I took the Plant-Based Nutrition Certification (PBNC) sample course in order to confirm my interest in the full PBNC course, and it certainly did! As anticipated, I went on to the full PBNC course and enjoyed it very much. It reaffirmed what I already thought I knew, and added much more. The presenters are virtually all great, and the information presented is on track and relevant. The course is significant in terms of commitment and workload, but not overly onerous, and I found it extremely worthwhile!

When I was told about the PBNC course, I looked into the site and noticed that there was a sample course. Since I was not very familiar with online courses, I decided to do the sample course. The information was easy to understand and navigating the modules was pretty simple enough. After I completed the sample course, I registered to do the PBNC course.

I took the Plant-Based Nutrition Sample Course in March of 2025. I was interested in enrolling in the Plant-Based Nutrition Certificate program and the Sample Course seemed like a risk-free way to test-drive the online format and preview course content. I found the online format to be very user-friendly and the content to be high-quality and compelling. The Sample Course gave me the confidence I needed to proceed with the certificate program, which is what I did.

This risk-free sample course is exactly what it sounds like: an opportunity to try out the certificate program for free to see how you like it. It is not a substitute for the certificate program—it covers only a few topics and does not provide the same level of context or detail you can expect from the whole package—but it gives you the flavor of the content and reflects the quality you can expect, should you eventually decide to register. If you are unsure whether the certificate is right for you, or you want a stepping stone to prepare yourself, look no further!
