Just as in coaching, we recognize our students are unique with different preferences for a professional coaching certification. The Wisdom of the Whole Certified Coach pathway is for students who would like to obtain a certified coach credential from the Wisdom of the Whole Coaching Academy LLC*.
After completion of either our 30-hour Core Competency Course or our 90-hour Holistic Coaching Mastery program (or our previous 60-hour coach training program (Foundations 1, Foundations 2A, Foundations 2B, and Practicum)), graduates can apply to take our exam and become a Wisdom of the Whole Certified Coach (WWCC). If you are currently taking our 90-hour Holistic Coaching Mastery program (Core Competency, Advanced Tools, & Practicum, Healthy Lifestyle Basics), you also qualify to sit for our WWCC exam.
The Wisdom of the Whole Certification Guidebook outlines the exam process and requirements in detail, how to prepare for the exam, and the requirements for re-certification. The Guidebook is only available for current students or graduates of our coach training program, and you must read the Guidebook in it’s entirety prior to registering for the certification exam.
The certification pathway involves a knowledge and skills assessment which consists of one 50-question multiple choice exam along with the submission of one recorded coaching session for review by Wisdom of the Whole assessors.
Certification exam fee: $345.00
How to apply: Email [email protected] with your name and the date you completed our coaching training to request our WOW Certification Guidebook. Once you have read the guidebook, you may request instructions for the exam registration.
*Please note: The Wisdom of the Whole Certified Coach credential is not a national coaching credential. Our certification is a certification to the Wisdom of the Whole Coaching Academy’s curriculum. Someone that passes our exam can say they are a Certified Coach through Wisdom of the Whole Coaching Academy LLC, or, a Wisdom of the Whole Certified Coach (WWCC).
In addition to our curriculum-based certification, the Wisdom of the Whole 90-hour Holistic Coaching Mastery program also prepares students to apply for the nationally accredited Nurse Coach, NBHWC, and ICF coaching certifications.
We encourage our students to also pursue these certification pathways based on their individual professional and personal needs. Our courses are approved for coach training hours that apply toward International Coach Federation (ICF) certification and are approved as continuing coaching education units if you are already credentialed. Courses are also approved for continuing nursing education credit, which can be applied toward the Nurse Coach and/or Holistic Nurse Certification / Re-Certification offered through the American Holistic Nurses Credentialing Corporation.
