This unique, fast-track option is offered to qualified nutritional therapy practitioners (DipION or equivalent) who want to enhance their practice skills, research an area of interest, and gain additional credibility from a science honours degree.
In clinical practice, when faced with particular health conditions, practitioners may seek greater depth of knowledge that they can apply to their practice.

Practitioners also work with clients with a range of nutrition and lifestyle challenges. The course is designed to equip you with the skills in how to guide your clients towards making effective and meaningful change; enabling you to not only achieve better results in practice but also to grow your business.
Modules combine the latest theoretical and applied knowledge from nutritional science as well as the psychology of behaviour change. Add new skills to build your practice whilst further developing your skills in guiding clients towards making effective and lasting nutritional and lifestyle changes.
