CERTIFICATE OF HUMAN NUTRITION
An international nutrition course that inspires
budding nutritionists & health coaches!
|
The Certificate of Human Nutrition course takes you through the latest evidenced-based information about essential nutrition knowledge.
It covers defining a 'good diet', a review of global dietary guidelines, all you need to know about carbohydrates and sugars, the latest on dietary fats (with special coverage of cholesterol and saturated fats), how protein functions, and a special look at vegetarian and vegan diets. You'll also look into micronutrients (vitamins and minerals), water balance and hydration. Plus special topics such as early nutrition (including a look at food allergies), pregnancy nutrition, sports nutrition, weight loss nutrition, nutrition of older adults, food safety and a chapter on dietary assessment (based on a non-diet approach). |
If you're toying with the idea of a career in nutrition you might want to consider 'testing the water' first to see if you want to pursue a career in nutrition.
On completion of this nutrition course you can pathway to a degree and receive a unit exemption/s in the Nutrition or Naturopathic diplomas and degree at Endeavour College of Natural Health or Torrens University! Also ideal for PTs seeking to work more closely with clients eating. We teach nutrition not diets! You'll hold solid knowledge to make, and share, informed decisions, and you'll be able to know where to find credible information. We don't cover every diet known to man, we teach you how to evaluate them past, present and future, we think that's a pretty good life long skill. |

OUR NUTRITION & HEALTH PHILOSOPHY
Non-diet based approach: Healthy Eating at Every Size (HAES)
Unlike many training providers we don't adhere to any diet or to dieting, nor do we teach nutrition from a restriction-paradigm. Science has proven dietary restriction methods for weight management don't work. Well College has adopted the non-diet approach (NDA) which has shown excellent long-term outcomes (refer HAES – Health at Every Size, Linda Bacon). The NDA is a gentle approach, encouraging us to return to being in-tune with our bodies, and to see food as nourishment for the mind, body and soul. We teach client-led nutrition & health coaching Coaching at it's core honours the creative, resourceful beings we all are. Well College teaches a client-led coaching approach, this starts a process of letting go of the need to solve others challenges, and the need to be right, and the need to be liked. Instead you'll learn how to use curiosity to direct you, and led from behind while placing clients firmly in charge of their life course. Simply... we honour and teach self-compassion and empowerment. Ask the right questions so you can make an informed choice
When you see statements that suggest a food coach is a nutritionist we recommend you proceed carefully. While anyone can refer to themselves as almost anything in theory, to be registered and insured to work in an area of health is an entirely separate thing. Ask providers making such claims, what body will register you as a 'nutritionist', and where your insurance will come from. Be informed! |

Absolutely loved this course! Perfect for a very keen beginner! Everything is well detailed, so much additional (and helpful) information is provided, and the course is perfectly organised. Completing this has helped me realise that nutrition really is the path I want to follow, I'm so excited about my future and can't wait to further my education!
Marika Spann Good afternoon, I just wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU. I just received my Certificate for the Accredited Certificate of Nutrition course. I have a smile from ear to ear. I really enjoyed this course and find your communication fantastic. The material is easy to follow and makes distance learning really enjoyable. So Thanks once again and I can't wait to undertake my next lot of studies with Cadence Health! Mel Crouch Do It Daily Health & Fitness I just want to say to anyone starting out in the health industry a solid foundation in nutrition is a great place to begin. I did the Accredited Cert of Nutrition a bit over a year ago and have since continued onto study Naturopathy and Nutrition. I didn't realise it at the time, but sure do now, that your text, resources and service are a cut above the rest. I am so glad I enrolled in your course first, it is helping me so much, I look forward to doing some of your short courses again when I have completed my current studies. Thanks a bunch :) Chantelle Thornton |
Awesome! This course was perfect for me as a personal trainer. Your fact sheets we can use and access and nutrition booklets meant I could 'provide dietary information' to my clients. Spot on the mark guys!
Chris, WA Although I have always had an interest in food and nutrition, I have thoroughly enjoyed doing this course and have learned a lot! Just the course text itself has been a wonderful reference to my new additional role at work as a 'Food Coach'. I look forward to further increasing my knowledge by enrolling soon in the Weight Loss Nutrition and Sports Nutrition courses. Perhaps even Nutrition Psychology too! Many thanks! Barbara Lamb, Victoria I really enjoyed the format of how the course was set out, also the telephone support was always helpful and never made you feel that your call was a trouble. I loved the course and look forward to doing more. Will recommend your courses, they are really professional and well put together. Virginia Fotiadis |
