Frequently Asked Questions
Becoming a health coach requires more than just a health education. You’ll also need to sharpen your coaching skills and learn how to get a business off the ground and keep it thriving. The Primal Health Coach Certification Program is a well-rounded education in all three. We also make sure our graduates can start making money as soon as they have their certification in hand by providing a wealth of resources, done-for-you templates, and even a ready-made coaching program. We balance out the learnings with live webinars, optional events and masterclasses, and have a tight-knit community of coaches to support one another on our mission to change the health of the world. And we do it all at a significantly lower price point.
You get to complete the course at your convenience moving at the quickest pace of one chapter a week. There is a lot of material to cover and digest, and the exams are rigorous. It’s conceivable that a real all-star could breeze through the material, succeed on the tests, and be done with the course work in 6 months. Designed for flexible self-study, you certainly don’t need to move at a rapid pace. Especially because this certification course isn’t merely an online course with exams but a complete program with a robust library of multimedia educational materials. There is no rush to pass in haste and potentially compromise your educational enjoyment.
This course material is on a par with an upper-division college course in the health sciences, but the material is presented in a simple, straightforward manner that’s easy for even the most non-technical reader to understand.
The 24 exams are made up of multiple choice and true/false questions that have been carefully scrutinized by an elite team of beta-testers to ensure fairness and relevance to the written and video content course material. A score of 75 percent correct or better represents a passing grade. If you score below 75 percent, you can return to the material for review and then attempt the exam again and as many times as you need to pass it.
If you struggle on the exams, our staff is here to help you with one-on-one support to ensure that your experience is positive. On occasion, it becomes evident early on that a student is not a good fit for this rigorous course. If so, we will suggest that you discontinue your studies and accept a full refund provided it’s within the initial 30 days of your course, or you are otherwise early on in your progress and at our discretion.
This course is more comprehensive than any other health coach certification you will find in the world! Not only do you receive an in-depth education in the areas of nutrition and exercise science, sun exposure, sleep, stress management and other healthy lifestyle behaviors, but you are trained to become an effective and proficient coach. And we don't stop there. Without business know-how your coaching practice will never get off the ground, and so we provide pre- and post-graduation business development education and resources, including done-for-you programming materials. Mastery of these three pillars (health/nutrition, the art and science of coaching, the business of coaching) are required for certification and prepare you to be a successful health coach.
When you enroll in the certification course you immediately become part of our community, and we’ll do everything in our power to make sure you reach your personal health and career goals. We’re so confident that the program and our organization will exceed your expectations that we offer a 30-day, no-questions-asked, money-back guarantee. You’ll get a full refund if the course isn’t to your liking, or if life circumstances shift your focus and you decide that health coaching is no longer your preferred career path. We also pride ourselves on going above and beyond with course offerings, as well as bonus resources that make it as easy as possible to turn your career dreams into real-life earnings.

The Primal Health Coach Program expanded my access to and credibility with people who embrace primal principles but who may not have considered holistic medicine, enhancing my practice and extending my professional reach.
