Our Plant-Based Nutrition Certificate is not a license, registration, or certification. Certification requires passing an exam and awards a credential upon successful completion of an exam. Certification also requires recertification to stay current in a specific area.

However, this certificate program does reflect your rigorous study of the evidence supporting a whole food, plant-based lifestyle. In addition, it does offer 30 hours of continuing education credits that can be applied toward the maintenance of several professional licenses and certifications.
