| Nutritional Therapy
Today |
|
| As interest in the field of nutrition has
exploded in recent years so the role of the Nutritional Therapist has become
more in demand. More than ever it has become essential for training to be of
the highest standard and progressively more evidence based in order to gain
credibility with peer professions. |
|
| There
are no training or qualification standards required at government level for
Nutritional Therapists to adhere to. However, the industry has sought to
develop its own standards over the past few years.
|
|
| The College of Natural Therapy has been
active in achieving these standards being a founder member of The Nutritional
Therapy Council (NTC). | | | Nutritional Therapy is now recognised as a
profession in its own right with recently approved national occupation
standards (NOS). |
|
|
| The course content of our
Nutritional Therapy Diploma ensures that the graduating therapist meets these
standards along with the educational and clinical hour requirements of the
core
curriculum recommended by the NTC, the emerging governing body of nutritional
therapy.
|
|
| Of
course for those who wish to practise as a Nutritional Therapist becoming
full
trained to the required level is only just the beginning. The ability to
market oneself and, for the more ambitious, to develop business building
skills
are the final steps to becoming successful in practice. |
