Admission Requirements

No prior education in health or nutrition is required to enrol in either program.

Courses open one at a time and progress from foundational concepts to advanced principles. All science is taught in plain language and applied to client case studies from the first course.

Enrolment is open to anyone 18 or older, with no entrance exams or application essays. Tier 1 is open to all applicants, and Tier 2 follows Tier 1, either later or together as the full two-tier program.

Program Delivery

All programs are delivered through the online student portal, available any time and from any location, with students in more than 30 countries.

The portal works on a computer, tablet or smartphone. Course materials include ebooks, handouts, videos and audio files, and all assignments and exams are submitted online.

Study is self-paced. Most students complete each tier in 6 to 12 months, students studying close to full time often finish in about 6 months, and each tier has a maximum of 12 months.

Practitioner instructors, the student support team and a worldwide student community support every course.

Advanced Standing

Health and nutrition professionals, and students transferring from another program, may receive transfer credit for up to 25% of the program. Credit applies to post-secondary courses that meet the Institute’s equivalency standards and those of its accrediting bodies, most often Anatomy and Physiology and Nutrition Sciences.

To apply, send official transcripts to admissions@nutraphoria.com before enrolling. Transfer credits are assessed before registration and cannot be added after enrolment.

Health coaches who graduated from another school can ask admissions about the Coach to Holistic Nutritionist Pathway, which includes a full credit assessment and a direct route into the Holistic Nutritionist Diploma.

    What Our Grads Have to Say About the Program

    Common Questions Before You Enrol

    Here at the NutraPhoria Integrative Health Institute, we combine a deeply holistic, whole-person philosophy of health with the depth, structure, and credibility of respected practitioner training.

    Many schools give students information.  We focus on helping you learn how to think through health in a more connected and practitioner-ready way.  You are taught through structured methods that help you connect symptoms, body systems, lifestyle and health stories in a more organized and clinically useful way.  Information is not hard to come by.  Knowing how it use it is.

    Rather than expecting every student to begin and grow in the same way, our 2-Tiered pathway allows you the choice to start slow and decide how far you want to go with your education once you complete the first level.  This flexibility takes the pressure off and makes the experience feel more personalized to your unique journey and goals.

    There are no prerequisites required.

    The program is built for all levels, from complete beginners to experienced wellness professionals. We take you step by step through the foundations and into practice-ready skills, so you’ll graduate with the knowledge and confidence to work with clients.

    What matters most is your passion for health and your desire to help others.

    That’s a common concern we hear often.

    Choosing a new career is a big decision. What we’ve seen is that students who feel drawn to holistic health often discover that this isn’t just a job, but a calling. This is where our unique 2-Tier structure and the flexibility of our programs come into play.  You can start small with Tier 1, explore the material, and decide how far you’d like to go.

    Statistically speaking, over 75% of our Tier 1 graduates ultimately enrol in Tier 2.

    Yes! Most of our students work full-time, have children, own businesses or any combination of the three.  The flexible nature of the curriculum makes it easily fit into any schedule.

    Not at all.

    Most of our students come from diverse backgrounds; some are nurses or yoga instructors, while others are parents or professionals ready for a career change.

     

    Many students begin in their forties and fifties, and some in their sixties. Life experience is an asset in this work, because clients often trust a practitioner who understands their stage of life.

    Most students complete each tier in 6 to 12 months, and students who study close to full time often complete a tier in about 6 months. Each tier has a maximum completion time of 12 months.

    Tier 1 leads to the Registered Holistic Nutrition Counsellor (RHNC) and Registered Health Coach (RHC) designations through HCA. The full two-tier program leads to the Registered Holistic Nutrition Practitioner (RHNP) designation through GAIN and eligibility for Board Certification in Holistic Nutrition (BCHN) through NANP.
