Tier 2 Advanced Holistic Nutritionist Diploma Program

The NutraPhoria School of Holistic Nutrition is unique in that we offer two distinct, yet complementary levels of education in the field of holistic nutrition. In total there are seven terms split between two program levels in which a variety of topics are covered under a main theme in each term:

Tier 1 Training (Term 1-4): Holistic Nutrition & Health Coach program

Tier 2 Training (Term 4-7): Advanced Holistic Nutritionist practitioner program

The Holistic Nutritionist practitioner program builds on what you learn in the level one training, diving deeper into advanced subjects. The prerequisite for Tier 2 is Tier 1. Both programs are recognized globally allowing you to obtain professional membership and a registered designation. More details about this can be found further down the page.

Many of our students find that what they learn in the Holistic Nutrition & Health Coach Certification (Tier 1) is perfect for what they want to do as a practitioner and they go on to start a successful business or begin working for an employer.

Others decide to go even further in their education to be able to work with more complex cases and a wider range of clients and to obtain deeper knowledge. Tier 2 can be completed after Tier 1 and while working as a Holistic Nutrition & Health Coach. It is an effective structure that students absolutely love because it allows you to gain confidence and hands-on experience while continuing your schooling.

You can choose to enroll in both tiers at the same time, which saves you money on tuition overall versus enrolling in each as a separate program and gives you a full twelve months to complete each program (average completion time falls around 18 months). Or, you can enroll in tier 1 first and tier 2 later down the road after you have completed the first program. What route you choose should reflect what your overall aspirations are as a practitioner, the level of skill and knowledge you want, and the complexity of client issues you want to be able to work with.
