Welcome to our Nutrition CPD Courses

Continuing professional development (CPD) involves ongoing learning to enhance and refine your professional skills. This can include developing new knowledge and skills that build on your strengths, and/or developing areas where you are less confident or competent. Here at the BTN Academy, our Nutrition CPD courses have been developed to allow you to develop cutting-edge nutrition knowledge that aligns with the latest professional standards and research base. Our programmes are led by industry experts so you can rest assured you’re getting the best education possible.

Our Nutrition CPD courses are suitable for anyone interested in expanding or refining their nutritional knowledge, regardless of whether this is for your own knowledge, or to advance your coaching career. All of our nutrition CPD courses are individual units within our larger Advanced Nutrition Coaching Course, allowing students to take a more modular and bitesize approach to their learning. That’s why we call it the bitesize academy!

Each of the CPD course below focus on a different area of health and wellbeing that can be enhanced through more appropriate diet and nutrition practices. These courses explore the current research base and present practical solutions to improve health, fitness, wellbeing and performance outcomes for clients. Or yourself if you are taking the course for you!

Each course is led by a different tutor, each of whom is a leading expert in their respective field.  You can be assured that that whichever subject(s) you choose to study, you will be taught by one of the best nutrition and health educators in the sector.

Why complete one of our continuing professional development courses?

Taking your knowledge up a level...

CPD courses are important for helping you to improve your technical knowledge and  workplace skills, so that you can ensure you stay up to date with the latest research, and align your practices with industry standards.

These types of course also help you to demonstrate to your clients and/or an employer that you are committed to professional and personal development, and that you are focused on providing a higher quality and level of support and service to your clients.

When you choose the BTN Academy for your  nutrition CPD courses, you’re guaranteed to become an altogether more confident and competent nutrition coach,  making you more adaptable and resourceful at tackling the many challenges presented by your clients.

Our CPD courses help to ensure that you develop both the academic and practical skills you need to become the best nutrition professional you can be, ensuring your knowledge and skills do not become outdated in a fast-paced and ever-changing industry.

Top three reasons for completing a BTN Academy Nutrition CPD Course

To some extent, every student has their own individual and unique reasons for completing one of our nutrition CPD courses. Some have an insatiable appetite to keep on learning so that they can become an expert in their craft, others want to learn more in a specific area because they have had their own health challenges. We’ve listed the top 3 reasons below, but there are many more positive reasons to complete a BTN Academy Nutrition CPD course.

CIMSPA are the professional body for the United Kingdom’s sport and physical activity sector. If you work in the health and fitness industry and are a CIMSPA member, you are required to complete ten points worth of continuing professional development per year to show that you are staying up to date with industry standards and knowledge.

The BTN Academy’s Nutrition CPD Courses can be completed by industry professionals to collect points towards their CIMSPA membership. Our Nutrition CPD Course is reviewed and rewritten every two years to ensure we stay current with the latest science, so we can guarantee that our students are continually improving their knowledge with the most recent research.

For many, CPD courses are about personal growth. This can look like studying a subject that has always interested you, or developing skills in an area you’re passionate about. Our Nutrition CPD Courses allow you to choose which areas of nutrition you would like to focus on, affording you the ability to structure your own personal development.

These courses are perfect for those working in the industry that might be looking to fill gaps in their knowledge, such as fitness instructors, personal trainers or nutrition coaches.

They are ideal for those looking to explore topics they haven’t studied before, or learn more about certain populations, such as clients with diabetes, PCOS or intolerances. A more well-rounded knowledge of nutrition makes for a more well-rounded coach.

CPD courses are the ideal option for people that are looking to progress in their career.

More knowledge, experience and qualifications will give you a competitive advantage within the job market, alongside showing willingness to grow and improve. Our Nutrition CPD Courses will allow you to progress by expanding your knowledge and improving your ability to provide your services will help you stand out amongst your peers.

Perhaps gaining further skills gives you the confidence to move forward on your own: previous BTN Academy students have used the skills gained from our nutrition courses to set up a nutrition coaching business as their main source of income, while others use it as a lucrative and highly rewarding passion project.

Frequently asked questions

We’ve taken 44 modules that make up the majority of our Level 4 Nutrition Coaching Qualification so you can pick and choose a module, or selection of modules, to fill in specific gaps in your knowledge, or focus on a particular topic. Each bite-sized module contains our full 1-2 hour lecture on that topic alongside a PDF version of that chapter from our Nutrition CPD Courses textbook, delivered straight to your email. You’ll get our recorded webinar, that section of our textbook, and any accompanying materials, where relevant, for that module.

N/A

At the end of each Nutrition CPD Course, students will be required to complete a comprehensive multi-choice assessment, designed to assess knowledge and application of knowledge to specific coaching scenarios.

These assessments are graded automatically online, providing students with immediate feedback on their performance. If students do not meet the 70% passing score, they must retake the assessment. However, there are no fees for retaking, and students may attempt the assessment as many times as necessary. We strongly recommend that they consult with the support team before retaking the assessments.
