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:
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.
For those looking to save money on tuition and upgrade to the highest level of sports nutrition qualification and certification but need to lay a foundation first, the GPNi Masters Pack is for you.
The CISSN stands for Certified Sports Nutritionists. The acronym, CISSN is recognized by many academics and is for those really wishing to be recognized globally to be at the top in your field. This certification is for high-level coaches, nutritionists, and dieticians that wish to have a laser focus on the most up-to-date research-backed studies.
Students looking to study for the CISSN would ideally have 5 years prior experience and be SNS Level-1 qualified or another relevant tertiary degree. The certification is for those that wish to work with the amateur and/or professional athlete population. With course content elements of the course ranging from professional weight cutting to banned in sports regulations and ensuring your athlete remains healthy and safe.
This certification is recognized as top-level in sports nutrition certifications globally. The GPNi® is the official partner and has the exclusive online course for the CISSN with "live" classes to work with some of the top experts in the world.
The CISSN certification by the GPNi® is available now in English, Chinese, and other languages launching soon.
The CISSN, by the GPNi®, is far more advanced and is the preferred certification for those who wish to provide more detailed sports nutrition information to their clients and professional athletes. SNS is a critical foundation course for those at an earlier stage in their career, or who need a foundation to begin in performance nutrition.
The SNS focuses more on the applied aspects of sports nutrition and is meant for those who do not have a strong foundation in place and need to learn the fundamentals first.
Through the GPNi®, SNS is a prerequisite in being able to apply for CISSN Masters also. Only those that have completed the SNS Certification program, or have a relevant degree in nutrition can apply for the CISSN.
For those that wish to do the CISSN, that are not yet qualified, you can learn about the "Masters Pack," which includes both the SNS and CISSN together. The GPNi® Masters Pack helps fast-track you with your career and qualifications, also has some moderate discounts for the pack as well for both.
Each region, country, and even state within your country has a different regulation in regards to what you can and cannot do as a Sports Nutrition Coach. This will be 100% up to you to work within your own region's regulations and ensure you are complimented by them. Some are very strict, and some have very few regulations at all.
The GPNi® international certifications by the ISSN, and the GPNi® Continued Education certificate programs are informational purposes and your client's medical history should always be checked by a qualified medical Doctor. You are not qualified to prescribe medication or advise outside the scope of practice and you are not qualified to be a Dietician or Masters of Nutrition with a degree either.
