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. You can learn more about this policy by contacting us.
In some regions, with our exclusive region partners, you can apply for local insurance or government authorized liability insurance. Please get in contact with our local official partners directly or contacting us for more information.
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."
Although no formal postsecondary course work is required, candidates are expected to have a working knowledge of basic exercise training, general nutrition, sports supplements, and are familiar with the ISSN's current Position Papers.
The SNS Certification, together with the Performance Nutrition Expert (PNE) is a mid-level sports nutrition certification. Depending on the level of a person's prior knowledge and experience, all will find the content extremely thorough and boost your knowledge.
For those at an early or moderate stage in your sports nutrition or coaching career, this is an ideal foundation course, to begin with, but will give you a mid to high-level firm foundation at the same time.
For those looking to take their career to the highest level, begin with the GPNi® SNS and work towards the CISSN over time to be recognized amongst your peers to be at the top of your game. Start at growing your career with the GPNi® and continue to ascend one step at a time!
