The Diploma in Nutritional Therapy is a detailed home study course, which gives you the tools you need to set up and ‘land running’ as a qualified Nutritional Therapist. You will develop the skills necessary to evaluate the health status of a client and construct safe, effective nutritional and lifestyle programmes, including supplementation and clinical testing.
Coursework and clinical studies run parallel over the two years allowing you to use and consolidate your underpinning knowledge while actively learning and practising your clinical skills.
The Business Skills programme (provided via CDs) also spans both years and teaches you from the very beginning of the course, to think in terms of how you will market and sell your practice.
This course provides the flexibility of working from home with invaluable face-to-face student and tutor contact at the 6 clinical weekends.
Premier has written the course to National Occupational Standards (NOS) and has submitted for stage 2 accreditation with the Nutritional Therapy Council.Students of this course are eligible for membership of the British Association for Applied Nutrition and Nutritional Therapy(BANT) and the Natural Naturopathic Association. Insurance to practise can be obtained after completion of the course.
