Overview
The Diploma in Coaching for Lifestyle & Wellbeing is the first of its kind internationally, providing coaches with a gold-standard qualification. The Certified Coaching Professional pillar is accredited by the International Coach Federation (ICF), ensuring globally recognised credentialing and future proofing your career. Graduates can also gain accreditation with the Personalised Care Institute UK (PCI UK/NHS) and become practitioner-level members of leading health coaching organisations, including UKIHCA, EMCC, and HCANZA. This diploma holds international equivalency to diplomas and degrees in most regions.
This programme blends two training pillars; firstly the immersive ICF-level coach training and then with the second pillar of specialised study in Human Nutrition, Wellness, Health, Psychology, Professional Practice and Business, plus your choice of three health, nutrition, or wellbeing electives to tailor your qualification to your passion. Elective options include Women's Health & Hormones, Gut Health & the Microbiome, the Non-Diet Approach in Coaching, Sports Nutrition, and more.

Assessment methods
Well College Global offers various assessment tasks for each unit, including multiple-choice and short-answer questions, written reflections, case studies, practice coaching, and recorded coaching submissions.

Assessments are internally marked and externally quality-assured before certification.
Learning at WCG
The classes you take will vary based on your course, offering different formats for meaningful interaction with staff, industry professionals, and peers.

Meet our Faculty"As an exercise professional the addition of the nutrition, health and wellness subjects in the program has enabled me to expand the clients I coach and to support them to to grow their wellbeing agency. I have to say the group training in the Certified Coaching Professional Programme was second to none. I felt so blessed to learn in real time with a group of Coaches, who just like me, wanted to be able to support their clients in the best way possible. Being trained by highly experienced Coaches, having the opportunity to observe others coaching, and having my coaching critiqued completely transformed the way I coach. I absolutely recommend this training to all Coaches."
Nikki has since gone and and is now a PCC ICF coach, qualified mentor and supervisor and is an instructor in a number of our programmes. Nikki Spagnolo,

CAN I JUST DO THE CERTIFIED COACHING PROFESSIONAL PROGRAMME? ▼
Absolutely! If you already have a health background and are just looking to add a coaching qualification you may like to just complete the Certified Coaching Professional Programme.

If at a later stage you decide you would like to add the diploma you simply add the Learner Registration Fee. Once you hold the diploma your qualification is shown as a Level 5 Diploma in Coaching for Lifestyle and Wellbeing Management, it is highly sought after in the corporate, speaking and professional coaching space.
