What our students say about the Advanced Certificate of Nutrition & Health Coaching course
“The way this nutrition course was presented gave me all the answers I’ve had in my head for years. Thank you!” Luke Tobin, QLD
“Just wanted to say thank you for making this course available. The content of this course was presented clearly and enjoyable to read and comprehend. It was fantastic to have the learning resources in hard copy and a true delight that I could take these with me and utilise those spare moments. Human nutrition is a wonderful area of study and I look forward to implementing my new skills.” Bree G, VIC
“I liked the fact that the course was short enough to tackle while working full time, but detailed enough that I felt like I was learning a lot” Cal Spencer, QLD
“I really enjoyed the course, it expanded my knowledge of nutrition into greater depth, in ways that can help myself with my own diet and also help my clients and my business. I also really enjoyed having a physical textbook to read from, it made it easier to study as I find reading in front of a computer screen all the time makes me tired and I fall into distractions easier (end up surfing the web, facebook, youtube etc). The content was easy to understand and follow, I think it was well structured. I have thought hard about how the course can be improved and I’m not too sure, as I thoroughly enjoyed it just the way it is. I liked the learning activity questions as applying knowledge is a great way to learn and I liked having the videos as well to supplement my learning”. Matt, NSW.
“The course material was very easy to read and understand. Thank you for everything, I really enjoyed the courses I completed” Meredith Van Lierop, VIC.
