Program Details

Through successful completion of this program, you'll earn your NASM-CNC certification. As a National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) Certified Nutrition Coach, you'll be qualified to coach clients in both fitness and nutrition.

We'll cover the foundational principles of nutrition science, including metabolism, macronutrients, micronutrients, hydration, alcohol, and nutrient timing. You'll discover the process for comprehensive client assessment and body composition testing, and you'll learn how to create customized, evidence-based nutrition programs for your fitness clients.

We'll discuss how culture, age, geographic region, and socioeconomic status influence dietary eating patterns. You'll develop skills to customize your communication and coaching approach to fit your client's profile and explore ways to explain the mechanisms and science behind trending diets.

The final exam in this course is the NASM-CNC certification exam, so there are no additional tests to schedule!
