Randolph Community College’s Health and Wellness Coach Program Celebrates First Graduates

The first graduating class of Health and Wellness Coaches at Randolph Community College
Randolph Community College celebrated the first graduates in its Health and Wellness Coach pilot program on June 27, the first program of its kind offered by a North Carolina Community College. The 120-hour course is designed to provide graduates the basic knowledge, tools, and resources to work under the supervision of licensed professionals supporting individuals to improve their personal health. The class prepares students to sit for the Center for Credentialing & Education’s (CCE) Board Certified Coach (BCC) exam.

Eleven students completed the new program, which was funded by an $8,900 grant from the Randolph County Board of Commissioners that covered student scholarships, instructor costs, books and materials, and course development. The College worked closely with Randolph County Wellness Administrator Sam Varner in developing the program. Varner was also among the first graduates.
