Who is this Course for

The Practitioner Certificate in Nutrition provides an excellent opportunity for both novice and seasoned personal trainers to expand their knowledge and earning potential.

Upon completion of the program, graduates can leverage their expertise in nutrition to enhance their fitness business or establish a unique value proposition that distinguishes them from other industry professionals and ultimately increasing their income as a fitness professional. 

“Nutritional Therapists (NT) help clients to improve longevity, alleviate chronic disease symptoms, and prevent illness. By performing client interviews and analysing food journals and nutritional assessment questionnaires they can make bio-individual recommendations to implement dietary changes, lifestyle choices and over-the-counter nutritional supplementation. They provide non-biased, science-based education on the benefits of a whole foods/nutrient-dense diet and quality nutritional products that support chronic nutritional deficiencies. An NT is not trained to provide medical nutrition therapy or diagnose, treat, prevent, prescribe or cure any pathological condition, illness or disease.” IICT
