Deadline rule

Renewal required every two years from the date of program completion; renewal process must be completed before the credential expires to maintain PN Certified Master Health Coach status.

PN Level 2 FAQ states the credential requires renewal every two years to keep coaches current with research, methods, and best practices. Evidence gives no CEU quantity, unit system, ethics/CPR requirement, or renewal fee for the PN2-MHC renewal process. Separately, PN states its Level 2 program 'qualifies for continuing education credits with organizations worldwide,' but the specific organization list/credit values shown in the evidence (ACE 6.0 CECs, ACSM 4, AFAA 15, CIMSPA 10, CDR 16, CPTN 14, EREPS 10, ISSA 20, NASM 1.9, NSCA 2.0, NBHWC 15) is stated for the PN Level 1 curriculum, not Level 2.
