I dont know if any of you have done any correspondence courses. The thing is that where i live there arent any Holistic schools or anywhere i can go to do a course of this nature and i wanted to do a Nutrition one. I have found some schools who do on line courses one of them is The Kevala Centre for distance learning courses which is what i need. Anyone heard of them or used them before please let me know.

RE: Looking for an online Nutrition course
Hi,
I've not heard of the Kevala Centre, so am unable to offer any advice on them, but a friend of mine started a nutrition course through The School of Natural Health Sciences. She was happy with the course and it's content, so much so, I ended up enrolling on several courses myself!! I was supposed to start an ITEC A&P course in Derby back in Feb, but it was postponed till May. So, I decided to enrol on 3 of their courses until my ITEC course begins. They are definitely worth a look, I'm happy with the courses and their efficiency at responding to emails, plus they do special offers. Their website is
Good luck with whatever route you decide to take

RE: Looking for an online Nutrition course
Hey Raindrops
Did you enrol on any correspondence courses? I'm really interested in doing that too, but don't want to end up with a non-recognised qualification!!
I'm looking at the naturalhealthresources.com site now and it looks quite good...
RE: Looking for an online Nutrition course
Hey, if you look at the BANT website then a lot of the recognised courses use distance learning, although this is mainly via post rather than online i think. I've been looking to train in nutritional therapy and kevala is accredited by the BANT and seems to have a good reputation from the people i have spoken to. Plaskett Nutritional Medicine college is another distance learning college with a very good reputation and hopefully the qualification will be upgraded to a degree soon.
If you are just looking for a short course on nutrtion however there are a lot of online sites. elearn offers the stonebridge nutrition courses, adn there is alwasy SNSH or BSY etc.
Hope that helps even if it is a bit late!
RE: Looking for an online Nutrition course
Hi - depending on how in depth you want to go, fitness industry education do on-line courses in nutrition. It comes under weight management on the site but i think it's the equivilant to NVQ level 3 nutrition.

Hi ... 🙂
I wonder if anyone could possible give me a little advice.
Am thinking of starting a diet and nutrition course in September, my local college offers an ITEC course, is this any good? or is there a better course to take? if so, does anyone recommend a college in East Sussex/kent boarders?

Hello,
I am looking to complete a distance learning course to enable me to become a BANT registered nutritional therapist/practitioner. I have heard the ION college, Putmey is probably one of the best, but is to far away for me and requires many w/ends away, which would be difficult with my family committments.
I have also looked at PremierGlobal, Kevala & The College of Natural Therapy (in High Peak). I would be really interested to hear from anyone who has experience of any of these or if anyone knows how they might compare in terms of credibility, course content/materials??
All advice much appreciated.
Thank you......
RE: Nutritional Therapist/Pract. Course ??
You're probably asking BANT themselves about which courses qualifications they accept or membership that -
And.
Nutrition Diploma
Hi All
I am very interested in studying to become a Nutritional Therapist and have been trawling the internet for quite some time looking for a suitable course. As much as I would like to go to university full time and do a BSc course, i can't afford to do this nor do i feel it is most suitable for me.
I have looked at studying for a Diploma and have come across 'The College of Naturopathic Medicine (CNM)' - has anyone done this qualification and could they recommend it? I live in London and work full-time and would like something I can fit around that and that is affordable.
Thanks for any advice on this matter... The more I look the more confusing it gets as to which route is best and recognised etc.
Blessings.

RE: Nutrition Diploma
Hi there
I am in the same boat - working full time but looking to do nutrition, not only to help myself but help my daughter who is a very keen athlete - to try and get the best for her. I have been considering the Plaskett Nutritional distance course, which is now part of Thames Valley Uni - its over a couple of years but you can get a uni recognised degree at the end of it. I did try a distance learning package last year just to see if I could learn/retain with that style of learning. It seemed to go OK - however I did'nt expect to go into advisory after - you need guidance on how to set up a business and also client care etc - I did basic nutrition and sports nutrition - which was not part of the course I did - I learned quite a few new things. It was tempting to refer to your papers when testing yourself though - must be very disciplined not to peek!. for tasters - not really sure I want to put "Sports NUT" after my name either! that being said there was useful content and as I said it was mainly to see how I got on with that type of learning. Though I have to admit how people can learn the "hands on" therapies such as acupressure, massage etc by distance is a mystery to me.
Even with Plaskett I think it will be difficult to do the latter parts where you need clinical studies etc - not sure how I would cope with that, or how to go about it - I dont know any practitioners currently whom I could work with. I'm currently sorting out my finances to be able to put the 50% down then monthly payments to start at the bottom - but my exhaust fell off - so its delayed yet another month or two !.
good luck - 🙂 heres the link for Plaskett
