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 $40,000.
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…

Become a personal trainer
Is fitness your passion? Been considering taking the leap
and becoming a PT? Cadence Health offers a very special
arrangement for members and students to take up a special offer with our partner PT

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

Testing the water with the Accredited Certificate of Nutrition
Don’t spend thousands on testing the water to see if
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 (Nutrition & Dietetic
Medicine or Naturopathy). You’ll save time and a whole lot of money!
Simply advise the office of your study intentions when enrolling.
Moving onto the Health Science Degree
Is simple and seamless, it’s a matter of completing an
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.

All our individual courses can be taken either for personal interest or used for continuing education points within your industry. What are CECs, CPDs and CPES? Fitness and health care professionals are required to maintain ongoing training for their registration and insurance, referred to as continuing education points. All courses below hold Fitness Australia CECs, natural therapies points and more. What do the courses cost and how long do they take? Course fees range from $25 through to $500 depending on the modality and duration. Subjects range from short snippet courses to 78 hours of study for the degree pathway nutrition subject.

Assessments Regardless of the mode of study all courses have just one assessment tool designed for learning and not to trip you up.

You have probably had a good look around
at the myriad of courses and providers out
there offering all manner of options and
saying all manner of things you can (or can't)
do with your 'qualification'.
Your credentials, registration and insurance
Cadence Health is a quality provider with a
passion for holistic health and a high degree
of integrity. It was Cadence Health who
originally submitted the modality 'Nutrition &
Health Coaching' to IICT based on a seven-
unit program that has at it's core four units in
nutrition, psychology and behaviour change,
wellbeing coaching and physical and mental
health (along with a minimum of three electives across business, health and education).
You will see providers utilising similar sounding 'programs', some don't even come close to meeting these foundations, and
it's this that is the real issue around accreditation, transparency. Every unit you take with us reflects strong educational
practices, health values and a clear scope of practice.
We know it's all very confusing when it comes to accreditation, the confusing messages by some providers don't help. Some
suggest that you don't actually need any qualification or registration, which is true in a sense. But, what they don't tell you is
that if you charge for a service you become liable for what you say and do in delivering the service. Yep! A pretty
important point to leave out!
You will be awarded a certificate with the formal title of 'Recognised Nutrition & Health Coach' as deemed by registering
agencies such as IICT and insurance underwriters. Registration for those with existing health or fitness qualifications is
available with the Australasian Society of Lifestyle Medicine, and we have more registration options coming shortly for
Europe and further.
It's critical to have robust registration, and even more robust insurance based on a relevant scope of practice that the
training is based on, which directly reflects the modality it's registered under. What’s the point spending money on a
‘program’ that clearly doesn't deliver anything that resembles a quality program? Insurance or no insurance!
