Whilst some certifications may label themselves as “sports nutrition”, most of the time they are simply general nutrition courses with a few small details about amino acids thrown in. All the GPNi® courses cover the foundational understanding and fundamentals of nutrition, but at the same time goes very deep on all aspects of athletics and the latest research-backed sports nutrition and diet strategies that other courses do not even surface-level begin to examine.

"One of my biggest frustrations in the industry in the past has been courses where the knowledge is already outdated based on the current science, but they're very slow to update the course content. That isn't a problem with the PNE Level-1 + SNS certification and the GPNi. It is the world's most up-to-date and cutting-edge science-backed sports nutrition certification." - Holly Priestland (UK), PNE Level-1 + SNS, Graduate Year, 2021

“I was looking for the perfect course that combined theoretical knowledge and practical experience in sports nutrition for many years. I was greatly impressed with what I learned and gained with the blend of on-demand content together and “live” online Zoom tutorials and class groups. For those in the fitness industry, I highly recommend getting the PNE Level-1 + SNS certified on the GPNi portal and upgrading your knowledge and career simultaneously.” - Lenka Suta (Slovakia), PNE Level-1 + SNS, Graduate Year, 2021.
