Most Common Questions
HOW DO PEOPLE USE THE TRAINING?
You will be able to offer hope to everyone, from those who are healthy to those who are suffering from a severe health crisis. Most coaches use this training in their personal coaching business. Coaches do not give medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment; they instruct and coach people in their day-to-day goals. They provide proven systems, methods, tips, and tools to those they serve. Our coaches help change lives by helping clients change their lifestyle.
WHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT THIS COACHING SCHOOL AND CERTIFICATION?

Fourth, we are building a network of clients and referral sources to help you do more coaching and spend less time finding clients.
WHAT QUALIFICATIONS DO I NEED TO BECOME A MEDUCOS CERTIFIED LIFESTYLE WELLNESS COACH?
At this point we are requiring some type of prior health or wellness experience, or prior coach certification or its equivalent. During the application process, your prior experience will be evaluated by the admissions team. We are determined to set a new industry standard in the coach certification industry to ensure the credibility our coaches. This is imperative for us to reach our goal of having coaches play a much more significant role in the healthcare field. While are standards are high, the key is to have the heart of a teacher, the willingness to learn, and the drive to make a difference.
HOW INVOLVED IS THE COURSE? HOW MUCH TIME COMMITMENT IS REQUIRED?
The certification course is 12 weeks long. Classes are held once a week and are 90-120 minutes in length. For each class, it is expected that you will have about 1-3 hours of personal work to complete.
DO I HAVE TO KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT BEING HEALTHY?
No. Every coach comes with their own personal skill set and knowledge base. The design of The Meducos Method is to help people change behavior. As long as you keep your certification up to date, you will have access to evidence based health knowledge from health experts and physicians. You and your clients will also have access to and be supported by Specialty Coaches and Specialty Experts along the way. One of the major benefits to belong to the Meducos network is having the access to specialists and to the pathways that allow you to continuously increase your knowledge and skills as well.
CAN I BE A SPECIALTY COACH WITHOUT BEING A LIFESTYLE WELLNESS COACH?
Yes, and no. It's your practice, you can coach however you like and with that comes the freedom to have a narrow or broad focus. The Meducos Method is the core behavior change transformational process that your clients (the general public or other coaches) will be familiar with when they are improving their lives and because of this you will need to be familiar with the programs and methods offered. In order to truly be an expert, you must first know and live the basic principles taught in the Meducos Coaching School. If you are going to get referrals from other coaches, knowing the fundamentals is key for consistency and efficiency. For this reason, and to ensure the top performance, to be listed as a Specialty Coach you must be certified as a Lifestyle Wellness Coach.
WHY IS THERE A YEARLY RENEWAL REQUIRED?
We are dedicated to ensuring credibility, effectiveness, and top performance within our coaching network. This allows referring professionals to trust that anyone certified by Meducos will be the best of the best. This provides benefit to the clients using your services, to the referral professionals, to Meducos by maintaining its reputation, and ultimately to you as that reputation will be transferred to you as you earn that label. In order to maintain such strict standards, we have chosen to follow the model that works for other professional licensing organizations by requiring a yearly renewal process.
WHO SHOULD TAKE THIS MASTER TRAINING?
This Master Training is ideal for passionate people seeking to help others with their health. Anyone who is in the business of coaching others will benefit.
HOW ARE COACH CANDIDATES CHOSEN?
Quality is preferred over quantity. We are intentionally selective in order to maintain the highest standards of coaching. This helps us to build and maintain our credibility with the clients who use your services and the healthcare providers who refer you clients.
AS A COACH, WILL I BE AN EMPLOYEE OF MEDUCOS HEALTH INSTITUTE?
No. You will do all your coaching in your personal coaching business. Your affiliation with Meducos will be as someone certified to use and teach the Meducos programs to your clients. As long as you maintain your certification, you are allowed to use Meducos systems and content with your personal clients.
WILL I HAVE EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS TO USE THE MEDUCOS SYSTEM IN MY GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION?
Location will be a factor in our consideration of selecting coaches. Other considerations of choosing coaches is the demand for coaching services and the desire to grow in certain markets. While this type of coaching can be done virtually and clients for one coach can be located around the world, there is a great advantage to those coaches who set up personal relationships in their community with health care providers, employers, and other potential referral sources. We believe that the relationships a coach builds in their own local community is one of their best assets. It is our intention to make every attempt at helping you succeed in your personal practice. Your success improves our image, and our success improves your image. Any consideration about bringing in additional coaches into an already serviced market will be discussed with an existing coach.
HOW MUCH CAN I MAKE AS A HEALTH COACH?
There really is no limit to how much you can make as an owner of your own personal health coaching business. With only 2 new 12-week coaching packages added each week, your practice could be bringing in $46,560 a year just in coaching revenues (2 package sign ups X 48 weeks a year X $485 average client program fee). Signing up clients with higher packages, such as in a partner package (highly recommended) can bring in significantly more revenue and some coaches can make over $100,000 per year. *Revenues are not guaranteed by Meducos and depend on your personal average pricing and volume.
You can also generate revenue by: Royalties on any personally authored courses that are sold through the Meducos system, developing a team of coaches that work for you, training other coaches, or maybe you have your own ideas on how you can grow your business.
WHAT DOES IT COST ME TO BECOME A COACH?
There is a cost associated with becoming a coach who is certified to use the Meducos systems and content with clients. A significant amount of personal guidance and training is provided to get you to the point to where you are happy with your personal coaching business. We have established a small fee to make sure you are serious about your commitment to learning the system and growing your practice. We will build it with you, but with the amount of time spent on your behalf, we need to make sure that you are committed to it as much as we are. Remember, this is your business and as an entrepreneur you choose what you invest your time and resources in to be able to succeed. The Meducos system is designed to help you succeed in your health coaching practice. We succeed as you succeed. We can assure you that the amount of time helping you to succeed is of much greater value than the training fees associated with getting your practice thriving.
