Become a Nutrition & Health Coach through eLearning – online!
Now you can study wherever you are for our brand-new BTEC Advanced Diploma in Nutrition & Health Coaching.
As the key role of food in disease and health becomes a mainstream concern, more people than ever before are seeking professional training to enable them to work in this exciting and rewarding area.
However, as it is not possible for everybody to attend our weekend-based courses, we are about to launch online, with our internationally accredited Nutrition & Health Coach Advanced Diploma course in fully-supported distance learning format (eLearning). This programme will run from September to June, associated with the classroom-based course.
Through their personal on-line ‘dashboard’, distance learning students receive video (streaming or download) and/or audio files of all class sessions, a few days after each teaching weekend. On-line tutorials between class weekends are conducted by the tutor. Assignments are accessed, completed and marked on-line and students receive feedback from the tutor. Each online student has their own support mentor – a qualified Nutrition & Health Coach – who chats with them by phone or Skype at pre-arranged times throughout the course. Students are encouraged to make the most of the various online forums on study topics, food, nutrition, health, cooking, among others.
Distance learning students are required to attend one study weekend (Advice & Guidance Skills) in February. This is also when they get to meet their tutors and mentor. In addition, a weekend of cooking demonstration classes (Cooking for Coaches) is offered to eLearning students in June.
