I graduated from IIN in Jun 2020

I graduated from IIN in Jun 2020. The experience at IIN was amazing and the theory about primary food enable me to transform my overall wellness.

Great study, great work!

I loved the study, it was fun to do and made me feel part of the community. I Love the work of spreading the word and making eating and living more healthy.simpler. What I missed in the study was the practice of coaching. If you don't find the right sparring partners yourself, and this is not always easy, there is no support other than 'keep trying'.

I tend to be more forward thinking than…

I tend to be more forward thinking than most. It was a big, expensive confirmation of everything I was doing already and why. I have not used this education once in the year I’ve been certified. There is zero support post program, so if you don’t already have start up capital and a network, Good Luck. I was also told as part of my tuition I would be financially covered to sit for a proctored exam for a national certification. The sales person lied to me and no one wants to make good on it now. The exam was an additional $150 I was bluntly told yes, it was included in the program. I asked directly.

They make it sound like the possibilities are endless. All possibilities are endless all the time. It doesn’t make the reality stronger. Most people can’t do this unless you hustle people for many, many months or buy a network. They claim to give guidance on how to sell heart centered, but it’s just a few videos with no real substance. Many people are currently not working or Do not have the money to spend on what they see as a luxury. Of course, there’s always the one person that did create a coaching program from nothing. That they claim “can be done.” This is not the case for the majority. They are selling you hope and excitement.

Save your money. If you want to health coach, find something more in-depth. This program is a very expensive stepping stone you could easily do without. I regret my purchase 100%. I still owe for half of a useless program. There is just not enough substance and communication/post program support for me. By the time I finish my next step, this will be obsolete. And I will still owe them money. Pass!

This institute changed me and my family…

This institute changed me and my family life. Since I started, we are eating better, we improved our style of life and also we are more healthy than before, especially my husband that use to eat very very unhealthy. Also, I have already started my new business of health coaching, which is keeping me very motivated and happy. Thanks IIN for all, I will miss attending class!

Life changing experience

It's has been mind blowing for me, it certainly has shaken a lot the way of me viewing life styles, my life, my family, the world and how I can put my grain of sand to help out.
I would've loved to see more updated material, the digital era is moving so fast that it needs to go along and introduce maybe some live teaching sessions during the program.

A life-changing journey

I don't have enough words to express my appreciation and gratitude for IIN. I feel literally blessed for finding this Institute and further supporting my personal, as well as so many other people, health journey by educating myself from the best professionals of the field, and making lasting behavioural changes!
IIN has changed my approach to food and to life in general, and has managed to grow my passion for being of service and sharing my knowledge with whoever needs it!

No certificate until now

I did my graduation and I did the full payment before even we start the course but I didn't get my certificate which supposed to be sent one year now. I contacted them regarding it and they said that they send it via normal post and they ask me if I accept to pay an extra charge to send it via a fast and safe mailing service. I did accept and I paid extra charge but no certificate I tried to reach them via e learning center sending many complain everytime they came with a new reason corona situation and they aren't working in their office so they can't do anything for moment even if I know that all the shipment companies and mailing services are back to work along time ago
I'm really upset about their negligence and no reaction they supposed to assure the reception of my certificate during 4 to 8 weeks after I graduated now it's been one year I didn't get it

Hi Badia,

Thanks so much for taking the time to write this comment. I’m sorry you’ve had such a frustrating experience. We strive to get our certificates out within 4-8 weeks of graduation to all graduates. Unfortunately, Corona virus has significantly impacted our normal operations, including printing. We’ve recently switched printers, and are working on getting any missed certificates printed, signed, and mailed as soon as possible.

We’ve looked in to your account, and we will re-print and re-send your certificate via fedex in the next 3-5 days. Someone from our support team will reach out to you via email to forward the tracking and delivery information.

Please accept our most sincere apology. We know that this rate of certificate delivery is not our practice, and we are working to ensure that you, and all members of our community receive things from us in a timely and efficient manner going forward.

Not worth the price

I was so excited to take this course, earn a certificate & become a health coach. I do not feel like the investment (money & time) matched the end result.

PROS:
- Well organized online course. The format is visually appealing, user friendly & easy to navigate.
- Course of study is at your own pace.
- It’s refreshing to feel like you’ve “found your people” who are passionate about holistic health.

CONS:
- Most of the information and materials are pre-recorded (and some out dated) seminars & lectures from previous in person sessions.
- A lot of the information can be found online (Google or YouTube).
- The only interaction with other students and an instructor comes at the end-via weekly conference calls. You feel very disconnected as a student throughout. There are Facebook groups to connect people in your area but it’s not super active after the first few months.
- IMO- you’re not REALLY taught how to be a coach, how to network or how to market your business. All you’re told is to set up a generic website & make business cards. I feel like the program was advertised completely differently. It should probably be more of a business class.
- THE PRICE. This course is not worth $5000-not by a long shot. Before signing up, I asked an IIN graduate & she flat out told me it wasn’t worth the money. I wish I had believed her.
- You don’t have lifetime access to the materials. You get one year after completion to log in. You can save documents but it doesn’t make sense without the format.

I feel pretty disappointed that I spent a year of my life and a big chunk of money on this.

I really loved the content but...

I really loved the content. It was right up my alley, adding to my years of study, validating and expanding on what i know. I was excited and inspired. I wasn't able though to put it into action during the course because it was a lot of info and work on it's own that to also manage starting a business, making a website, business cards, etc. wasn't possible time wise for me. I spent much more than the projected 7-10 hours/week. It would have been helpful to do it during the course because i would have been more supported in my efforts. I wish i could do it again and now create my business under the guidelines and support, but not practical to pay for it again. The biggest bummer was the "graduation celebration"... I was so proud of myself for all my hard work, and there was a build up for this graduation, but it was like an info-mercial to sell more 'products'. i was actually so embarrassed (my partner and i were trying to celebrate with it) that I turned it off. It was as if in that short upsell (aka Graduation Celebration), i lost all respect and motivation for being a health coach & everything i had learned.
