Hi Chid ,

In relation to your questions about this course - here it goes

This course is a level 3 ITEC Diploma in Diet and Nutrition for Complementary Therapists

Guided learning time is 100 hours - Pre-requisite - students must hold an Itec Diploma in a Complementary therapy or Itec Diploma in Body Treatments or equivalent.

This course replaced the old ITEC Sports Nutrition

Its a very interesting course giving you an in depth knowledge of nutrition, supplements, conditions and treatments through nutrition.

Areas that are covered :
The digestive system,
Functions of water in the diet
Carbohydrates
Fats
Cholesterol - suitable unsuitable foods, implications
Proteins, Awareness of current debates - high protein diet and mineral loss
Vitamins & Minerals, functions, sources, signs of deficiencies, over consumption - dangers
Food processing
Nutritional value of foods
Diet & cancer
Refined & unrefined foods , medical conditions arising & additional supplements
Anti-nutrients, tea coffe smoking medication, medical conditions that can arise
Enviromental pollutants, how they affect the body, illness

Glucose imbalance / hypoglycaemia - balancing your blood sugar/ The GL diet
Diabetes type 1 & 2 suitable food intake
Timing of meals
Common ailments and related nutritional imbalance
Plastics and medical conditions that can arise from use
Organic foods

As with all Itec paper it is 60% to pass,

The paper is broken down to :
5 questions on the digestive system and foods
15 questions on Nutrients and Antinutrients
5 questions on Conditions, allergies and intolerances

A total of 25 questions to be answered in 30 minutes


Case studies are also required
5 case studies based on common ailments or conditions with a consultation, current food log, new improved diet for 14 days, feed back ect. marked as pass/ fail

I would strongly advise this course, it will make you think twice about what you put in your mouth, you will become much more healthly and will be able to offer nutritional advice.
