⚠️Disclaimer
What you must know!
-
This course is not designed to qualify participants as dietitians or to use the title of a ‘dietitian’. Becoming a dietitian requires a minimum of five years of formal education at a recognized college or university. This typically includes pursuing advanced degrees such as a Master’s in Food & Nutrition, Food Science, or Dietetics, complemented by a practical internship in a hospital setting.
Please note that our program does not support or advocate for short-term crash courses that claim to certify individuals as dietitians in an unrealistic timeframe. Our aim is to provide foundational knowledge and skills, not to replace the extensive education and certification required for dietetics professionals.
