Certified Wellness Coach (CWC) and Certified Nutrition Coach (CNC) are certifications, which means you must recertify every two years. NASM's Recertify for Life Program gives you the opportunity to avoid these renewal fees, as well as receive extra benefits. Once you pass your final exam for these specializations, your certificates never expire.

Both the Certified Wellness Coach and the Certified Nutrition Coach certifications are worth 1.9 NASM CEUs, meaning that after completing these courses you would already have more than enough CEUs to recertify!

You have 1 year to complete your NASM-CWC and NASM-CNC final exams. Although the exams expire, you will maintain access to the NASM-CWC and NASM-CNC content for 5 years or the life of the product; whichever expires first. This allows you to go back and reference the rich course content during the beginning of your career.

The final exams for these two products are administered online and can be taken from the comfort of your own home, or wherever you prefer to take tests.

Once you successfully pass both the CWC and CNC exams, digital copies of each certificate will become available to you within 24 hours, but in most cases immediately. Within 4-6 weeks, hard copies of each certificate will be mailed to the address you have on your NASM account.
