Dietetics Awareness Level 3 consists of eight structured lectures, followed by a final assessment. Each lecture builds progressively from foundational knowledge to professional and ethical awareness.

The course begins with an introduction to dietetics, examining the scope of the profession, the role of dietitians in healthcare, and ethical considerations that guide professional conduct.

Advanced nutritional biochemistry explores macronutrients, micronutrients, nutrient metabolism, and nutritional requirements across the lifespan. This section focuses on scientific understanding rather than dietary prescription.

Clinical nutrition and therapeutics introduce theoretical approaches to nutritional assessment, nutrition-related medical conditions, and concepts such as enteral and parenteral nutrition, discussed at an awareness level only.

Dietary counselling and behaviour change examine principles of effective communication, behaviour change theories, and counselling techniques used in nutrition-focused discussions, without preparing learners for clinical counselling roles.

Specialised dietetics explores nutrition considerations for specific populations, sports nutrition concepts, and awareness of eating disorders and mental health within a nutritional context.

Research methods in dietetics introduce research design, data collection, analysis, and the importance of evidence-based discussion in nutrition and dietetics.

Professional practice and ethics examine legal and ethical responsibilities, continuing professional development, and awareness of registration and regulation of dietitians in the UK.

The dietetics practicum introduces observational placements, supervised learning contexts, and case study analysis for educational purposes only.

Assessment allows learners to demonstrate understanding of dietetics concepts, professional awareness, and ethical boundaries.
