Nutrition & Health QCF Level 2

If you want to develop your knowledge of Nutrition and Health so that you can embark on a rewarding career or you are already working in a related field and want to improve your career prospects, then this is the course for you.

The Distance Learning NCFE Level 2 Award in Nutrition and Health has been accredited by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA) and is part of the Qualifications Credit Framework (QCF).  It has been developed in response to increasing levels of obesity in both adults and children.  The Foresight study suggests that should current trends continue, by 2050 about 60% of men, 50% of women and 25% of children in the UK will be obese.  The rising obesity levels could cost the country in excess of £45 billion a year by 2050 through increased care requirements and missed working hours.

This qualification is ideal for learners who are interested in improving their knowledge of nutrition and healthy eating. Parents, carers, catering staff and students may find this qualification of particular benefit.
