Course Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the course take to complete? The course is accredited at 565 hours, so this is the average it would take to complete. You have 18 months to complete the course, so you would need to study approximately 8 hours per week to complete within this time.
Are there assignments, exams and case studies? How is the course assessed? At the end of most of the modules there will be some type of assignment, usually short essay style, Q&A or self-reflection. There is also an end of course knowledge review. All learners have to undertake 25 nutritional therapy sessions, which constitutes your case studies. We give ample training prior to this, and help our learners to access people looking to volunteer. A Viva may be required at the end of the course.
Do you provide client forms and programmes? We provide you with a wide range of client forms, covering both coaching and nutrition. Whilst you are free to use these, we always encourage you to create your own when you know how you best work. We also provide some generic programmes for you, and again, we provide these to use, but more importantly to show you how to create your own that are unique to you, and what you offer. Working generically is not the best way when it comes to working with clients, and we teach you how to tailor the programmes to suit your clients. We also teach how to work with companies that will provide you with blood testing and diagnostic services, so that you can offer an even fuller service to your clients.
What support do you offer? We pride ourselves in offering the best support around! As well as fortnightly supervised online peer support groups, we offer monthly supervision, and pastoral support. We also have a thriving online peer support platform, where our students, mentors and graduates offer each other support. For those who can visit us in Manchester, we offer regular face-to-face networking events at our beautiful Monastery venue. We have a student support team to help you with the day-to-day questions, and tutors are available for anything technical.
Do I need to attend live sessions? There is no requirement to attend any live sessions for this course, however we strongly recommend that where a live nutrition class is available, that you attend. Also, whilst we do have pre-recorded videos, these do not give you the ability to ask real-time questions, or engage with any practical sessions. We also have peer support groups which our students find highly useful. All our live sessions take place on Zoom.
Why is your course considerably less than others with similar or less accreditations? We are quite unique in that we are a not-for-profit training company. Because we do not have to pay out dividends to shareholders, we can keep our course fees low. We also do not employ sales people to sell our courses. If you book a call to discuss a course, you will speak to one of our actual course tutors, who are best placed to give you the most accurate advice about the course and the industry, don't try to sell to you or follow a script. No commissions or bonuses are paid.
Which organisations can I join? Upon successful completion of the course, you will be eligible for membership and insurance through FNTP. We also recommend our graduates join the Nutrition Society.
