Common questions
Who is this course for?
Coaches, doctors, dietitians and health professionals who want to deepen their nutrition knowledge through evidence-based learning.
I already have a certification. Is this useful for me?
Yes. Build on it by working through client plateaus, weight regain, supplement questions, viral claims and the practical constraints of Indian clients, with live case reviews.
Do I need to have clients already?
No. The business module covers finding your first 10 clients, outreach and onboarding. You can then apply what you learn to those cases.
Are the classes recorded or live?
Both. All recorded course modules unlock at once. Live lectures are also recorded and available on the platform afterwards.
How do I get personalised feedback?
Join the live Q&A calls and client case reviews. Bring a real client case, a question or a nutrition claim you want to work through.
How much time should I set aside?
Two to four hours a week, or about 30 minutes a day. Study the recorded modules around your schedule.
Who teaches the course?
Lecturers with PhDs, medical doctors and nutritionists with master’s degrees. The science modules are taught by people who work in the field.
What language is it taught in?
English, with captions on the videos.
Do I get a certificate?
Yes. You receive an evidence-based nutritionist certificate after meeting the course’s eligibility and assessment requirements.
