Becoming certified with AFPA has completely changed my life! I could never imagine that I would be where I am now when I completed my certification! I feel so lucky to wake up every day with the opportunity to impact others physically and mentally by sharing my passion with them. It truly is a dream come true.”
Emily Hudak, AFPA Holistic Health Coach
AFPA instantly gives you credibility and is super well respected in the industry. Clients know that if you have that certification, that they’re getting credible, reliable information. I also chose AFPA because of the course structure. With the courses, you get to make your own schedule and it’s perfect for anyone who may have another job, is going to school, or has a family.”
Brett Bennett, AFPA Master Nutrition Consultant
The main thing I absolutely loved about this course was that it was completely self-paced, so I was able to do everything on my own schedule in just under 6 months. The other thing that I absolutely loved is that it really covered all aspects of holistic health (known as the 7 dimensions of wellness)—from physical, emotional, cultural, spiritual, occupational, social, and intellectual wellness.”
Dazy Gallegos, AFPA Holistic Nutritionist
I looked at a lot of certifications out there. You name it, I’ve looked at it, but AFPA stood out to me. They’re out-of-the-box thinkers and so am I. The certification process was fairly easy, it was very effective, and fun to learn.”
Andrew Schuth, AFPA Personal Trainer
Becoming certified with AFPA has given me the knowledge and confidence to take my life down a completely new path. It was the catalyst for starting my businesses and beginning a coaching journey. It still amazes me almost every day that my job is to literally help people live a healthier, happier life. In addition, the way my own habits have improved continues to impact my well-being. ”
Stephanie Genco, Certified Health and Wellness Coach
I searched left and right for something that was accredited, affordable, and was really extensive. I found AFPA, which checked all those boxes and then some. I loved that they have been around for [so long]. It was great that the certification was flexible and I could still homeschool my kids while studying.”
Amilia Brady, AFPA Holistic Nutritionist
The reason I chose AFPA is because of the recognition that they have worldwide, designed by experts in their fields, so I felt very comfortable choosing them. The certification has been very beneficial in my career. I’m now able to attract more clients because of the certification behind my name.”
Doron Willis, AFPA Nutrition Professional
The certification program changed everything in my overall life. It changed how I ate, my health, and how I help other people. It also changed my career in the health space. I liked that the information presented had studies and actually showed you the research as it was teaching you things.”
Lauren Rasky, AFPA Holistic Health Coach
What I loved most about getting certified with AFPA is that it really opened the opportunities for my long career, and it gave me direction.”
Tyler Kalisiak, AFPA Sports Nutritionist
Becoming certified with AFPA has impacted my life in many ways. I have learned how to be a better coach for others and myself! I have been able to strengthen many relationships by having an education in health and nutrition and have been able to better my own lifestyle.”
Savanna Strauss, AFPA Holistic Nutritionist and Health and Wellness Coach
The way my life has changed after getting the certification is like a complete 180, honestly. I definitely could not have counseled people the way I do now without AFPA. I was surprised the most when I just realized really how much I was learning. I knew I was going to learn a lot, and that there were so many different curriculum topics, but at the end of it, I learned even so much more than I expected.”
Candace Bell, AFPA Holistic Nutritionist
AFPA feels like more of a family. I can always email or reach out if I have any questions and I get a response immediately. It’s a very caring organization. I’ve been certified with other organizations and that’s not always the case.”

AS SEEN IN THESE GREAT PUBLICATIONS
With over 2000+ 5 star reviews, AFPA continues to produce countless satisfied graduates into successful health, nutrition, and fitness professionals. Here’s what they have to say…
Hands Down Best!
Of the several such programs I explored in detail, AFPA appears to have by far the more advanced and empirically supported material. Also their customer support is unmatched— more responsive than most if not all, and that same level continues after the sale!!
Loved it
This was one of the best courses I’ve taken. I loved the content that was taught and the teachers were great.
Great for parents
I was more so concerned about my flexibility between my job and my toddler. You can pretty much access your course anywhere. Your phone, tablet or computer. Love it, I look forward to taking more.
Great info! Too short!
Great course, fun and scientific way of thinking about nutrients and what to eat. I actually learned a lot! Just wish it was longer and more in-depth. The supplemental study handouts were great in-depth info!
Glad I Enrolled
I'm so glad I finally took the plunge to take this course. I've been researching courses for years and decided on AFPA because I like that they are working to become an approved course for NBHWC. I also like that eligible graduates can become board certified through AADP.
The videos are VERY in-depth and I am able to listen to them while driving. The simulated coaching sessions are extremely helpful and help you learn how to put everything into practice. The handouts and recommended reading has also been valuable. I truly feel that upon completion, I will be able to build a successful health coaching practice. Thanks AFPA!
Better than NASM
This course is way better than NASM. It’s understandable and easier to do. I also love the books this program recommended. I think one of the best parts of this course is it gives you a syllabus and you can always get a hold of them by calling them if you do have a question, but so far no need to do this because of how easy it is to understand.
Smooth Renewal Process
I love the new Certificate Renewal process. Simple, easy, smooth and FAST!
Love it!
Love it! The information will lead to a lot of health for many people.
Yoga instructor
This whole experience has been great. I love yoga and this course has given me more knowledge on it. The fact I can take my time and really let it all sink in has been a great experience. When every I have a question I get a response very quickly.
I am pleased by the quality of the course and materials.
My initial forays by looking at the textbooks and opening materials in this class seem to indicate that the course is of high quality.
Very Helpful & Friendly!
Best decision ever! I love their quick response. Very much so! By far the one of the greatest decisions I have ever made in my life! Thank you to all the Instructors, & the whole staff on leading me to one of my biggest desires & accomplishments.
Thank you ,
Chandell Thompson,
Great class
I am currently studying this course and the materials are in-depth and extremely helpful with illustrations and full descriptions. I know when I finish this course and take the exam that I will be ready to be a nutrition consultant, having full knowledge in all covered areas and will truly be an asset to my clients.
Nutritionist
I'm about to finish my study and very glad that it's a lot of information !
Lifesaver
As a new trainer I have used this book as my training Bible. If you've been a trainer for years and can’t easily adjust your sessions or have a structure on how you plan I would highly recommend this!!
Quick to help
Every time I needed help with anything, they helped me quick. I love AFPA
