules at once but they stretch it to 6 months. I do not think it is worth the money. I think many of the people that compete the program end up having the certification but not being successful coaches. I’d look at other programs if thinking about coaching.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and perspective with us. We’re sorry to hear the program didn’t meet your expectations. The Become a Health & Life Coach program is designed as a 6-month, step-by-step training that blends health, life coaching, habit change, and business skills, with weekly modules to allow time for practice, mentorship, and community support. The weekly module release is intentional, as it encourages consistent learning and integration rather than rushing through the material. That said, we understand that everyone has different learning preferences, and we appreciate your feedback on pacing and format. HCI also stands behind student success with the Paying Client Guarantee as well as done-for-you materials, templates, and mentorship to help maximize ROI. You deserve to feel confident that your investment is worthwhile. If there’s a way we can support you in ending strong—even if your experience was not what you expected—please reach out to us.
I think the program has great content but the delivery is a bit hard to take notes and determine what will be asked on a test. I wish we had more content to refer back to rather than trying to find it in a transcript.
We appreciate you taking the time to share, Shiree! We’re always looking for ways to improve the learning experience, and your suggestion about having more accessible content to reference for quizzes is very helpful. We will be sure to document your feedback for future enhancements!
For me personally the format and the manner the material is presented is very well done. I am not good at all with working on the computer and still haven't tackled the video chat yet. I am doing my best to work past this personal limitation.
Thank you for the positive feedback, Connie! If you need additional assistance with navigation, please be sure to reach out to [email protected] for help. We're here for you!
My enrollment experience was exceptionally smooth. The representative I worked with provided clear, thorough guidance throughout the entire process, making it easy to understand the structure and expectations of the program. Now that I’ve begun my courses, I find the content well-organized and easy to follow. Connecting with fellow participants who are on this journey with me has added a meaningful and enjoyable dimension to the experience. Overall, I’m very satisfied with the program and feel confident in the path I’ve chosen.
Welcome to HCI, Ruth! Thank you for taking the time to share the positive enrollment experience that you had. We are excited to see all that you accomplish!
