Moving stories from ACE Pros
My ACE Certification provides me serious credibility. There are so many people calling themselves 'coaches' out there but they're lacking the credentials. ACE allows me to put my clients' minds at ease knowing I'm trained, educated and credible. I am so proud to be ACE Certified!
-Niki Campbell,
ACE Certified Health Coach
ACE has an excellent reputation. Knowing that the health coaching certification was NCCA-accredited was very important to me. I am very satisfied with the variety of education offered by ACE, and will continue to complete the bulk of my continuing education through them, while encouraging my colleagues in the field to do the same!
-Marianna Cardoza,
ACE Certified Health Coach
The ACE Health Coach study experience was simple and engaging–I love how all the material is rooted in behavior change. Physiology is interesting but can be presented as a dry subject. I did not feel this way with the ACE Health Coach Study Program and I always looked forward to the curriculum.
