Nutritional Therapy Education Commission

Setting and advancing the standards for nutritional therapy practice

as a science-based professional discipline.

NTEC Accredited Courses

The Nutritional Therapy Education Commission (NTEC) accredits courses against the Nutritional Therapy Core Curriculum and the National Occupational Standards (NOS). We welcome contact from independent colleges and universities that wish to develop or submit existing courses.

Nutritional Therapy

Registered Nutritional Therapy Practitioners assess and identify potential nutritional imbalances and understand how these may contribute to an individual’s symptoms and health concerns. Practitioners consider each person unique and recommend personalised nutrition and lifestyle programmes rather than a ‘one size fits all’ approach.

Train in Nutritional Therapy

Graduates from NTEC Accredited courses work in one-to-one clinical practice, with groups, in wider industry and academia, using the most up-to-date nutrition and lifestyle medicine sciences.

Nutritional therapy is the application of nutrition and lifestyle medicine sciences in

the promotion of health, peak performance and individual care.
