How much time should I plan to spend each week on coursework?

6–7 hours per week is typical—and most of our students work full-time while enrolled.

Great question! The Integrative Nurse Coach™ Certificate Program (INCCP) is intentionally designed to fit into the lives of busy professionals—including full-time nurses and parents.

Here’s what to expect by program phase:

🌀 Part 1: Integrative Nurse Coach™ Foundations
Duration: 14 weeks
Time Commitment: ~6–7 hours/week

  • Weekly online modules you complete on your own schedule

  • Bi-weekly live Zoom sessions with your small group and Faculty Mentor (2 hours, usually evenings)

  • Peer-to-peer Nurse Coaching practice sessions

Flexibility:
Have an emergency and can’t make a live session? Sessions are recorded, and you can watch the replay and complete a follow-up assignment to receive credit.

🌱 Part 2: Integrative Nurse Coach™ Practicum
Duration: 16 weeks
Time Commitment: ~6–7 hours/week (varies based on client scheduling)

  • Modules every 3 weeks

  • Bi-weekly 2-hour live sessions with your Faculty Mentor (same day/time as Foundations)

  • Time spent coaching your clients, which is flexible and based on your availability

  • You can coach clients in person, by phone, or via INCA’s secure web conferencing platform

This phase is all about real-world practice, and you’re in control of when and how you coach. Faculty Mentors are here to guide and support you every step of the way.

🕊️ Need to defer?
We understand life happens. You may defer to another cohort once within the first week of the program at no charge. After the first week, a small processing fee applies. Review the policy here.

With structure and flexibility, INCCP makes it possible to grow as a Nurse Coach while honoring your current commitments.
