NESTA states the Fitness Nutrition Coach credential is a lifetime certificate: "Invest Once, Benefit for Life: Your certificate does not expire" and includes lifetime access to training. No CEU or renewal cycle is stated for FNC. (Separately, NESTA's PFT certification — a different credential — requires 4.0 CEUs every 4 years with a $149 recertification fee; those rules are not stated to apply to FNC.)
