As we grow the NDPP across the country, building a quality Lifestyle Coach team is integral to this process. The State of Wellness offers wide, varied, and ever-growing training opportunities for your team. These opportunities range from the DPP Lifestyle Coach Training to “advanced training” opportunities to develop facilitation and coaching skills! Training consists of both live interactive live classes and dynamic multimedia, self-paced study components.
Now….here’s the “latest”!! Each Advanced course/topic is a stand alone training suitable for anyone who wishes to improve skills relating to group facilitation/coaching. Each training was created in response to needs and interests expressed by both existing coaches and CDC’s desire for continuous quality improvement. Trained coaches are expected to complete at least 2 hours of advanced training each year. Check out the details of our “advanced” training opportunities:
