Why people take both

People take both for two reasons: to add professional coaching skills to their integration work, and to practice as credentialed integration coaches.

Paired with our ICF accredited Nature-Connected Coaching certification, you meet the coach-education requirement toward an ICF credential, ACC or PCC. NBIC on its own does not meet that requirement.

NCC is 315 ICF Level 2 accredited hours. NBIC is 120 training hours over 8 months, 60 or more of them live.

You can take NBIC while you are going through NCC. We put the two together so one does not get in the way of the other.

What you get

The full NBIC certification program, including ongoing access to your recordings
Lifetime access to the self-paced nature-connection courses and content library
Membership in a professional nature-connected community, ongoing
A full unit on building and filling your practice, so you can finish the program with clients, not just a certificate
The ICF Level 2 education pathway when bundled with NCC
Live mentoring and two in-person gatherings
A full year of business mentoring, two years when bundled with NCC
