Discover how to take your first step towards a career in nutritional therapy

 

Our students come from all walks of life and many have had an established career. We do not expect applicants to have the same qualifications as a college-leaver and welcome applicants with a wide range of appropriate certificated and/or experiential learning. Our admissions team can advise on individual applications and admission arrangements. We may be flexible in our normal entry requirements if you can show a commitment to succeed and have relevant skills and experience. You must show that you will benefit from and finish the course successfully. We are committed to fair admission practice and welcome applications from people with disabilities.
