Payment plan options are available through Affirm for U.S. credit cards. 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. You’ll be able to see your monthly payments and total payment (including interest if any). Then you can decide whether you want to proceed, and if so, which payment option.
If you are unable to use Affirm, we can set you up with a payment plan through ProNatal. For more details on this option, please email info@pronatalfitness.com or give us a call at 516-778-9468.
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.
Not at all. Anyone interested in this topic is welcome to take the course. That said, we highly recommend getting a foundational fitness certification first (such as a Personal Training, Group Fitness, Comprehensive Pilates, or Yoga) if you plan to coach or train this population.
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.
Yes! This course is approved for the following CECs:
Don’t see your organization listed? You can easily petition for CECs from your organization.

There are NO renewal requirements to maintain your pre & postnatal specialist certification. Once you take the course, you will have your certificate and CEUs.
The featured endorsement on our heavily-trafficked Find a Coach page is available to members of the ProNatal Certified Network (PCN), which you will have the option to join after completing your course.
In addition to being a PCN member, you must also hold AT LEAST ONE of the following to be featured:
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.
The ProNatal Certified Network is an optional benefit available to course graduates that provides you with ongoing support, education, and marketing promotion to help you thrive as a pre & postnatal coach. The membership is $15 per month or $150 per year (17% savings), but if you enroll within the first two weeks after completing your course, you can get your first year for as little as $12 per month.
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.
