How to become a nutritionist Professional practice

CAN I PRACTICE AS A NUTRITIONIST

FROM ONE OF YOUR COURSES?

Not surprisingly this is one of the most

common questions we get asked. The

short answer is ‘no’. Nutritionists have

undertaken at least three years of

tertiary study, that’s around 24 subjects.

So one unit won’t make the grade.

However, knowing that this is why many

people come to us, Cadence Health

has worked hard to secure a unique

option for you to pathway to the

Bachelor of Health Science with

Endeavour College in Nutrition or

Naturopathy.

Generally cost and time starts at

around 3 years fulltime and $30,000.

+

MINIMUM REQUIREMENT TO BECOME A

NUTRITIONIST

The minimum requirement to gain

insurance and registration to practice as

a nutritionist is a diploma (which will be

phased out in 2019 and the minimum will

be a degree) (see How to Become a

Nutritionist on our website).

In order to practice safely and with

insurance nutritionists and dietitians will

register with an industry body and then

gain liability insurance.

INTERNATIONAL

You will find most countries have a

similar process consisting of a degree,

registration to an industry body and then

insurance. In the UK some of the below

links will assist you in accessing relevant

information to assist in this process:

The Nutrition Society -

http://www.nutritionsociety.org/

The British Association for Applied

Nutrition and Nutritional Therapy

(BANT) -http://www.bant.org.uk/

British Nutrition Foundation -

http://www.nutrition.org.uk/

ARE THERE OTHER OPTIONS?

There sure is… if the science is off-

putting, or the clinical nature of such

a degree isn’t what you are after, or

the price tag is a bit rich, we may

have just the perfect option for you.

Become a Recognised Nutrition & Health Coach….

and becoming a PT? Cadence Health offers a very special

PT courses anywhere! Quality learning environment, topnotch staff, friendly support and the

nutrition is your passion. Our Accredited Certificate of Nutrition will provide you with a

credit for a nutrition subject in the Bachelor of Health Science (Nutritional Medicine or

Naturopathy). You’ll save time and a whole lot of money!

Simply advise the office of your study intentions when enrolling.

additional assessment and we do the rest, providing you with evidence that you have

met all the requirements, you can then just contact Endeavour College and enroll taking

with you the exemption for Foundations of Human Nutrition.

How does a distance and online course differ?

Distance subjects are ones we print, pack and mail to you;

in fact you don’t even need a computer if you don’t want

to flash it up. An online course is accessed via your own

private student portal along with a load of resources and

learning options.

That’s right, no classes to attend (unless you enroll into one

of Wellness Australia’s workshops).

And, of course if you need help we are always around!
