With the launch of our online certification program comes an amazing new opportunity: being able to study and certify in multiple courses at the same time!
Previously, your progress through the Z-Health curriculum was limited by the number of courses you could physically attend. For most coaches this requirement meant that they could complete a maximum of 3–4 certifications per year.
Now that you can choose to take your certification exams online after watching and studying the courses, you could FULLY CERTIFY in our curriculum in 12–24 months!
This flexibility also means you can study and certify in multiple courses at the same time – based on what you love!
