Overview

We are constantly bombarded by the media with hints and tips for sensible eating habits and the need for eating healthy foods, and it can often seem contradictory. So how do we make sense of it all?

About Our Diet and Nutrition Advisor Course

This paper-based or online Diet and Nutrition course is aimed at enabling students to give clear, concise and no-nonsense diet and nutrition advice, and to educate others on health and wellbeing through diet and nutrition.

The nutrition course will touch crucial areas including nutrients and the digestive system, weight control and management, diets for various populations, and supplements.

Designed to engage the student in research and to think clearly and analytically, this nutrition course will prepare students with the skills essential to advising their clients.

Assessment Method

After each lesson there will be a question paper, which needs to be completed and submitted to your personal tutor for marking.

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. If you work in certain professions or for certain companies, your employer may require you to complete a number of CPD hours or points, per year. You can find a range of CPD courses on Reed Courses, many of which can be completed online.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
