Will I be an accredited nutritionist after completing this course? The short answer is no. In order to legally provide a service where you can charge a fee for nutrition advice you need to have undertaken a number of years relevant study (for example in health science), gained a relevant qualification (e.g. Advanced Diploma of Nutrition, Bachelor of Nutrition and Dietetics). Such courses generally take a minimum of three years of full time study to complete. Courses offered by Beck Health & Nutrition provide a practical, professional and up-to-the minute study of health and nutrition however in order to become an accredited nutrition professional you must first undertake relevant studies through a university or accredited private college offering nutrition study at least to Advanced Diploma level. Beck Health & Nutrition courses provide an excellent introduction into the science of nutrition and are commonly undertaken by individuals who are deciding whether to study nutrition at a professional level however the short-course nature of these programs mean that they will not independently accredit you as a nutritionist. Each of our courses are approved for Continuing Practitioner Education (CPE) points for ongoing registration (for nutritionists, naturopaths etc). Our Certificate of Nutrition course is also accredited by Fitness Australia and our Infant to Preschool course is accredited by the International Board Lactation Consultant Examiners for continuing education points. These accreditation arrangements ensure that once you have completed the course your qualification can be used to apply for advanced standing (exemptions on other courses), recognition of prior learning (RPL) or continued professional memberships.
