Who are these qualifications in Nutritional Therapy, Nutrition Coaching and Health Coaching for?

These qualifications are delivered exclusively in partnership with the College of Naturopathic Medicine (CNM). In the GA Level 6 Diploma in Nutritional Therapy, candidates will be provided with the core knowledge needed to become a nutritional therapist. This includes an in-depth exploration of human anatomy, physiology and pathology, as well as key aspects of conventional laboratory testing and pharmacology. In the GA Level 5 Diploma in Health Coaching, candidates will explore human anatomy, physiology, and pathology, with a focus on understanding how bodily systems work together, and examine essential concepts within the field of nutrition, including food composition and the role of diet in both health and disease in various life stages. They will also develop their understanding of the concept of fitness for health and the importance of movement and exercise in disease prevention, the theories behind different exercise types, and the impact of these on physiology within key body systems so they are prepared to successfully individualised exercise recommendations for clients. In the GA Level 5 Diploma in Nutrition Coaching, candidates will complete a similar programme of learning to the above Level 5 Diploma in Health Coaching, with more focus on advanced nutrition. This includes different popular dietary models and specialist content relating to the process of digestion, absorption and utilisation of nutrients. The GA Level 5 Diploma in Nutrition Coaching also covers the role of nutrition in energy metabolism and weight management. All these qualifications are centred around the observation of experienced practitioners. Candidates will take on their own clients and their competency skills are assessed, including case taking skills. Candidates will observe, and be supervised by, experienced health and wellness coaches. The principles of successful health/nutrition coaching and therapy businesses and an exploration of the theories and approaches to marketing, public relations and promotion are also included. Courses leading to these qualifications are endorsed by a wide range of leading industry associations, membership institutions and representative bodies internationally (including in the UK and Ireland, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Cyprus, the Netherlands and South Africa).
