With The ISSN-SNS Certification
The Performance Nutrition Expert (PNE) Level with the ISSN-SNS is a mid to high-level sports nutrition certification and course. Depending on the level of your prior knowledge and experience, you will find the content extremely thorough and be able to boost your knowledge.
It's excellent as a stronger foundation for those already with some knowledge in nutrition. It may seem quite advanced for those new to nutrition for those with little knowledge.
