- Full day (or 2 half days if delivered online) which allows for a comprehensive approach

This is in addition to the role play within the training and provides more in depth feedback and practice time. The add on is £75 if booked with the training, or £100 if booked at a later date.

Yes, the course is CPD endorsed by the Association for Nutrition – endorsement number EN263.
What has been said about this training:
The course offered the right balance between theory and hands-on experience and it gave me a broad overview of what are the key components of an effective nutritional consultation. It was packed with precious tips and helpful resources and it gave me more motivation to continue practicing and develop my skills. Aliya was professional and approachable, and the training was conducted in an enjoyable and stress free way. Angela Foscan, ANutr
“Very good training, good group size, very interactive and everything was covered without feeling like too much information” Amy Murphy, ANutr
“Very well designed and presented. Much more confident going forward, thank you! Examples very helpful.” Sarah, ANutr
What has been said about the add-on session?
“The 1-1 practise session was a really important experience as it allowed me to explore my strengths and weaknesses working with a close-to-real-life client. Aliya gave detailed constructive feedback which will play an integral role in shaping my future consultations (which I hope to deliver). I would recommend this for people who are unsure of how to conduct their own 1-1 sessions as it will require you to consider everything from the small details, such as particular language and phrases used, to how you apply your knowledge in a practical setting – something a lot of us weren’t taught during our degrees.” Rosanna Flynn, ANutr
Aliya’s “Setting up a Nutrition Consultancy” was incredibly structured, interactive and very helpful. I had no idea where to begin and attending the course has been so helpful for laying out the steps that need to be taken. I also had a 1-1 add on where I was able to ask Aliya follow up questions for an hour which I highly recommend. If you are thinking about setting up your own nutrition business definitely book in for both the course and add-on!” – Anonymous, Registered Associate Nutritionist
