Turn your passion for nutrition into a successful career or side business—no experience needed!

New chapters, new tools, new ways to learn. Here’s what we’ve added:

A dedicated GLP-1 coaching chapter
1 in 8 American adults is now on a GLP-1 like Ozempic or Wegovy, and most coaches have no framework for them. This new chapter gives you the science and the coaching playbook to guide them with confidence.

Audio learning
Every chapter now comes with audio narration plus a podcast-style discussion of the material. Study on your commute, listen at the gym, or reinforce concepts on a Sunday walk.

The PN Coaching Tutor
Your personal study partner, built into the curriculum and trained only on PN content. Ask questions, practice client conversations before they happen, and quiz yourself before exams. Available 24/7, in any language.

The PN Nutrition Certification is three comprehensive units, including reading, video, case studies and study guide questions. In addition, you’ll have access to over 40 coaching tools and resources to use with your clients.

Unit 1 teaches you the unique and proven Precision Nutrition approach to coaching. Unit 2 teaches you the science of nutrition in a fun, easy-to-understand format. And Unit 3 gives you a step-by-step process to apply everything you’ve learned, from coaching to business strategies, so you can start getting immediate results.

See the “What you’ll learn” section (above) for a breakdown of each unit and chapter.

This program is for anyone from people thinking of coaching for the first time, to health and fitness professionals and enthusiasts. In other words: Anyone who wants to feel confident coaching nutrition and helping people get life-changing results.

Whether you’re considering a career change, looking for meaningful income, or just getting started in health and wellness, this certification gives you everything you need to feel confident and qualified from day one.

You don’t need a background in nutrition to succeed. We’ve worked with over 175,000 students who started exactly where you are now—teachers, accountants, stay-at-home parents, corporate professionals, students, retirees—with a passion for helping people but uncertain about where to start.

By the time you graduate, you’ll have the knowledge, systems, and tools to help anyone eat, feel, and live better, plus the confidence to know you’re making a real difference while earning a great living.

Already mid-career in health and fitness? This certification will help you expand your services, increase your income, and get dramatically better results with every client.

The PN Nutrition Certification is entirely on your schedule, so there’s no deadline. You can take as much time or as little time as you like.

If you’d like some guidelines, however, the pace that seems to work best for most of our students is completing one chapter per week. That means reading the chapter, reviewing the online video, answering the workbook questions, reviewing the FAQ, and writing the 10-question exam.

If you follow that structure, you can expect to spend 3-5 hours per week on the certification materials. Since there are 21 total chapters, you’d earn your PN1 credentials in about four and a half months. Although you can move more quickly or slowly depending on your situation.

But here’s the best part: You don’t need to wait to get certified in order to feel confident and qualified to coach nutrition. Since you’ll be learning and practicing from day one, you’ll be in a perfect position to start helping your clients immediately.

There are 21 short exams with 10 questions each. Questions are either multiple choice or true or false.

The exams are delivered online; they can be accessed whenever you’re ready. Also, each exam corresponds with the chapter you just studied, and completing the exam unlocks the next chapter.

For instance, if you read through Chapter 1, watch the corresponding video lesson, attend the live chapter discussion (or watch the recording), answer your workbook questions, and review the FAQ, you’ll be ready to take the Chapter 1 exam. Once the Chapter 1 exam is completed, you’ll instantly see your results and get access to the Chapter 2 materials.

At least 75%, which most students easily achieve or surpass.

By the end of the course, you’ll have written 20 short, 10-question exams, for a total of 200 questions. Get at least 150 of the questions correct (75%) to earn your PN1 credentials. We’ll send your official certificate immediately after you pass.

You can’t fail a specific exam. Your score for the course is cumulative. So you could do very poorly on a few exams and still pass the course as long you answer 150 out of the 200 questions correctly by the end of it.
