With all GPNi courses and certifications, you will learn sports nutrition strategies backed by the most up-to-date and cutting-edge science and research. Global experts also create all courses and sports nutrition researchers.
Depending on which course and level certification you choose, you will learn the below areas + a great deal more.

• When you eat may be as important as what you eat for athletic performance.
• Nutrient timing incorporates methodical planning and eating whole foods, fortified foods, and dietary supplements.
• The timing of energy intake and the ratio of certain ingested macronutrients may enhance recovery and tissue repair, augment muscle protein synthesis (MPS), and improve mood states following high-volume or intense exercise.
• The right sports nutrition plan for the right athlete for performance and recovery.
• The GPNi branded “Traffic Light System®” on supplementation (products) has proven to work, backed by science according to the latest ISSN research and later literature.

Upon completing the course and being certified as a Sports Nutritionist, you will be recognized globally as qualified. No other sports nutrition or nutrition certification can offer this level of authority. Though other certifications may have content, none of it is created by the experts that did the science & research on sports nutrition.

To maintain your PNE Level-1 + SNS or PNE Level-2 Masters + CISSN international certification and be considered "active" on the GPNi website, you need to accumulate 10 Continued Education Credits (CECs) Every Two Years. A complete list of all the CEC requirements and what specific activities you can do to achieve these credits are listed in the GPNi CEC Policy Section. 

For those who do not complete the required CEC points every two years, your account will remain open. However, your student Public Profile on the GPNi site will be displayed as "Inactive."

Not everyone can enroll directly in the PNE Level-2 Masters + CISSN course and certification. You must be prequalified with existing experience and qualifications or have completed prior PNE Level-1 + SNS certification. The certification and qualification are too advanced for everyone to sit. Therefore you need a good base understanding prior.

You must have these prior qualifications and email a copy of the degree or certification as proof:

• Dietician
• Nutritionist
• Degree in exercise or sports science
• Or Previously by GPNi with PNE Level-1 + SNS Sports Nutrition Specialist (SNS) within the past two years

If you are not yet qualified, then the “GPNi Masters Pack is for you. This includes PNE Level-1 + SNS to help prepare you for all the foundation and critical understanding of sports nutrition science, together with the world-renowned PNE Level-2 Masters + CISSN.
