Leaders in Nutrition Training
How we can help you:
Our courses are designed for people who fall into one of the following categories:
1. Those working in health, fitness, or food-related professions who are looking to strengthen their knowledge of nutrition in a recognised way. You may already have a nutrition service set up and want to grow it further.
2. Those working in a field unrelated to nutrition but who have a strong interest in it. You may want to improve your own understanding of nutrition and dream of starting your own nutrition business or pursuing a career in the nutrition industry.
If you fit into either of these categories, you’re in the right place!

I want to learn about nutrition
If you would like to become a specialist in nutrition, study with an organisation that has a team of specialist dietitians and nutritionists with years of experience in the field.
Study and obtain a recognised diploma in nutrition. Worldwide, over 30,000 students have completed our course because we are unique in four key ways:
1) Recognition
We are the only training provider in the UK certified by the Association for Nutrition (AfN) at Levels 3, 4, and 5. We also offer the only Level 5 course certified under the Health and Social Care Framework.
The Association for Nutrition (AfN) is the official governing body for nutritionists in the UK and the accrediting body for King’s College London, Cardiff University, and other major university nutrition degree programmes.
We are also accredited by the prestigious CPD Service, a trusted authority with a long history of accrediting top-tier training providers. This esteemed organisation also accredits renowned institutions such as the University of Cambridge, University of Oxford, and The Football Association, ensuring the highest standards of quality and credibility in professional development.
2) Expert-led course design
Our courses are designed and tutored by registered dietitians. Dietitians are the most highly qualified nutrition professionals, as they are clinically trained in nutrition, and the title dietitian is protected by law.
3) Proven real-world experience
We are the only training organisation with a successful track record of setting up nutrition clinics and creating business opportunities for over 40 years of collective experience. This real-world experience is fully integrated into our training.
4) Comprehensive curriculum
Our course is one of the most comprehensive available. It is unique in covering diets and diseases, topics not included in other courses. In one course, we cover what many providers spread across four to five separate courses.
Choosing the right level
When deciding whether to opt for our Level 3, 4, or 5 courses, our advice is simple: we recommend that students choose Level 5, as it is the most comprehensive option. While Levels 3 and 4 may be more affordable, all of their content is included within the Level 5 course, as shown below.
If you would like a detailed syllabus outlining the content of each module, please contact us via ‘Contact Us’, and we will be happy to send it to you.
