All courses brought forward for certification must have content that reflects current nutrition research, including the evidence-based, bioscience basis of nutritional therapy, which recognises that nutrition and lifestyle choices affect health outcomes and that each individual has their own unique nutritional needs.

Additionally, the courses should include:

a) assessment of learning and clinical practice relevant to the skills being developed, leading to a completion certificate OR

b) demonstrates and assesses experiential learning relevant to nutrition professionals, leading to a completion certificate.

NTEC Certified post-qualification training does not imply that learners will be trained as Nutritional Therapists, qualified to work in a therapeutic capacity with clients, or eligible for registration as Nutritional Therapists. Furthermore, NTEC’s role will be to quality assure that post-qualification courses are achieving their intended outcomes.

All courses successfully achieving NTEC Certification for Post-Qualification Training will be automatically awarded BANT CPD with listing and promotion as part of BANT recognised CPD without the need to formally apply to BANT.
