By enrolling in the Institute for Integrative Nutrition�s Health Coach Training Program, you�ll be setting yourself on the path to prepare for an invigorating career, under the guidance of top health and wellness experts around the country. The best part? You don�t even have to leave your house.

Truly, online learning (or e-learning) has a multitude of benefits, including:

• Flexibility: Graduates of IIN�s program include parents, professionals, retired individuals, and everything in between. That�s because IIN�s online platform allows students to work at their own pace and on their own preferred schedule. For someone who can commit only an hour or two a week to schoolwork, or someone who needs to complete classes between 10 p.m. and 1 a.m., this program is a perfect fit.

• Financial ease. Going hand-in-hand with the above, IIN�s program allows its students to maintain a full-time job, run a business, or even freelance while completing the program. With IIN, you really can have it all!

• Accessibility to a stellar faculty. The teachers at IIN are leading experts at the forefront of nutrition, health, and wellness�and they come from all over the country. We are able to include these busy individuals as part of our program because of its digital platform.

• You�ll be helping the planet, too. If you�re striving to be a Health Coach, you also likely care about the health of our planet. By completing an online program, you�ll be reducing your carbon footprint by cutting down on travel and unnecessary supplies you might need if you were to attend an in-person class. Also, less travel leads to more money in your wallet, less stress, and more time with your family and friends�all necessities in maintaining happiness.

• It�s comfortable for all personality types. According to an article in US News and World Report, people who identify as introverts can especially benefit from online learning, where they�re able to think through and carefully formulate their points in class discussions without feeling like they�re being put on the spot. For students who want to stretch their comfort zones or for extroverted students, IIN offers Live events and conferences as a way for students to meet and interact in person.

Online learning certainly seems to be the mainstream way of the future. In fact, Minnesota is currently considering a bill that would allow schools to offer e-classes in place of snow days to prevent the school year from running long due to repeated canceled classes.
