I absolutely love WELCOA certification courses! They are very informative, timely and provide useful subject matter. The additional resources are great tools to have on hand.
Nicole Consiglio | Workforce Health Consultant
Seven years ago, when I had no idea what corporate wellness was, I tapped into all of the WELCOA resources, trainings, hundreds of webinar hours, case studies to learn as much as I possibly could. Through WELCOA, I learned from the great minds in wellness. Thank you for all you have done.
