No, unless you think your knowledge of Nutrition is at starter level, then I would suggest completing this course first. The Introduction to Nutrition course is based on our course creators Cyndi O’Meara’s book Changing Habits Changing Lives (Now called- Lab To Table), if you are not familiar with this book or the philosophy, then we suggest starting at this level or familiarising yourself with the content of Lab To Table Book.

Our Introduction to Nutrition and Microbiome courses can be started anytime during the year. Our  Functional Nutrition Course has 6 intakes a year, contact us today to find out the next enrolment date.

Our courses are not accredited with any governing body you will receive a certificate of completion at the end of each course. If you wish to become a Nutritionist or Dietitian a degree in Nutrition from a university is required for this. 

The Functional Nutrition Course is an Approved Training Provider with IICT which means we have Professional Recognition and our students and graduates qualify for membership and Insurance through IICT as a Nutrition Consultant.

Most of our graduates go onto starting their own business as a Health or Wellness Coach, we have a business course on offer on completion to help with the foundations of setting up your own business and is tailored for this industry if you need.
At the end of Applied Functional Nutrition course you have the option to do our bonus module (Functional Nutrition Consultant Program) where you can choose to become a Functional Nutrition Consultant and use resources and information from our sister company “Changing Habits”. To either become a Wholesaler, an affiliate or run workshops using the 6 Week to Change Workshop slides we give you at completion, or you can choose to be all of the above.
You also have the option to attend our yearly practical weekend “Day with Cyndi” held on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland where participants can learn how to utilise the information in the course to help mentor their friends, family and communities and learn all the components of being a Functional Nutrition Consultant. There are endless possibilities of how you can utilise your skills and learnings at the end and turn them into a career working within the nutrition industry, it just depends on what it is you would like to do and what path you wish to go down.
