What
our students say about Nutrition for Children & Teenagers "The course was superb. I can now converse intelligently with paediatricians and nutritionists and, of course, provide better treatment for my patients." Dr Barry Panzer, Brooklyn, New York "Fantastic! Very east to understand and follow. Excellent and up to date information. Enjoyable assessment that allowed for realistic application of knowledge gained" Kate Morris, QLD "The information was easy to understand and also very well presented. I will be using it (the text) as a reference in the future". Simone, Lugarno NSW "I liked how all the information tied up with the home studies and the exam. Also it was good to see the test written in an easy to follow fashion. You need this when you are studying on your own". Rachael, Grace Town TAS "The course content was appropriate for the time given so I didn't feel pressured to study all the time - I have a young baby". Kate, Lane Cove NSW |
