Why Certify?
This certification demonstrates your competency in the following areas:
The first part will demonstrate a working comprehension of the skills and concepts presented in the Level 1 CORE Training course via your six class cases, which include your three personal presentations and three written assignments.
Completion of the above requirement is the prerequisite for the second part.
The second part is where you will be refining your skills within a 4-month Live Attendance Internship Group, during which you will be presenting four additional cases.
To qualify for the certification Internship Group, you must have your own private practice or be working in a professional or treatment environment where you have plenty of access to on-going clients who are willing and able to commit to a nutrient protocol.
The certification Internship Group will meet every other week on WEDNESDAYS at either 9:00 am (morning section) or 6:15 pm (evening section) Mountain Time for 4 months, 8 consecutive biweekly groups. Each meeting will be 1.5 – 2 hours in duration.
The certification Internship Group must be attended real-time as no video recordings will be provided, which is different from the Level 1 CORE Training.
At the culmination of your certification Internship Group experience, you will have demonstrated your attained confidence and competence in practice readiness and will be conferred CERTIFICATION as a Recovery Nutrition Coach, Tier 1 (CRNC 1) and promoted to our Website Directory of practicing coaches.
