Why GHBCI?

Our Mission is to foster body composition expertise, training, and certification in body composition in health-related professions. 

The Global Health and Body Composition Institute (GHBCI) is the “go-to” place for non-biased, education on body composition assessment. Since there are a variety of methods for assessing body composition, our on-line education focuses on describing the advantages, error rates, and limitations of several different methods. This enhances your professionalism by using the most appropriate method for your client, increasing the accuracy and consistency of your measurements, and being able to clearly communicate results and differences to them. So whether you are looking to get certified, or obtaining CEU’s to maintain your certification, our education will help hone your skills and set you apart as a professional.
