Is There a Difference Between Dietician and Nutrition Courses?2024-07-03T11:20:42+01:00

Yes, the two courses are different. A Level 5 Sports Nutrition course will equip you to design meal plans and give nutritional advice to a range of clients. However, only a Registered Dietician can prescribe a diet plan in a medical capacity.

This is because ‘Dietician’ is a legally protected title and refers to people who hold an advanced degree.

Most students who complete our Nutritionist course online go on to start their own businesses. Typically, they’ll advertise themselves as a ‘Nutrition Coach’ or ‘Nutrition Advisor’.

The job title ‘Nutritionist’ is not a protected term and so there are multiple titles that you can use to promote your services once qualified.

How Long Does it Take to Complete Your Level 5 Certificate in Nutrition?2024-07-03T11:04:16+01:00

Exactly how long it takes to complete this course depends on a number of factors. This includes how much time you can dedicate to studying per week, and whether you have any prior understanding of the topics.

On average, it takes our students 12 weeks to complete their online nutrition courses.
