YES. We want you to feel good about your course purchase. Therefore, we allow you to take the first 3 modules risk-free. If you are not satisfied after these modules, you can request a full refund by emailing info@pronatalfitness.com and the materials from those modules are yours to keep.

Please note, our Full Course PDF (the electronic textbook of the entire course) is located after module 3. Once you hit this spot in the course where you have access to the entire textbook, we can no longer offer a refund.

Payment plan options are available through Affirm for U.S. credit cards (3, 6, and 12-month options). From Nov 25th – Dec 2nd, we’ll be offering a 0% interest payment plan option, but you must qualify for this through Affirm by following the steps below.

We also offer 3 and 6 month payment plan options for non-U.S. credit cards. For this, please contact info@pronatalfitness.com.

How to Use the Affirm Payment Plan

Payment plans are personalized based on your credit score. Therefore, you will be asked to provide some very brief information to check your credit score. Note, this process is considered a soft credit check. It does NOT impact your credit score.

After adding the item to your cart, click proceed to checkout. Then, in the payment section, select Affirm – pay over time.

After selecting this, you will see all your payment plan options — including your monthly payment, total payment, and any interest (if relevant). From there, you can decide whether to proceed or not.

If you have any questions or challenges, please reach out to us at info@pronatalfitness.com or give us a call at 516-778-9468.

Note, payment plans are not available for membership renewal fees after the first year.

Not at all. Anyone interested in this topic is welcome to take the course.

If you wish to be featured as a ProNatal Certified Coach on the Find a Coach page of the ProNatal Fitness website, see the prerequisites listed below in the next question.

In order to be featured in the heavily-trafficked Find a Coach Page, you must:

1. Be a Member of the ProNatal Certified Network
2. Complete the Specialist Course
3. Hold at least ONE of the following:
   • Current Nationally-Accredited Personal Training Certification
   • Current Nationally-Accredited Comprehensive Pilates Certification
   • Current Registered Yoga Teacher Certification (minimum 200-hr)
   • An Undergraduate or Graduate degree in Exercise Science or a related discipline

Upon meeting all three prerequisites, you will have the option of being featured in the in-person directory, virtual directory, or both. The only requirement to maintain your website feature is to maintain your PCN membership.

To receive your pre & postnatal certification and CECs, you must pass a final exam at the end of the course.

This a 2-hour timed exam that you take at home on your computer or device (no testing center). There are 80 multiple choice questions. You must receive 85% to pass (68 questions correct). You can use any notes you want, but you must complete the exam within the 2-hour time limit.

If you do not pass, you can purchase an exam re-test for $35. But don’t worry, we give you plenty of tips on how to prepare for the exam so you pass on the first try!

And if you do need to retake it, it’s the same test again, so you just need to review the questions you answered incorrectly.

After registering for the course, you will have 1-year access to complete the course. The course is estimated to take about 30 – 35 hours. If needed, you can purchase course access extensions for $35 per month. You will get email reminders to keep you on track, and you will always be able to see how much time you have left when you login to your course.

All written materials (module PDFs, self-check answer sheets, course downloads, and the electronic textbook of entire course) are available for you to download and keep.

If you are a member of the ProNatal Certified Network, you will have lifetime access to the latest course materials. You still need to complete the course and take your exam within 1 year, but after that, you will always be able to access the latest course materials (updated every 1-2 years) in your membership dashboard.

There are NO renewal requirements to maintain your pre & postnatal specialist certification. Once you take the course, you will have your certificate and CEUs.

To maintain your website feature as a ProNatal Certified Coach — along with all the other resources and benefits included in the ProNatal Certified Network — all you need to do is pay the membership fee of $150 per year.

You can join PCN at any point after enrolling in your course. If you bundle your membership with your course purchase, you save $50 on your first year.

We are happy to provide you a course overview sheet that you can submit to your agency. Just reach out to us at info@pronatalfitness.com to request this.

There are NO renewal requirements for the course. Once you complete the course, you will have your pre & postnatal certification and CEUs.

To maintain your ProNatal Certified Network membership benefits (including the website feature), you just need to pay the annual membership fee of $150.

Because we update this course so frequently, we do not include a printed textbook. However, each module contains a downloadable PDF with all the detailed text. In addition, at the beginning of the course there is a Full Course PDF with a table of contents that includes hyperlinks to each module. You can download the entire course as one file, then print it and put it in a binder, separated by tabs for each module if you’d like.

We are happy to answer any questions you have!  Email us at Info@pronatalfitness.com or give us a call at 516-778-9468.
