Confidence & Integrity
You are drawn to the science that builds on your existing knowledge and want the confidence and the integrity that comes with the Nutritional Therapist qualification
But you want……
Faster
You are worried about the time and commitment it takes to follow the conventional route to become a Nutritional Therapist, most courses take up to 5 years.
Cheaper
You want a more cost-effective route, conventional degrees in Nutritional Therapy are expensive, costing up to £22k
Progression
You want an option that recognises that you aren’t starting from scratch when it comes to your knowledge and skills
This is why we’ve created our new Nutritional Therapy fast-track course!
What I think is particularly beneficial about our fast-track course is that it enables health coaches and healthcare practitioners to start practicing as a Nutritional Therapist after just 2½ years and costs a fraction of the price – it’s a much more vocational option, supporting coaches to become practicing Nutritional Therapists much faster and more affordably than conventional routes.
