While I am already in the Health industry in another field, I found this course added a more in-depth perspective to health from a cellular point of view and clearly linked the importance of nutrition and the incidence of chronic disease. I also found the on- line accessibility user friendly. Emma Rubio, Health Coach Spain I studied the Health and Nutrition certificate first with the Plaskett College to see if what it was taught matched my believes. At the end of that certificate I decided to pursue my studies with Plaskett college to become a Nutritional therapist. For that, I am studying Nutritional medicine and Iridology. During the Health & Nutrition certificate I learnt already about supplements. Now I know which type is best and most absorbable by our body, and the combinations to keep minerals in balance. Thus, I am more confident when I choose supplements for me and my family. I liked that the founder Dr. Plaskett was a doctor in Biochemistry. My background is in science and I wanted to study both the biochemical and the holistic sides of nutrition. I am happy to have a mentor to answer my doubts, and get my assignments reviewed. I like the flexibility they gave me to complete my first certificate. I love the subjects and the way is explained. Catherine Rogers Henley-On-Thames, UK I have found this course extremely enjoyable, user friendly and insightful. The information covered throughout the course was up to date and provided a holistic approach, educating students on nutrition at multiple levels. I found the content of the course easy to read and understand but also challenging when it needed to be. For someone with no prior knowledge of nutrition it was perfect yet was still applicable to student who had prior knowledge on the subjects covered. The course started with the basics to improve your base level understanding and built up the course week by week. Material was extremely user friendly. Materials could be studied through the course book provided or downloaded which was extremely useful for traveling! The tutors provided fantastic feedback. They explained when I got things wrong and were always happy to help. Their contact time was great too. I have thoroughly enjoyed this course on so many levels and I would recommend it to
