Once you receive your course textbooks and materials, you’ll find all the forms, questionnaires, and assessment tools we use at PN. They’re yours to use with your clients.
Here’s what your home page will look like, complete with lessons, videos, and exams for each chapter. Notice that you can access everything from whichever device you prefer.
Step 1: Watch the chapter video, read the chapter text, and answer the study guide questions.
Step 2: Practice and play with what you’ve learned with real-world case studies, taken from our original client data.
Step 3: Take the short end-of-chapter exam at your convenience.
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.
Most of our students pass on the first try. But just in case you don’t, you’ll still have 5 more tries at the exam. And of course, we’re here to help you along the way if you need it.
Once you’re certified, you can provide your business and contact information to be listed on our site. That way local people interested in PN-approved help can easily find you.

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
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
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. |

| 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. |
