Can You Give Me an Overview? ## A plain-language overview of the four-level INCCP: Foundations, Practicum, Board Certification Review, and Professional Development Branches. ### A four-level program The [Integrative Nurse Coach® Certificate Program (INCCP)](https://inursecoach.com/course/integrative-nurse-coach/) unfolds across four progressive levels. Foundations and the Practicum together form the complete program that prepares you to sit for board certification in Nurse Coaching and Holistic Nursing through AHNCC. ### Level 1: Foundations (14 weeks, 90 contact hours) About 5–6 hours per week. Each week you'll: - Watch recorded lectures and answer a few low-stakes “quiz” questions (retakeable — you can't fail them) - Participate in discussion forums, responding to prompts and engaging with peers - Practice **peer coaching** with a partner via web conference at a time you arrange together - Attend **live mentorship meetings** (2 hours) with your small group, formed from an availability survey sent after registration ### Level 2: Practicum (16 weeks, 156 contact hours) About 6–7 hours per week, and home to the **60 supervised coaching hours** required for board certification. You'll: - Meet for seven 2-hour live supervision sessions, every two weeks, with your small group - Coach real practice clients — in person, by phone, or via secure software we provide at no extra cost - Transcribe three sessions for written feedback from board-certified Nurse Coach Faculty Mentors - Present one nursing situation to your small group ### Level 3: Board Certification Review (self-paced) Includes the Nurse Coach Board Certification Review (24 contact hours) and a Holistic Nursing Certification Review course (contact hours coming soon). Both are included in every pathway and help you solidify your knowledge and prepare confidently for the exams. ### Level 4: Professional Development Branches (self-paced) Choose the **Nurse Coach Private Practice Business Branch** or the **Integrating Nurse Coaching in Organizations** branch (40 contact hours), or both — depending on your pathway. ### Tuition and registration View tuition on the [course page](https://inursecoach.com/course/integrative-nurse-coach/)'s Tuition section.
