Due to the content and additional tools, programs are not always priced the same per contact hour. However, as a rule of thumb, most of our full certification courses are priced between $35 – $50 per hour and most of our continuing education courses for BCCs are priced between $15 – $25 per training hour. (Since November 2023 – BCCs may enroll in a full coach certification and count those hours as CEs… they cannot take a course they used for their initial certification.)
****ICF coaches: You may use Asynchronous programs – however at this time we are NOT officially an ICF provider – you **May be able** to submit a CE program for review and ICF will determine what CEs can be counted for CORE vs RDs. You will need: a “Concise class outline or syllabus that summarizes the names of classes/modules and the time allowed for presentation.”
So if you are interested in a BlueRio course and need a more in-depth document to send to ICF, please reach out to us in advance of purchasing your course.
