Yes. The certification program was designed to be used as a stand-alone or in combination with your current practice. You can take all Coaching lessons as they are, or incorporate specific elements into your current practice. We also have graduates who go into specialties. For example, the course covers a wide range of subjects [Money mastery, Weight Mastery, Parenting Mastery, etc] but some students graduate and focus their whole practice on one element like Relationship mastery and how to find love. 

You will be taught the spiritual philosophy of over 100 famous self-help authors such as Tolle, Chopra, Dyer, etc. combined with
HLC’s unique “on-the-job training” and this hands-on experience is what you need to learn to be successful. This is important because
 philosophical concepts ‘ALONE’ will not professionally prepare you to do the work you love and were born to do.

Interactive Spiritual Life Coaching certification course- In order to keep a high standard of support and personalized attention both during the class and outside of class, HLC keeps the class sizes small. Often a semester will close early once capacity is reached. Those who do not make the cutoff will be placed in the following semester. 

A subset course contains materials and Self-Mastery Assignments from the main Spiritual Life Coaching certification course that has been sectioned off to be taken individually.

Often, a student takes a subset course because their budget or time constraints won’t allow them to enroll in the full certification course.  This allows the student to start working toward their certification piece-by-piece instead of putting their entire career path on hold until they can enroll in the full certification course.

Bonus- Students can receive tuition credit if they matriculate within 90 days to the next course. All assignments within each module can be credited toward the full certification course.

Personal Journey- Many students take the subset courses, not with the intention to become certified but for their personal journey as a way to empower and improve their lives.

Yes, HLC’s rapid growth is creating career opportunities for Professional Certification course graduates. HLC has a Residency Program where we hire our best grads to do life coaching and training.

The interactive certification course is 18 weeks long.

For the independent study version of the course, the student has one year from the date of enrollment to submit all requirements to the office and schedule the open-book test.

Interactive Course- There is unlimited student-to-instructor support.

Independent Study Course- For the self-paced Independent study certification course, support comes from the Coach's 101 Orientation class and 1 Certification Prep Class with an Instructor to go over your course materials and logistics to set you up on the path to success!

Students are responsible for determining the legal issues involved in opening a holistic practice as a spiritual Life Coach.

No, the Spiritual Life Coaching certification program is all-inclusive. It includes all Coaching "how to" training and class support documents and client materials.

HLC was established in 1993, and is the oldest life coaching and spiritual counseling certification school in North America. HLC acquired its accreditation through the American Association of Drugless Practitioners [AADP] because the International Coach’s Federation [ICF] as well as all the other current accreditation organizations did not exist.

HLC respects the ICF as a professional organization, but HLC has intentionally remained with AADP because they specialize in complementary, holistic modalities such as integrative psychiatry, massage therapy, spiritual life coaching, reflexology, Reki, etc.

Today there are several agencies that offer a life coaching accreditation: AADP, IAC, ICF, and USLCA. All of these organizations are independent privately held corporations that are not backed by anyone unifying governmental authority. Since 1993 HLC has witnessed many accreditation businesses open and close its doors, and that is why we are proud of our long-standing relationship with AADP.

The work of people and groups such as Byron Katie, Avatar, etc. are admirable and HLC respects the work they have done.

The main difference is the level of clinical research and field-testing that our staff has done to determine which Coaching exercises helped the most amount of Coaching clients get the greatest amount of self-help improvements, in the shortest period of time. No other organization invested 30 years of research, plus 15 years of clinical field testing to create a spiritually-based, technically grounded healing-modality that creates permanent behavioral change for anyone who performs the exercises as assigned.

HLC’s HuMethod™ certification course is unique because it is the ONLY Spiritual Life Coaching Healing Modality in the industry. The HuMethod™  professional, spiritually-based Coaching course cannot be compared with any other Coaching school because it is more similar to traditional healing modalities schools such as chiropractic. HLC's HuMethod™ curriculum follows the same level of depth and detailed professionalism, which is why it has helped so many students like you build successful practices.

Graduates of HLC’s accredited curriculum are qualified to be Board Certified, Holistic Practitioners by AADP – the Accreditation Board of the American Association of Drugless Practitioners. The AADP is a professional association, which recognizes traditional and nontraditional programs around the world.

Holistic Learning Centers (HLC) is neither a church, nor a ministry, nor does HLC attest to any particular religious point of view. HLC is strictly a non-sectarian educational organization of higher learning that provides spiritual coaching courses, and educational products for spiritually awakened students. HLC offers educational programs designed for basic and advanced students, holistic practitioners, and people seeking Self-empowerment.

The HuMethod^TM is an empowering healing modality with proprietary, clinically proven, results driven Life Coaching and Self-help training system, with decades of research and field-testing. HLC’s Life Coaches use the HuMethod™ to professionally facilitate well field-tested exercises with their Life Coaching clients, to help them quickly achieve their self-help objectives.

Essentially, the HuMethod™ training system teaches students how to use emotional, psychological, and self-nurturing exercises in order to maieutically teach the client to permanently change behaviors that no longer suit them.

The term clinically tested means that for more than 25 years, HLC has tested hundreds of exercises on thousands of students to prove what works and what does not.

The HuMethod™ title wasn’t chosen because it is our founder’s spiritual name. It was chosen because the word “Hu” refers to the subconscious, divine and quantum powers that exist within all human beings.  Mastering how to tap into these Universal Powers is why HuMethod™ Certified Coaches are able to create the permanent behavioral changes needed for their clients to manifest their self-help goals as quickly as humanly possible.
