How long will I have access to the program?The pre-recorded training webinars are available for three months after the course ends. You are free to keep all handouts, slide decks, and transcripts of the training webinars. (See Copyrighted Materials below.) The recorded live Zoom classes will be on the course website for two weeks following each live class.
-
What is the estimated weekly time commitment?For optimal engagement, you’ll read the book, watch the weekly pre-recorded training webinars, and attend the live Zoom class. You can plan on averaging 3 – 3 ½ hours per week.
-
What materials are provided, and are any textbooks required for this course?Each training webinar has accompanying downloadable slides. Handouts for coaching, observing, and offering feedback are provided. Please read our book Motivational Interviewing in Life and Health Coaching: A Guide to Effective Practice. (You may want to do this simultaneously with the weekly live Zoom sessions.)
-
What is the format of the training?First, you’ll watch the weekly pre-recorded training webinars before attending each live Zoom class. (Each webinar is 20-45 minutes long.) Then, you’ll attend the live group Zoom class to review and collaborate on that week’s content. In the live class, you’ll watch demos of the skills, then have time to practice the skills in small groups and receive feedback. You’ll receive handouts for coaching, observing, and offering feedback.
-
Is attendance mandatory?To receive the approved NBHWC 18 CE hours, you’ll attend each live Zoom class. If you cannot attend, you’ll have two weeks to watch the recorded live session and complete a short quiz to verify that you viewed the recording of the live class.
-
What is required to receive the 18 CE hours for NBHWC?At the end of each pre-recorded webinar, you must score 100% on short quizzes (multiple attempts are allowed). You must also score 100% on an end-of-course assessment (multiple attempts are allowed). 100% attendance or verification of watching a recording of a missed live Zoom class is required. Reading the accompanying book is optional, though highly recommended, as it reinforces the content and provides many coaching samples. Purchasing the book also offers you access to 20 additional downloadable handouts. To receive credit hours, you must submit your certificate to the NBHWC during the recertification process. If you are applying for CE hours, you are required to take all quizzes, and the end-of-course assessments, to receive attendance verification.
-
How much do I have to share in our live group Zoom classes?We know that learning about MI is different than learning how to use it. It takes more than reading a book and watching a webinar. We’re creating a safe and supportive community so that you can be fully engaged to get the most out of this experience. We believe in group wisdom, which means we believe each person has something of value to contribute! We hope you feel comfortable thinking out loud, asking questions, challenging assumptions, and practicing short coaching sessions with your fellow coaches. If you choose to ‘pass’ for any reason, we offer compassionate acceptance for what is best for you.
