How do IFI Certifications work?
Each of our courses have been developed to be delivered over two weekends, consisting of 30–40 hours of content. Whilst completed online, courses are interactive and require attendance and as such are not self-paced online courses. The courses include breakout group sessions that require participation for the successful completion of courses within the timeframe.
Onboarding — Once you register for an IFI course, you will immediately be sent registration details to gain access to Canvas, and view all of the course content and resources ahead of time. You will be sent a link to your built-in calendar with all of your live lectures, laboratories, and assignment due dates. Your teaching assistant will reach out to you.
Study Materials — Read the module, complete the corresponding content (i.e. video, podcast, article reading, etc.).
Live Lectures — Attend your live lecture and laboratory session with the teaching assistant.
Take the Tests — Take the end of the module test by the predetermined deadline, outlined in your calendar
IFI Certifications give you a graduate-level education in health and exercise sciences and behaviour change, at a tiny fraction of the cost. Compared to other online certifications, IFI not only guarantees a job upon completion of the course, but clients who get results. All of the material you learn can be immediately applied to your coaching career.
