Is Getting Certified On The GPNi® Portal Worth It?

Thousands Certified Globally.  What Do The Previous Students Say?

The importance of nutrition in performance is well-known, yet the vast majority of certifications will either barely scratch the surface or offer a “Nutrition 101” version of the information. The SNS certification on the GPNi portal is different – the depth of the knowledge you’ll learn on this course goes above and beyond.  It will set you apart as a fitness professional.” ”

Holly Priestland – United Kingdom 

“I am so happy I signed up for the SNS certification. I learned a great deal more about sports nutrition than I had originally imagined.  To grow your career in fitness, where nutrition is often 80% of results, understanding and being certified is key.  Being certified by the global authority is also key.”

Emanuele Mediati – Italy

“I am a health and fitness enthusiast and already am a nutrition coach, however, I wanted specifically to learn about sports nutrition and learn from the top-level experts and researchers in the game. 

Icee Guinto – USA 

“I am passionate about learning nutrition, specifically want to learn more about performance nutrition.  I wanted to learn online as I am busy, also to be internationally certified, is the reason I chose to be certified on the GPNi portal.

“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 the new knowledge I gained also the course flow with the blend of on-demand content together with “live” online Zoom tutorials and class group. For those in the fitness industry, I highly recommended getting ISSN certified on the GPNi® portal and upgrading your knowledge and career at the same time.”

From Lenka Suta, SNS Graduate of SNS certification in 2021.

“I’m actually doing the course for a second time right now because I know that the course has about 40% of new information in it compared to a few years ago when I last did the course.

One of my biggest frustrations in the industry in the past has been courses where the knowledge is already outdated based on the current science, but they’re very slow to update the course content.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 that you have with the ISSN and the GPNi.”

Testimonial by SNS student, Holly Priestland from the UK

“I graduated from University Kebangsaan Malaysia and possess a bachelor’s degree in nutrition with honors. Ever since I learned about nutrition, my interest is inclined towards sports and performance nutrition. So that is why I chose to join this class.”

Testimonial by SNS student, Amir Shahimi, a certified nutritionist cum coach.

“In the last few days, my clients have been asking me for guidance and tips about nutrition, how to pair their workouts with their meal plan.

So I decided to attend this nutrition certification and I have to say that I learn a lot, and finally, I can give the right answers to all my clients.”
