Do you have the skills you need to lead results-driven wellness program?

Wellness is a complex field at the intersection of behavioral change, organizational strategy, technology and medicine.  More than ever, wellness professionals need cutting-edge expertise to create programs that deliver results.

Drawing from best-practice solutions and proven industry research, WellCert provides worksite wellness professionals, benefit managers, brokers, human resource staff and others with the skills they need to plan, implement, manage and measure employee wellness programs that improve health and reduce employee costs.  Designed by WellCert founder Larry S. Chapman, MPH, WellCert synthesizes 40+ years of experience with over 1,000 organizations.

WellCert is the preferred Wellness Certification for top national insurance carriers, HR consulting firms, benefits brokers, and wellness councils.  All graduates of the WellCert Program are identified on the WellCert Professional Registry.

The Certified Wellness Program Coordinator (CWPC), or WellCert Level I course, covers key skills that professionals need to build a foundation for results-driven wellness programming.  Level I covers the scope of wellness programming typically present in smaller organizations with limited resources, while laying the groundwork for higher certification levels.  The approach is highly practical, focusing instructional time preparing you to deliver results.

Challenge Examiniation

The 4-page open-book Challenge Exam can be completed at the time of the training or submitted later.  Participants must identify the single most important thing they learned about each of the 12 skills and the 7 required readings and why each point was important to them.  The exam also asks for a self-assessment of personal strengths and weaknesses around performing the role of a wellness program coordinator as well as who to recruit in order to help design and implement an employee wellness program.  A completed Challenge Exam is a mandatory requirement for anyone desiring to be certified as a Certified Wellness Program Coordinator (CWPC).

Requirement for WellCert Recertification
In order for each individual who completes any level of certification to maintain an Active certification status on the WellCert Registry, they need to complete a minimum of 2 WellCert online modules of their choosing each 12-month period after completing their training.  If they have not completed the minimum requirement, their status in the WellCert Registry will be designated Inactive rather than Active.  Each online module to be completed has a 10-quesition True-False test and 80% of the questions must be answered correctly in order to receive credit toward recertification.
