The Deal

This CPD-accredited course is endorsed by CYQ and by SkillsActive and is designed for anyone looking to begin or further their career as an accredited advisor in the field of nutritional science, or for those interested in managing their own diet. It unfolds over the course of 19 modules, each with its own automatically graded online quiz, which must be completed with a score of more than 80% before moving on. Feedback on the answers is provided once the module has been passed. Completion of the final theory exam, which also has a pass rate of 80%, is required before the qualification can be obtained. There is no time limit on the course itself, or in any of the tests, but as a rough guide students should expect it to take around 90 hours. Graduates of this course are also eligible for discounted professional membership and pre-approved insurance to practice.
