Recognized as the number one recommended nutrition coaching certification by health, nutrition, and fitness professionals, the L1 Nutrition Certification is designed to provide a deep understanding of nutrition, the authority to coach it, and the ability to turn their knowledge into sustainable client results. As two of the leading organizations dedicated to advancing the standards applied to exercise professionals, training providers, and certification bodies in Europe and the United Kingdom, the approvals reinforce Precision Nutrition’s excellence in continuing education for nutrition science and behavior change in these key markets.
"Receiving approvals from EREPS and CIMSPA is a major milestone for Precision Nutrition’s growth in Europe and the U.K., and is further proof of the quality of education the L1 Nutrition Certification provides," said Timothy Jones, CEO of Precision Nutrition.

As an EREPS Lifelong Learning Provider (LLP), Precision Nutrition will support EREPS members in meeting their ongoing learning and professional career development needs. This also offers a reassurance to fitness professionals across Europe of the quality of their continuing education. Precision Nutrition’s Level 2 (L2) Master Certification—an exclusive year-long nutrition and lifestyle coaching masterclass—has also received the LLP distinction. Both the L1 and L2 Certification will earn the graduate 10 Lifelong Learning Hours, which contributes to the annual commitment recommended for completion by EREPS members.
