TrainingPeaks Level 1 Accreditation is a program designed to help you become a more effective coach and grow your coaching business. It demonstrates that you have a strong working knowledge of TrainingPeaks Coach Edition, along with foundational skills in exercise science, sport psychology, and coaching business practices — even the metrics and features you may not be using yet, so you're ready to leverage them as your coaching evolves. With Level 1 Accreditation, you'll receive a Level 1 Accredited badge on your public coach profile, plus usable images for your website and emails. You'll also appear higher in TrainingPeaks Coach Search results, gain access to exclusive discounts on continuing education and coaching partners, and get access to coaching tips and business acumen resources. This learning journey includes everything you need to become Level 1 Accredited in one purchase: the required TrainingPeaks Essentials course, all other required coursework, and the accreditation application fee. There's nothing else to buy separately — complete the courses, apply, and you're on your way to being an Accredited Coach. Level 1 Accreditation is valid for one calendar year and must be renewed annually.

TrainingPeaks Accreditation recognizes coaches who've built strong expertise in TrainingPeaks Coach Edition, exercise science, sport psychology, and coaching business practices. This learning journey takes you through both Level 1 and Level 2 in one path, so you can build your credentials from the ground up without purchasing each level separately. Level 1 lays the foundation, giving you a working knowledge of TrainingPeaks Coach Edition along with foundational skills in exercise science, sport psychology, and business practices. Level 2 builds on that with additional coursework in business and exercise science for endurance coaches, signaling that you're among the most qualified coaches on the platform. Along the way, you'll earn Accredited badges for your coach profile, appear higher in Coach Search results, and unlock exclusive partner and continuing education discounts. Level 2 also opens the door to the Coach Match Program after three months of being Level 2 Accredited. This journey includes everything you need to complete both levels in one purchase: the required TrainingPeaks Essentials course, all other required coursework, and both accreditation application fees. To apply for Level 2, you must have been Level 1 Accredited for at least three months, and both levels are valid for one calendar year, requiring annual renewal.
