Course Frequently Asked Questions

What is the average duration of this course? This course has been accredited at 620 hours. We recommend studying a minimum of 7 hours per week. You have up to 18 months to complete. Learners take on average 12 months to complete, studying at their own pace.

Are there assignments, exams and case studies? How is the course assessed? At the end of most of the modules there will be some type of assignment, usually short essay style, Q&A or self-reflection. There is also an end of course knowledge review. All learners have to undertake 25 coaching sessions, which constitutes your case studies. We give ample training prior to this, and help our learners to access people looking to volunteer. Learners who do not attend 120 hours of live teaching sessions will also have to attend a Viva at the end of the course.

Do you provide client forms and programmes? We provide you with a wide range of client forms, covering both coaching and nutrition. Whilst you are free to use these, we always encourage you to create your own when you know how you best work. We also provide some generic programmes for you, and again, we provide these to use, but more importantly to show you how to create your own that are unique to you, and what you offer. Working generically is not the best way when it comes to working with clients, and we teach you how to tailor the programmes to suit your clients. We also teach how to work with companies that will provide you with blood testing and diagnostic services, so that you can offer an even fuller service to your clients.

What support do you offer? We pride ourselves in offering the best support around! As well as fortnightly supervised online peer support groups, we offer monthly supervision, and pastoral support. We also have a thriving online peer support platform, where our students, mentors and graduates offer each other support. For those who can visit us in Manchester, we offer regular face-to-face networking events at our beautiful Monastery venue. We have a student support team to help you with the day-to-day questions, and tutors are available for anything technical.

Do I need to attend live sessions? We offer live weekly teaching sessions on Zoom, and to enable you to join the UKIHCA as a full member, you need to attend 120 hours of live sessions over the period of your course. We run a weekly session each Thursday from 7pm until 8/30/9pm, plus additional workshops, peer support groups, mentoring groups, and supervision groups, at various times, to allow as many learners as possible the opportunity to attend some live sessions.

Why is your course considerably less than others with similar accreditations? We are quite unique in that we are a not-for-profit training company. Because we do not have to pay out dividends to shareholders, we can keep our course fees low. We also do not employ sales people to sell our courses. If you book a call to discuss a course, you will speak to one of our actual course tutors, who are best placed to give you the most accurate advice about the course and the industry, and don't follow a script.

Which organisations can I join? Upon successful completion of the course, if you have attended 120 hours of live sessions, you will be eligible to join the UKIHCA as a FULL member. If you have not met the 120 hours criteria, you can join them as an affiliate. You can also join IICT, IPHM, FNTP, and we also recommend you join the Nutrition Society.
