I signed up for IIN’s accelerated spring term Health Coach certification program. After giving in to the high pressure salesforce that comes from multiple directions, I decided to go ahead and sign the agreement. I was excited but felt concerned about the reviews I had previously seen about their billing and certification practices. But kept my focus on a much needed constructive use of the next six months... then I continued to get sales emails from IIN. And after telling them I had already joined she told me I had not joined — I had already paid $49 and signed the agreement. At this point I’m furious and worried about what and with whom I am contracted (or possibly not contracted, I’m still not clear because they won’t return my emails now!!!) I want nothing to do with this, this is not wellness this is online content and a marketing machine.Read More

I wish I could offer zero stars. If you are even slightly questioning this program I strongly urge you to reconsider. This “institute” is questionable if you do some simple ****** searching. There are many reports of dissatisfaction from graduates as well as employees working for the business. My experience was as a student in the program. I was enrolled in this program in 2018 after some very aggressive and suggestive phone calls from their sales team. I refuse to call anyone employed by this business anything other than a sales person. Their interests and goals are to make money which is grotesquely obvious by their outdated and embarrassing course content. The information you end up paying well over $5,000 for after tuition and many, many additional fees is offensively simplistic. I will honestly tell you that there is much more intelligent, informative and educational info available in a free ****** search or free tutorial offered by many practicing nutritionists and/or coaches. It is below a child-level education. The claim that countless experts teach the courses is a joke. They are decades old, poorly recorded, horribly edited videos from random speaking engagements that these people have given. Again, content that you can attain for free in the depths of the internet. The coursework is mind-numbingly simplistic and hardly serves any purpose. The online platform is severely outdated and impractical. Overall, this program seems far from legitimate and I’m honestly shocked to see them still operating. I can not encourage you enough to take your business elsewhere. If you are honestly seeking some form of certificate in order to begin your work seek elsewhere- I wouldn’t trust someone with a certificate from IIN to babysit a pet rock. There are amazing programs for nutritional therapy that are incredibly informative and helpful. Stay away from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. If I could go back in time and save my money I would- lesson learned to do more research before being assertively talked into something over the phone. And also, don’t give them your contact info unless you are ready to be obsessively contacted by them. I received daily phone calls and emails from multiple staff members prior to my enrollment and even after I resigned from the program. I have had to block over half a dozen different email addresses addresses from the business. They are predatory sales people. Honestly it is a nightmare.
