This qualification will enable learners to develop their knowledge of healthy eating to analyse their client’s nutritional habits and to be able to offer healthy eating advice linked to their clients’ exercise and lifestyle goals. During the qualification, learners will cover the following:
As the saying goes, you are what you eat – and it couldn’t be more accurate. Nutrition plays a significant role in our lives, but few people know how to maintain a healthy diet. As a fitness coach and nutrition specialist, your job will involve working with clients to improve their physical fitness but also helping them to develop better habits.
According to a study by Harvard, most diets don’t work – or they succeed for the first year, but then people find they regain the weight. Why? Because dieting is restrictive in nature and almost impossible for people to follow.
Being a nutrition expert isn’t about depriving your clients; it’s about helping them find the right balance.
Athletes are more active than the average person, which means they need a special diet plan to ensure they get the vital vitamins, minerals and nutrients to maintain their athletic performance. You’ll learn about how food can fuel the body and be able to identify the food groups that slow it down.
For some people, the struggle with weight management can seem like a never-ending battle. Conditions such as hypothyroidism, Cushing’s Disease and Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome are known to cause weight gain, but nutrition coaching gives you all the skills you need to help people with conditions lose weight safely.
There’s a lot more emphasis on healthy eating for children now, and the days of chicken nuggets and turkey Twizzlers being a parents staple are fading. If you have a qualification in nutrition science, you can apply that knowledge to deliver a diverse range of programmes for both parents and children.
Fitness professionals have many responsibilities, and clients often expect the complete package. Both vegan and vegetarian diets have benefits, but meat restriction can often lead to an excessive intake of carbohydrates.
Our comprehensive nutrition courses can equip you with extensive knowledge on how to help people with all dietary needs enjoy a wholesome and healthy diet.

Program learning outcomes and content
How much you earn depends on the courses you take and the certifications you gain. Many of our students go on to enjoy a successful career across health centres and weight loss clinics. In general, a personal trainer with nutritional knowledge can charge between £25-£40 hourly for one to one diet consultations.
If you combine nutritional support with personal training, you could earn £80 an hour. So, as you can see, the earning potential is massive.
All of our general and sports nutrition courses are home study-based to learn at your own pace. We recommend you spend between 6-10 hours a week on your course because it’s essential to gain a thorough understanding of obesity prevention and circumstances that might impact a person’s weight.
Our online courses don’t just provide you with essential knowledge about fitness and nutrition; they give you all the tools you’ll need to build a successful career. Through interactive e-learning and a commitment to give you the best experience possible, we’re a training provider that puts you first.
Our expert tutors are always available to offer support and guidance, so while you won’t be in the classroom, you won’t miss out on a full learning experience.
With a personal tutor on hand to help you learn with us, we ensure that you are not alone during your studies.
