Lifestyle Coach Training
These videos are for coaches who have already attended Lifestyle Coach Training and would like more training to effectively deliver the National DPP. The videos are supported by funding from the VA Department of Health & the VA Diabetes Council.
What is a Lifestyle Coach?
To become a provider of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National Diabetes Prevention Program (National DPP) organizations must have lifestyle coaches who are trained to use a CDC-approved curriculum and who have the knowledge and skills to effectively deliver the yearlong program.

Additionally, there are videos, homework assignments, and readings that must be completed each week. Both the in-person and online trainings provide 12 hours of training, which is a CDC requirement.
