FitPro Education

When you enroll, you will see that you have two purchase options. You can purchase the course only OR you can select the ProNatal Certified Package, which gives you immediate access to the course plus all ProNatal Certified resources mentioned above. This option also makes you eligible to earn the ProNatal Certified Coach title, badge, and Find a Coach feature – upon meeting the two additional criteria below.

This includes passing the final exam at the end of the course. See FAQs for exam details.

The final requirement to receive your ProNatal Certified Coach designation is that you must also hold at least ONE of the following:

1. Current Nationally-Accredited Personal Training Certification
2. Current Nationally-Accredited Comprehensive Pilates Certification
3. Current Registered Yoga Teacher Certification (minimum 200-hr)
4. An Undergraduate or Graduate degree in Exercise Science or a related discipline

You will be asked to show proof of any certifications you hold when submitting your materials for your website feature.

Don’t have one of these? You can still select the ProNatal Certified Package when enrolling in your course and receive all the other benefits included in this package. The only thing you would not be eligible for is the ProNatal Certified title, badge, and website feature.

There are NO prerequisites for taking the Pre/Postnatal Performance Training Specialist Course. Anyone interested in a highly comprehensive and updated approach to pre and postnatal education will benefit from the information in this course – personal trainers, physical therapists, doulas, medical professionals, etc. Upon completion of the course, you will receive CECs and your certificate as a Pre/Postnatal Performance Training Specialist.

If you would like to earn the additional title of ProNatal Certified Coach, you must meet the additional ProNatal Certified Requirements.

To receive your Certificate 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.

Upon successful completion of the course, you will earn the title (and your certificate) as a Pre/Postnatal Performance Training Specialist. Everyone who passes the exam receives this title (there are no prerequisite requirements other than passing). You will also receive your CEUs: ACE 3.6, NASM 1.9, AFAA 15, ACSM 28, ISSA 20, CANFITPRO 4.

If you would like to earn the additional title of being a ProNatal Certified Coach, you must meet the additional requirements noted in the next question.

To earn this title (and the seal and featured placement in our “Find a Coach” directory), you must:

1. Select the ProNatal Certified Option when checking out. This option also gives you immediate access to the additional resources and support included for ProNatal Certified Coaches.
2. Pass the exam at the end of the course. See exam details above.
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

You will be asked to show proof of your certification when submitting your profile to be featured on our Find a Coach directory after completing the course.

Even if you do not hold the necessary certification, you can still select the ProNatal Certified course option and benefit from ALL the other additional resources and support.

If you have any questions at all about your eligibility, please contact us at info@pronatalfitness.com.

That’s fine! You can still enroll in the ProNatal Certified Package at checkout and receive ALL the resources and benefits included with that (private support community, exercise library, workout builder, exclusive monthly webinars, video resource library, access to all the updated course materials, and additional discounts and perks). The only benefit you would not be eligible for is the website feature and ProNatal Certified seal. However, if you end up getting one of the required certifications at any point, then we will be happy to award you the title and feature you then.

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, but some people complete it in less time. 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 (and a summary of updates made) in your membership dashboard.

There are NO renewal requirements to maintain your title as a Pre/Postnatal Performance Training Specialist. Once you take the course, you will have your certificate and CEUs.

To maintain your title as a ProNatal Certified Coach, all you need to do is pay the membership fee of $150 per year. The first payment is due 1 year after your course enrollment. This fee not only enables you to maintain your title, badge, and Find a Coach Feature, but it also allows you continued access to all the additional resources, including the private support community, video exercise library, workout builder, exclusive monthly webinars, video resource library, access to all the updated course materials, and additional discounts and perks.

Absolutely! Typically, the process is that you reach out to your certifying agency and ask them for a CEC petition form for you to complete. If you need any additional information about the course, you can submit this Course Overview your agency. We are also happy to provide your reviewer course access, or any other materials requested. Please reach out to us at info@pronatalfitness.com for any of this information.

This course is approved for the following CECs already:

• ACE 3.6
• NASM 1.9
• ACSM 28
• AFAA 15
• ISSA 20
• CANFITPRO 4

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 offer 3, 6, and 12 month payment plans for U.S. credit cards via Affirm. Please see details below on how it works.  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.

When you get to the payment section in the purchase process, select to “pay over time with Affirm” (as shown below) instead of entering any credit card information. Click “Sign up now.”

Once you click the “sign up now” button, a box (shown below) will pop-up prompting you to begin entering the necessary information to check your credit.

Enter this information, and you will see your payment plan options laid out, like below. Your monthly payments and total payment will be listed for each option with interest broken out so you can see exactly how much interest is included. Interest rates are based on your credit score and you will have the option to move forward or not.

Select the option you’d like, and click continue. It will show you the amount due today and it will also give you the dates and amounts of the next payments. You will have the option to enroll in autopay if you’d like. The entire process takes less than 5 minutes. 

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.

YES! You can take the first 3 modules of the course completely risk-free. If, at any point during the first 3 modules, you are not satisfied with the course, you can contact us at info@pronatalfitness.com to request a full refund — and the materials from the first three modules are yours to keep.

We offer full refunds within the first 3 modules of the course (for the course-only or the course + ProNatal Certified package). This means that you can take the first three modules risk-free. If you are not satisfied, you can request a full refund (for the course and PROnatal Certified Network membership, if you enrolled).

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.

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