When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

What will I get if I purchase the Certificate?

When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

Is financial aid available?

Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.

Module details

As a Coursera learner enrolled in NASM’s Nutrition Essentials you will access the course content through NASM's online learning platform (link below). You will be prompted to create a new account. Once your account is created, each time you return to access the online platform it will remember you. In addition to the NASM course content, there will be a discussion question and practice exam within the Coursera platform. Upon completion of the final exam, you will earn a Coursera certificate. PLEASE NOTE: The Coursera certificate is not valid as an official NASM- Certified Nutrition Coach (NASM-CNC). To earn the NASM-CNC Certification, you will need to purchase and pass the NASM-CNC online exam. Instructions for this step can be found in the Foreward reading and the reading included in the Final Exam.
