ARTICULATION TO
​WELL COLLEGE GLOBAL FROM OTHER PROVIDERS

Changes to Advanced Diplomas
Over 2018/19 industry reforms and changes saw the move from diplomas and advanced diplomas offered by many private colleges to higher education courses, although interestingly the government is allowing back in Certificate IV's in Nutrition. The Higher Education Act has also been amended in 2017 to regulate the use of the term 'diploma' by those not registered as a registered training organisation (RTO) or higher education provider. 

Well College Global courses are written at degree level as they are applicable as pathway courses as well as industry continuing education credits for health and fitness professionals who already hold tertiary qualifications including degrees.

Moving across to Well College
As a consequence of these industry changes we are getting a high volume of students wishing to move across to our Accredited Nutrition & Health Coaching (NHC) program from other colleges.

We are also receiving many students who have undertaken and completed health coaching courses elsewhere which lack any depth in actual coaching leaving fledgling coaches with little confidence in working with clients who need them. In these cases we look to credit coaches as much as we can so they can quickly become the coach they want to be.

Our NHC program pathways to the Bachelor of Health Science (Nutritional Medicine and Naturopathy) at Endeavour College of Natural Therapies, providing a unit exemption in nutrition as well as the Nutrition Bachelor degrees at Torrens University. It is not possible to use an RPL'd subject such as the Certificate of Human Nutrition for RPL to other colleges for example Endeavour College. In this case students will need to use their original course as the RPL evidence or similar. 

Fees: An RPL fee of $150 may be applicable (unless otherwise stated)
Maximum RPL: 33% of any given program
Evidence: All applications will require supporting evidence such as completion certificates, insurance or registration documents, syllabi and so on.
Currency: Courses you are using for RPL or advanced standing will ideally have been completed within the past 24 months, and will show evidence of training of the latest Dietary Guidelines within that time.

We look forward to having you join us soon!

PROCESS

Students who have completed ACNT unit/s within the past 24 months:

• Dietary Modifications 

While this course only partially represent elements of our Certificate of Human Nutrition it does clearly cover the underpinning knowledge for first year nutrition. In most cases students will be entitled to RPL out of the Certificate of Human Nutrition or apply for bridging to the Certificate of Human Nutrition. Fees are reduced to account for the overlap. Contact the office for more details.  

Students who have completed years 1 and 2 in nutrition should apply for RPL

TBA

Students who have completed Endeavour's unit within the past 24 months:

• NMDF121 Foundations of Human Nutrition

Will be entitled to RPL out of the Certificate of Human Nutrition or apply for bridging to the Accredited Certificate of Nutrition (fees are reduced to account for the overlap). Contact the office for more details.  

While IIN's program is very comprehensive regarding dieting theories, it doesn't sufficiently cover the critical nutrition knowledge (beyond American populations) in the science of nutrients or life cycle nutrition to RPL to our Certificate of Human Nutrition. Student's will be required to complete the Certificate of Human Nutrition but at a reduced price to acknowledge a slight overlap.

Nature Care College

OTHER: Small Australian based providers offering similar courses in nutrition

Students who have completed Nature Care units within the past 24 months:

• Foundations of Nutrition A and B 

While this course only partially represent elements of our Certificate of Human Nutrition it does clearly cover the underpinning knowledge for first year nutrition. In most cases students will be entitled to RPL out of the Accredited Certificate of Nutrition or apply for bridging to the Accredited Certificate of Nutrition. Fees are reduced to account for the overlap. Contact the office for more details.  
Students who have completed years 1 and 2 in nutrition should apply for RPL

If you have completed a course with a small provider, within the past 24 months, and wish to see if it can be mapped to our program, we recommend you check over our content and then compare it to what you have completed. You will need to have completed at least 80% of our content for RPL to be relevant. The course must also have been based on the latest Dietary Guidelines. But, all is not lost, even if you can't meet this level, contact the office and we will do our best to work out a solution.
