What is Nutrition?

Nutrition is the study of how the body metabolises the nutrients found in food. It seeks to understand the essential micro and macro nutrients needed to sustain optimal operation of bodily systems and functions, including energy production at a cellular level and what happens when systems are not functioning at their best. Good nutrition is essential for achieving the best possible health outcomes and can play a major role in recovery from disease and ill health.

Can I work as a Nutritionist?

 While the nutrition profession isn’t government regulated within Australia, there are certification programs and professional bodies who regulate standards and will only allow entry to degree qualified nutritionists. This means that, while anyone can call themselves a nutritionist, weight loss coach, food coach or nutritional counsellor, only people with a bachelor’s degree and clinical practice hours can register as a Certified Practising Nutritionist. Certified Practising Nutritionists have been recognised under the Therapeutic Goods Act since 1989 and often work alongside other health professionals like doctors or allied health practitioners.

While our courses do not qualify you to do that, you are still able to utilise your knowledge within your health or caring profession while working towards more formal qualifications if you desire.

Our primary recommendation is for you to take advantage of our user-friendly learning packages and one-on-one tutoring from our PhD-level nutritionist as a stepping stone to access degree or diploma programs. Our courses are tailored to improve your confidence and study skills, while also providing cutting edge industry knowledge that can open doors to more formal qualifications.

Who are these courses for?

Our online nutrition courses are for anyone interested in learning about health and exploring nutrition as a pathway into the burgeoning wellness industry. Our courses are perfect for people who just want more knowledge of nutrition for their personal development or those who are considering a longer pathway of study but want a supportive environment led by an industry professional before committing to a longer course with less individual support.

If you are more interested in coaching people in healthy eating or value-adding to your qualifications in personal training, fitness, or personal support, we can certainly help you too.

Which courses are recognised?

Several of our nutrition courses are recognised by the International Institute for Complimentary Therapies (IICT), a non-government industry recognition program.  This means that upon completion of the relevant courses you can join the IICT, which includes access to their indemnity insurance options.  For more information visit International Institute for Complimentary Therapies (IICT).

How long are the courses?

Online courses (tutor-supported)

100-hours: one month full-time or up to 12 months part-time

Each tutor-driven online course takes approximately 100 hours of study applied flexibly over a 12-month period. This means you can tailor your study around your lifestyle, with a minimum part-time requirement of two hours of online study per week over the year, or you can fast-track your science career by completing your course within a month or so of full-time study.

Each lesson requires you to submit a written assessment to your tutor for feedback, enhancing your learning experience by verifying your ongoing engagement with the course materials. This ensures you are not tempted to skip over a lesson that could provide vital knowledge in your field of study. There are also non-assessable, self-assessment quizzes for each lesson to help test your knowledge. This means that by the end of the course you will have really engaged with the course materials, which we know equals learning!

Short courses (self-directed)

Our short courses offer excellent value for money and an introduction into your field of study. They are self-directed learning packages, which means they don’t offer the same tutor-support as our online courses but can offer greater flexibility and economy while still providing you with the desired learning outcomes and a certificate of completion at the end of your study.
