The INCCP Online is perfect for adult learners!

• Autonomy– Modules are assigned on a weekly basis providing flexibility and sense of control and self-direction.
• Goal-Oriented– Dedicated Nurse Coach Experts supervise and support nurses to reach the goals they have envisioned.
• Practical– Knowledge and experiences are focused on the growth of the nurse in new directions that can be applied to your current nursing practice or expanded into new career opportunities.
• Competence and Mastery– We believe practice makes perfect. Opportunities to work with course colleagues on skill development and Nurse Coach Expert Faculty to oversee your mastery accomplishments to ensure a transformational experience.

We hear you! The program is completed at your own pace at times that work best for you. When the program begins, we will split participants into small groups of 8-10 people (largely based off of time zone), with a dedicated and experienced board-certified Nurse Coach faculty supervisor. Every other week, your small group will meet online via web conference/live sessions at a time that works best for as many people in the group as possible (i.e., you all vote on a time that works best!). While attendance at these live sessions is required, they will also be recorded. If there is an extreme circumstance and you can’t make it, just let your supervisor know and they will give you and alternate assignment.

The online program format provides a variety of learning strategies to meet a learners needs. Video lectures and Role Play Demonstrations by Nurse Coach Experts and the leaders in the field of Nurse Coaching provides superior quality of knowledge and example sharing. Online Discussion Groups and Web Conferencing sessions establishes a community of learning, support, and interaction that deepens your long term connection to each other and your mentors. Current Resources are shared such as research articles and textbook readings. Written Transcripts and Quizzes will validate your growth. Peer to Peer Coaching Practice and real Client Coaching leads to mastery of skills.
