Who It’s For

Why Do This Course

Add Nutrition To What You Already Do

Train clients already? Food is the half they keep asking about. Meal plans, weight loss, hydration, supplements and nutrient timing for muscle growth. You get to answer with confidence.

Move Into Health And Fitness Work

This course is built for fitness enthusiasts and personal trainers, and it starts with how food affects health. Video lessons, a one-on-one mentor, and 60 hours of guided study to get you grounded.

Eat Better At Home Too

The headlines about food never agree. Learn how our bodies and health are shaped by what we eat, then make smarter choices for yourself and the people you cook for.

Where The Skills Fit

Where These Skills Could Take You

Food comes up in every fitness conversation. Skills like these get used in gyms, studios and coaching work. The day to day is easy to picture: talking through what a client eats now, sorting their food around training, and writing the plan.

Health And Fitness Coach

Coaching people on food and training together, which is what most clients want from you anyway.

Personal Trainer

The nutrition half of the job: pre and post workout food, hydration, supplements and weight loss advice you can stand behind.

Nutrition Coaching On The Side

A few clients of your own, around your other work. Assessing diets and writing meal plans is the skill it runs on.

Roles where these skills are useful, not promised outcomes. Every role is different, and some need more study or experience. Nutritionist and naturopathy paths need accredited study on top.

Why This One

What Makes It Different

What to eat before, during and after exercise. Hydration around a session, nutrient timing for muscle growth, and the basics of sports and health supplements.

02

Intermittent fasting, the ketogenic diet, carbohydrate loading, and balancing extremes. You come out with a clear view instead of a pile of conflicting advice.

03
From Assessing A Diet To Writing The Plan

You learn how to look at a person's current diet, then write a meal plan from it. That is the part clients pay for.

Lifetime Access, No Deadline

Common Questions

Who is this course for?

It is built for fitness enthusiasts and personal trainers, and for anyone who wants a clearer view of food and health. Lessons are step-by-step video modules with a mentor behind you, so you can put the learning to use at work or at home.

How long does the course take?

Around 60 study hours, at your own pace. Access is lifetime, so there is no deadline. You can come back to the material after you finish.

What does it cost each week?

The weekly plan is $15 a week, interest-free with no credit check. Enquire for the full payment options, including pay-in-four with Afterpay and upfront.

How are assessments done?

Short-answer and multiple-choice, built to help you understand rather than test you against the clock. You can retake them as many times as you need, and marking comes back within one business day.

What do I get when I finish?

A Course Completion Acknowledgement, a short-form credential for Advanced Nutrition Cred, 11 CPD points, and a Credly digital badge you can share on LinkedIn.

Is this course accredited?

It is CPD endorsed, which is accreditation for professional development: you finish with 11 CPD points employers recognise, plus a Credly digital badge. It is not a nationally recognised qualification. That is a different thing, and the food skills here still get used every day in fitness and coaching work.

Can I get my money back if it is not for me?

Yes. There is a 7-day cooling-off period. You can switch to another course or get your money back.
