FAQs
How long will it take?As a Personal Trainer you have access to your clients for only a few hours per week, limiting the effect you can have with them. By offering nutrition coaching as an additional service alongside your exercise coaching you open the door to far better results with clients, leading to better testimonials and more clients over time. Nutrition Coaching is also something you can offer as a separate service, enabling you to enter the online marketplace
Nutrition coaching should always be sold as a stand-alone product or package within a business, and so those who aren’t personal trainers are just as capable of offering a nutrition coaching service as those who are. If you have no interest in working with people in a gym environment but want to help change lives through health and nutritional management then this course can help you do just that.
This is a really common sentiment, but it's extremely understandable for two reasons.
- Biology is hard
- Biology is often taught in a way that isn't very engaging
We can't promise that the more in depth anatomy and physiology on our course is easy, but we can promise that we make it as engaging as possible, deliver it in multiple different styles, limit it to only what you NEED to know, and are continually on hand to help and support your understanding. Our course is a million miles away from "read this in a book then recite it in an exam or you fail" so don't worry if you don't consider yourself to be scientifically minded.
The barrier is almost always in the teaching, not in the student, and we make it our mission to support you however you need us to.

What trusted industry figures recommend us?
Ben Newbould
Velocity PT
We get asked by a number of our Personal Training graduates where they can further their education in the field of nutrition. Through extensive research in the area, we have chosen to recommend BTN Academy. This is because we believe that the level and depth of their syllabus is comprehensive and also practical for nutritional coaches. The syllabus is taught by industry professionals and well-educated lecturers in their field and also you are gaining an accredited qualification.
Dan Salcombe
iPT founder
I recommend the BTN Academy to any personal trainer who wants to improve their knowledge and practical skills when it comes to nutrition coaching. Unlike a lot of other nutrition courses, BTN goes beyond nutrition and into what really gets results for clients; behaviour change. Then, they really set themselves apart by teaching you how to build an ethical and profitable nutrition coaching program for your business.
Rachel France
Biomechanics Education
Something that struck me upon meeting and interacting with Ben Coomber several years ago, was his integrity. As one of my own education companies core values I viewed this with huge respect as my 30yrs of industry experience has taught me this is a rare quality. Investing in education can be scary for many, so choose wisely. We recommend anyone interested in nutrition education to BTN because of their integrity, teaching quality, and standards.
Brian Keane
PT mentor
I send so many of my business mentees to the BTN academy. I know they'll be looked after and educated on not only the aspects of nutrition, but on how best to implement it with their own clients. The modules on how to use an evidence backed approach and navigate through the amount of online nutritional misconceptions is invaluable to anybody who wants to expand their own knowledge on nutrition. I highly recommend it for any personal trainers looking to better serve their clients or any individual looking to expand on their own nutritional knowledge
Kevin Mantle

Knowing their courses are accredited by highly respected awarding bodies. I have referred any of our learners to the BTN Academy who wish to taking their knowledge in nutrition to the next level.
