Health Coach Evaluative Experiential Learning Module

Instructions

The Evaluative Experiential Learning Module is the last step in your learning pathway towards the Health Coach Professional Certificate. This individual summative assessment consists of three 20-minute role-play simulations (approximately 2-hours) with the simulated person and the instructor using three real-world case scenarios. The simulations will be conducted virtually via Zoom and you will receive Zoom instructions before your session.

The instructor will observe all three sessions and assess you based on a scoring grid adapted from the National Board for Health and Wellness Coaching. You will receive personalized feedback at the end of the session.
