A deep understanding of nutrition, the authority to coach it, and the ability to turn what you know into results.
The PN Level 1 Certification will teach you all that, including the methodology we’ve tested, refined, and proven with over 100,000 coaching clients.

“John Berardi is one of the top sports nutrition experts in the world. He concentrates on simple solutions that actually work. That's why he's a key part of our high-performance team.”

“I have known JB for almost two decades. He has been – and continues to be – my ‘go-to guy’ for all things nutrition and change psychology; he has what all great teachers have: an ability to take complicated constructs, and communicate them in a way that makes sense to simple people like me.”
PERFORMANCE DIRECTOR / SPRINT COACH“Thanks, John, for making me bigger and stronger. You are the best thing that I've added to my training regimen."

The Precision Nutrition Level 1 Certification is trusted
by elite health and fitness professionals worldwide.
The Level 1 Certification allows you to immediately affect positive changes in the lives of your clients. One of the things I absolutely love is the focus on the big things first — the behavioral modifications, and the quick fixes that can yield dramatically improved results.
Eric Cressey, MA, CSCS
What really makes a great coach, and what I think works so well in the PN Level 1 program — it’s not about telling someone to do something. It’s about knowing what questions to ask, and then leading the person in the right direction.
Jonathan Goodman, founder of the Personal Trainer Development Center
The Level 1 program gives you the skills and tools that you need to actually go out and do it. So it’s not just academic information. It gives you everything you need to be a successful coach.
Marie-Josee Perrier, PhD
I think the coolest thing about the program is the promotion of behavior change. If I can teach my patients how to change, I can make a world of difference without having to pull out my prescription pad. In the end, when people tell me they want to teach other people how to live healthier lifestyles, I tell them the Precision Nutrition Level 1 Certification is the way to go.
Spencer Nadolsky, DO, Bariatric Medicine
As I was going through the course I realized it was perfect; it’s exactly what I wanted and needed to learn. The information it taught me vs. the 4th year nutrition course I took as a Kinesiology student...it was like comparing apples to oranges. The nutrition course was good. But the Precision Nutrition Certification was that much better.
Adam Lloyd, CSCS
We have tried every nutrition program out there. Precision Nutrition is by far the most thorough, informative, effective system we have seen. Not only is our entire team PN-certified, we recommend it to every gym we consult with.
Alwyn and Rachel Cosgrove
This certification is not only incredibly thorough, it also mixes practicality and reality into the program. The Precision Nutrition team is as interested in science as they are behavioral modification. And that's the true way to get results.
Martin Rooney
Not only will you come away from the certification with a tremendous amount of knowledge about nutrition — you will also gain valuable skills on how to assess and help each client you work with.
Kristin Schell
The Precision Nutrition Certification stands head and shoulders above all other nutrition programs because of its focus on actionable items for fitness professionals. There is simply no other course available that teaches you the art and science of coaching for every situation.
Devendra Chengkalath
From the average Joe to the professional athlete, Precision Nutrition is the system coaches, trainers and nutritionists need to add to their toolbox for optimal success. I highly recommend this certification for anyone who wants to make a lasting difference in their athletes’ performance and health.
Adam Feit
The Precision Nutrition Certification helped me to combine the science of coaching with a sustainable method of implementing that science, making me a more capable professional.
Ron Dykstra
The Precision Nutrition Certification gave me the confidence of knowing I'm following a proven method that's brought success to thousands of clients. And it shows! My own success has increased since applying what I learned.
Carolina Belmares
The Precision Nutrition Certification has added more value to my business by allowing me to use nutrition coaching with a whole range of clients. That's just one of the reasons I highly recommend the program.
Alicia Bell
Every year we recognize clients who do the best in our coaching program. Here are a few of them, along with their results, and what you can expect by applying the PN Method.
Precision Nutrition is the only nutrition certification company in the world that successfully coaches real clients every single day.
What does that mean? The Precision Nutrition Level 1 Certification is NOT full of abstract theory that doesn’t work in the real world.
Instead, it’s deep knowledge that’s client-tested, scientifically proven, and constantly updated based on the data we’ve collected working with over 100,000 clients.
Clients like these…
The general public price of the Precision Nutrition Level 1 Certification is $119 USD per month for 12 months.
But when you join the free presale list today, you’ll get the opportunity to get it for only $99 USD per month or a one time payment of $999 USD–up to 30% savings.
That means you can boost your nutrition coaching skills, advance your career, and change lives, all for around $3 a day… the price of a takeout coffee, and a tiny fraction of the cost of going back to school.
Important note: Spots in the PN Certification are limited and have historically sold out in hours, so joining the presale list gives you the best chance at getting in.
We won’t pretend to have the perfect advice for every situation, but we do have some thoughts on this topic…
If you decided to go back to school for a nutrition degree or to become a registered dietitian, you’d likely spend anywhere from $10,000 – $20,000 USD per year. If you did a four-year degree, you’d be looking at spending upward of $40,000 – $100,000 USD.
The only problem? Most university courses lack real-world coaching opportunities. And most professors aren’t experienced coaches. That’s why many students find that they’re stuck once they graduate.
It’s also why, in the Precision Nutrition Level 1 Certification, we’ll share a proven coaching system that’s guaranteed to get results for anyone who comes to you for help—at a tiny fraction of the cost of attending a university.
Here’s a quick comparison…
| $40,000 – $100,000 USD University |
$999 USD PN Level 1 Certification |
|---|---|
| 4 years of undergrad, plus 4 years of part-time grad school. |
Study at your own pace—program is entirely self-paced, so there’s no deadline. You can take as much time or as little time as you like. |
| Additional costs for textbooks, housing, student fees, etc. | All course materials included, free shipping. Get all your certification materials shipped directly to your door, at no cost, no matter where you live. |
| Learning in an academic format that might not work for you. | Learning as easy as reading your textbook and watching a video, with short end-of-chapter quizzes to test your knowledge. |
| Often has to be done on site. | Delivered entirely online—study whenever you want, wherever you are. Take the online exams when you’re ready. |
| Might not be able to apply most of the material to your coaching practice. | All material can be immediately applied to your coaching. |
In the end, only you can determine the best education path for you. After coaching over 100,000 clients, we know what works. We’ve created a bulletproof system. And now it’s ready for you to use with your clients.
