Student testimonials
This course was absolutely excellent. There was so much knowledge and detail in the course and it was exactly what I was looking for to improve my nutrition and health knowledge so I can offer better advice to clients when I start into my personal training career. The course book, videos explaining each section and quizzes during the course really helped to retain and gain a better understanding of each section of the course. I would highly recommend this course!

The range and depth of theoretical knowledge and case studies, along with access to the Business Academy, are such that I feel equipped to begin a career as a nutrition coach, and to explore how I can grow further as a coach, scientist and amateaur athlete.

Having been very confused over nutrition for several years, causing a lot of Yo-Yo dieting, I now feel so much more confident in my own and my family's diet and health. Nutrition has always been very important to me, but also a struggle. This has been a really easy to follow, very informative course and I'm now excited to be starting the Practical course so I can help as many other people as possible

The Foundation Academy was incredible science focussed and went into far more detail about utrition than I had anticpated and sparked my love and interest now into the power of sleep. Here's to me posting another in a year when I pass the Practical Academy.
