Additional Expenses?
To be a Bio-i member, and take the Bio-Individuality Coach course, you must register for a special studying member account on the Coalition For Health Education website. This membership to the nonprofit private organization is only $20 annually and can be canceled anytime once you graduate. If you already have an account on the Coalition that is currently active and not suspended, this $20 fee can be refunded after you register. This account will provide you with all the coaching tools so you can learn how to use them during the course.
As an option, once you graduate, if you choose to use the site with your clients, you can activate the coaching account for a student discount of $195 (Normally $495) with a $15 monthly coaching fee. You can decide if you want to take this step after you graduate.
Other Possible Expenses
These tools are not required to learn or complete the course, but many of you will choose to pick up testing tools at your local pharmacy or online, so that you can test your own chemistry as you learn. The most common tools used are:
• pH strips - around $15
• Blood Pressure Cuff - around $40
• Glucometer - around $30
More advanced tools you may want to acquire include:
• Refractometer - around $50
• Ureas test kit - around $100
• Conductivity Meter - around $300
Again, these tools are not required to finish the course, and many are not even required to work as a coach. But once you learn how to use them, many of you will want to acquire some of these tools.
Our marketing course also teaches you about software and other marketing tools you may choose to use. Again, you don't buy any of these things from us, and they are not required, but they are possible expenses you may choose to take on if you feel that could help your business.
Does this course provide a state recognized license?
No. None of our courses provide any type of medical license or state recognized certification in any way. However, you will receive a certificate of completion and you will qualify to work as a health coach within the Coalition for Health Education, as well as receive client referrals from the Coalition . The course also teaches how to learn about specific laws and regulations regarding health coaching in your particular state, for those who choose not to use the Coalition framework that our coaches use.
If I decide this membership is not for me, can I get a refund?
Yes. We have a full 14-day refund policy where you can cancel your membership and get a full refund anytime within 14 days of your registration.
How much can I sell the online courses for?
It really is up to you. We find that most people will sell our Bio-Individuality Foundations course for between $45 - $129. And our more advanced courses for $89 - $149. The foundations course is a prerequisite for any of our advanced courses since that is where we teach people how to look at their own chemistry. For this reason, if someone buys an advanced course, it will include the foundations course as well.
There can also be value in giving these courses away to attract new clients. We go over methods to do this in the marketing course.
