No pre-requisites are required to do the full EIQ Online Coaching Accreditation. However, to be insurable as an EIQ Certified Online Coach, you will need a Level 2 Gym Instructor qualification or equivalent. 

EIQ Nutrition is endorsed by Active IQ. As there are currently no defined industry standards for online coaching, and after much discussion with governing bodies, we decided at EIQ that although the course is aligned with other Level 3 fitness qualifications, given our value of being specific, applied and actionable, there was no accreditation route at this time that offered additional benefit to EIQ Online Coaching graduates. Any graduate with a Level 2 gym instructor qualification (or equivalent) can be insured as an EIQ Certified Online Coach

At EIQ we understand that you are likely studying alongside a full life. The course has been designed to be manageable alongside full-time work and life commitments over 9 months. Although it is self-paced, content is delivered monthly. It is easy to stay in the community after 9 months if you choose not to complete within this timeframe. 

Yes! We love the EIQ community and have made a highly accessible and discounted bolt-on option for you to top up your existing EIQ Nutrition qualification. 

Yes! Any graduate with a Level 2 gym instructor qualification (or equivalent) can be insured as a working EIQ Certified Online Coach

There are self-assessments throughout the entirety of the course. Upon completion of all modules, there is a written assessment that you will need to pass in order to receive certification. Passing this assessment is a pre-requisite for insurance as a EIQ Certified Online Coach

EIQ nutrition forms the nutrition modules within the EIQ online coaching course. 

If you would like only the nutrition part of the course you can still do EIQ nutrition as a stand alone course although we recommend the full course.
