NBC-HWC Certifying Exam Virtual Course
Welcome to the NBC-HWC Exam Preparation Course!
Coaches will have two options to choose from:
1) Attend and participate in the LIVE program with a cohort of coaches
2) Study through the virtual self-directed program here at your own pace
If you’re looking to study at your own pace without attending live, you’re in the right place. And, if you want to join a cohort to study in small groups in the live sessions instead, you can see the dates, times, and register here.
This comprehensive program is designed specifically for coaching professionals like you, who are committed to advancing their expertise and achieving the National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC) credential.
Throughout this course, you will actively engage with a variety of resources and activities tailored to deepen your understanding of core coaching competencies, ethical guidelines, and evidence-based health and wellness coaching principles.
Our goal is to equip you with the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to excel on the NBC-HWC exam and elevate your practice to new heights.
Together, we will navigate the intricacies of the exam content, hone your coaching approaches to exam-specific scenarios, and help you study smarter - not longer!

2 timed mini practice tests
flashcards
study workbook with downloadable handouts and worksheets,
