How do I restart as a Health Coach?
You keep your PREKURE qualification, but to use the Certified Coach title and brand marks, join a professional association and submit proof.
You will never lose your PREKURE Coaching qualification.
However, to be able to continue to use the PREKURE Certified Coach Title and use the PREKURE Brand marks in your marketing material, then you do need to follow the steps below:
To maintain your active Coaching status, you can choose one of the following options:
- Health Coaching Body Membership: If you are a member of a recognised Health Coaching body (like HCANZA), your certification will remain valid. Or,
- Membership in Another Health Professional Body: Alternatively, if you are a member of another health professional body (e.g., your registration as a Social Worker), this also qualifies you for certification maintenance.
The training and CPD you will undertake with the professional body meets PREKURE's requirements for maintaining your status as a Certified Health Coach.
Therefore your first step is to join a professional association. Then you can submit a copy (or screenshot) of your registration here.
You do need to join a professional association within 2 years of graduating from PREKURE. HCANZA will consider membership for those beyond 2 years from graduation on a case-by-case basis with evidence of relevant CPD during those 2 years.
Once you have submitted that form, you are welcome to apply for your PREKURE Brand marks here.
