ExploreAbout this exam
The Precision Nutrition Level 2 Certification is described by its provider as an exclusive yearlong nutrition and lifestyle coaching master class, aimed at professionals with a deep commitment to excellence who want advanced education plus hands-on practice. Each student is mentored one-on-one by a Precision Nutrition Master Coach across 12 months of immersive study and practice. The curriculum combines daily habits and lessons with real-world, real-client problem solving built on a behavior-change coaching method the company says it has used with over 150,000 clients. Enrollment opens twice a year, in April and October, and Level 1 graduates can join a presale list up to six months ahead. Presale registrants may pay $2,625 once or $262.50 per month for 12 months; those not on the presale list pay $349 per month for 12 months. Graduates can claim continuing education credit with several organizations, including ACE (2.0 CECs), ACSM (20 CECs), CDR (16 CPEUs), CPTN (14 CECs), NASM (1.9 CEUs), and PTA Global (24 CECs). Preparation means engaging fully with the mentorship: practicing coaching conversations, applying each lesson to a real client, and reflecting on feedback rather than memorizing facts.
What you'll study
About PN Level 2 preparation
What is the format of the Level 2 Certification?
The provider describes it as a 12-month program of immersive study and practice, delivered through daily habits and lessons plus real-world, real-client problem solving. Each student is paired with a Precision Nutrition Master Coach for one-on-one mentoring throughout. The source does not specify exam delivery format, proctoring, or question counts, so confirm those details directly with the provider.
How much does it cost?
Presale registrants can choose a one-time payment of $2,625 or $262.50 per month for 12 months. Professionals not on the presale list pay $349 per month for 12 months. Presale access offers up to a 37% savings off the general price. Prices come from the provider's fact sheet; confirm current pricing before enrolling.
When can I enroll?
Start opportunities are available twice a year, in April and October. Level 1 graduates can join the presale list up to six months in advance, which is how the discounted pricing is accessed. If you miss a window, plan for the next one rather than assuming rolling admission.
How should I prepare for the assessment?
Treat it as a coaching practicum, not a trivia test. Work through the daily lessons in sequence, apply each behavior-change concept to a real client conversation, and bring those cases to your Master Coach mentor. Candidates who struggle often memorize models without practicing them; the program's stated value is hands-on problem solving with real clients.
What topics does the program emphasize?
The provider frames the curriculum around a science-proven behavior-change coaching method, daily habits and lessons, and real-client problem solving. The stated goal is building elite-level coaching skills that produce client results, strengthen credibility, and support business profitability. Detailed assessment blueprints are not published in the source, so ask the provider for specifics.
Are there continuing education credits?
Yes. Graduates can earn ACE (2.0 CECs), ACSM (20 CECs), CDR (16 CPEUs), CPTN (14 CECs), NASM (1.9 CEUs), and PTA Global (24 CECs). A CEU or CEC is defined as a unit equal to ten hours of participation in an accredited program for licensed or certified professionals. Other organizations may accept it case by case with a course summary and certificate.
What are common failure modes?
The source does not publish pass rates or failure data. Based on the program's design, the likely pitfalls are skipping the daily habit work, treating mentorship as optional, and telling clients what to do instead of guiding them to their own decisions. One featured graduate stresses that clients need ownership of decisions, not instructions.
Is it worth it compared with Level 1?
The provider says its internal research suggests the average Level 2 coach gets and retains 10 times more clients than the average Level 1 coach, and that nearly 2,500 professionals have enrolled to date. Those are provider claims, not independent findings. Consider your client volume, coaching experience, and budget before committing to the higher price.
