Are There Additional Fees for Board Certification?
Board certification exams are administered by AHNCC and carry separate fees for initial certification and 5-year recertification. INCA grads get a discount.
Certification fees are separate from tuition
Board certification is offered through the American Holistic Nurses Credentialing Corporation (AHNCC), which charges its own fees for both the initial exam and recertification every five years. These fees are separate from your INCCP tuition.
Board certification exam fees are paid directly to AHNCC and are separate from INCCP tuition. INCA graduates receive a discount on the Nurse Coach (NC-BC) exam fee.
Certification fees and recertification rules change periodically. Always confirm current pricing directly with AHNCC before you budget.
Credentials you may sit for
- Nurse Coach – Board Certified (NC-BC)
- Holistic Nurse – Board Certified (HN-BC)
- You may use the Health & Wellness Nurse Coach – Board Certified (HWNC-BC) designation once you earn both NC-BC and HN-BC.
