ACHS recently sought input from experts in the healthcare workforce with a focus on credentialing for graduates of ACHS’s holistic health programs by asking what they thought about two emerging credentials: Certified Health Coach and Certified Health Educator.

While we gather and analyze what the experts think, we want to hear from you also! What do you think about the trends in career opportunities for credentialed holistic health professionals based on your experience and interactions with the healthcare community and your local workforce?

Did you know that many of ACHS’s programs have already been reviewed and found to meet or exceed the education standards for credentialing from several professional organizations? For example, our Certificate in Aromatherapy graduates are eligible to sit for the National Examination in Aromatherapy provided by Aromatherapy Registration Council (ARC) to become Registered Aromatherapists and use the trademarked letters RA after their name. In addition, ACHS Diploma in Holistic Health Practice graduates can apply for professional membership to the National Association of Nutrition Professionals and sit for the Holistic Nutrition Credentialing Board’s national examination to become “Board Certified in Holistic Nutrition."
