HOW LONG IS THE HCG DIET TRAINING?
The training consists of 6 core pre-recorded training modules, each of which are approximately 25 – 60 minutes long (a total of 4.5 hours of training). Multiple choice certification questions follow each module and results are immediate.
There is also a free bonus training available only with the purchase of the Dieter Forms and handouts digital package. This 7th free module training is a very comprehensive module explaining every form and handout and how to use them. It is 1 hour long and because it is pre-recorded, it can be stopped and started and any portion re-watched (just like the other modules).
The 6 core training modules are accessible from 8am-9pm on Saturday of the specific training date and each attendee receives his/her own unique login credentials via email at 8am the morning of the training. If you purchase the Dieter Forms and handouts digital package, you have access to the entire training for 2 full weekend days beginning at 8am Saturday until 9pm on Sunday evening.
ARE THE HCG DIET TRAINING MODULES ACCESSIBLE AT A SPECIFIC TIME?
The training is offered on the weekend several times throughout the year on specified date(s) and is accessible in the time frames in your time zone on the date you register for. For more information, visit the Training Information Page.
IS THERE A TRAINING MANUAL INCLUDED WITH THE TRAINING?
Yes, if you register by the deadline, you will be shipped a color, spiral-bound, hard copy manual in time for the training. If you do not register by the deadline, there is not enough time to receive your manual before the training and you will need to wait until the HCG Diet Training is offered again. Occasionally we can offer you alternate training dates to accommodate training date conflicts. If you are located outside North America, we will make arrangements for a specific training weekend date to accommodate your schedule after you receive your training materials.
HOW DO I FIND OUT THE DETAILS, DATES AND COSTS OF THE NEXT TRAINING?
Training are offered on the weekends throughout the year. The 6 core training modules are available from 8am – 9pm on a specific Saturday. For those who opt for the Dieter Forms and handouts digital package, a 7th FREE Bonus training is provided covering all the forms and handouts in detail and the accessibility to the entire training is extended through 9pm Sunday. This bonus module is designed to watch after successfully completing all the other modules.
The registration deadline is at 5pm EST, 8 days before the training. For more information, visit the Training Information Page. Here you will find 2 web pages of details, as well as the Training Program outline. At the end of the 2nd web page is the link to the inquiry form to request details of costs and dates. After completion and submission of the form, the next page will render more details and you will also receive an email within about 10 minutes or less, with a copy of training details, costs and the training registration form.
WHAT IS THE PROCESS FOR THE HCG DIET TRAINING CERTIFICATION?
The Certification is optional, but highly recommended. The certification questions are multiple choice and follow each module. They help the student learn and retain the information better and are not trick questions. The questions reiterate the most important information from the training module just watched and should help reinforce what should be remembered from the recorded module. The questions are presented at the end of the module and are graded immediately. Missed questions can be answered again and then one can move onto the next module. 90% is needed to pass. For more information, visit the Training Information Page.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO TAKE THE HCG DIET COUNCIL TRAINING?
The HCG Diet Council Training and Certification Program is available around the World to Licensed Healthcare Professionals and their staff, Licensed and/or Certified Nutritionists and/or Dieticians and Personal Fitness Trainers with a working knowledge of health, wellness and supplementation. Since the liability for overseeing dieters lies with the Practitioner, we may refuse training and require a non-licensed applicant to be the employee of a Licensed Healthcare Professional or equivalent. The HCG Diet Council training is not offered to the general public nor someone “wanting to become a weight loss coach”. Even though health situations and recommendations are covered in the “How to Recognize Tough Cases” module, no training on supplements, products nor health conditions are offered by The HCG Diet Council. This is outside the scope of the training.
CAN I RECEIVE EDUCATIONAL CREDITS (CEU’s) FOR THE HCG DIET TRAINING?
The HCG Diet Council is a very affordable training program solely focused on offering valid, standardized information to Health Care Professionals about Dr. Simeons’ work, the HCG Diet and gathering HCG Diet research. We are an educational platform and not a CEU accreditation program.
ARE YOU A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION?
We are an organization of volunteers who are not compensated for their time. The HCG Diet Professional or Corporate Membership is optional and available to Healthcare Professionals at a nominal price and offers a significant discount on the training fee. Membership support is an excellent way to validate to your patients your association with The HCG Diet Council and is greatly appreciated to help cover The Council’s operating costs.
WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED?
We are located in St. Petersburg, Florida and coordinate our efforts through the additional voluntary services of our founder.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN AROUND?
Our founder, Beth Golden, began working with HCG Dieters in her Clinic in St. Petersburg, FL in 2007, after spending the previous 8 years as a Natural Healthcare Professional offering various modalities. After discovering the amazing results of the HCG Diet, she added this service to her medi-spa and subsequently went on to develop a 4 part HCG Diet program which included detoxification before starting the HCG Diet. She employed and taught Drs and Nurse Practitioners her methods to oversee HCG Dieters for better long term results. Beth founded the HCG Diet Council in 2009 and launched the formal training program to Licensed Healthcare Professionals shortly thereafter.
AS A PROFESSIONAL, WHY WOULD I WANT TO BECOME A MEMBER OR TAKE THE HCG DIET TRAINING?
The HCG Diet Council is positioned as a vehicle to provide standardization of information to Licensed Healthcare Professionals about Dr. Simeons’ work and what has transpired to date. Professional or Corporate HCG Diet Council Members support this position and, by participating in the training, are investing in quality education to better understand the HCG Diet and to the betterment of HCG Diet Patients. Training, Membership and Credentials offer the patients of Healthcare Professionals the confidence they are looking for in knowledge and expertise about the HCG Diet. Professionals walk away from the training with the truth about the history of the HCG Diet and a better understanding of what it can and cannot do and the legal liability in making claims outside of these perimeters.

DO YOU “POLICE THE INTERNET” AND THE CLAIMS I SEE WEBSITES MAKING?
We undoubtedly know more about the HCG Diet and see more on the internet than the average individual, but no, “we do not police” or monitor the internet. We offer information on our website and through our trainings as to the information we support in regard to the HCG Diet. Outlandish claims and promises to cure weight problems are not supported whatsoever by The HCG Diet Council and more details are covered in Module 6 – Legal Liability.
WHO CONDUCTS THE HCG DIET COUNCIL TRAINING?
Our educator and founder is Beth Golden, PhD, ND. She has been involved intensely with the HCG Diet since early 2007, has trained with Dr. Daniel Belluscio, MD from Argentina. Dr. Belluscio mentored with Dr. Simeons in the 60s and has personally worked with many patients since then. Beth Golden has worked with many HCG Dieters and Health Care Professionals, as well as various forms of hCG since 2007. She has trained, lectured and given personal advice to 100’s of Health Care Professionals throughout the World how to effectively oversee HCG Dieters.
Through these trainings, Beth’s mission continues to be to help better educate Healthcare Professionals on the details and history of the HCG Diet from the 1950s to date.
