What certifications are there for nutrition?

Nutrition is a wildly popular course and it can be found in any major university in Ireland. As a result, there are many different qualifications of varying specificity and quality. NTOI (Nutritional Therapists of Ireland) is a well-known association that recognises and trains nutritional therapists. Their website provides a list of recognised courses that aren’t necessarily better than each other but do ensure NTOI recognition. Recognition can only be given after studying Nutrition for at least three years and if you take classes in clinical practice. In summary, the best way to get a quality certification for nutrition is to follow the guidelines from NTOI or inquire at a university!

What do nutrition tutors actually teach you?

Nutrition covers a wide range of things. However, it is essentially learning how to make healthy sustainable choices throughout your life and if you want to go down the route of a Nutritionist, how to host classes to teach other people. The point of this article is not to teach you all you need but to advise on you what you may expect, with this in mind you could be taught concepts like the relation between the volume of the food, with its density and how much effect will it have on making you feel full! One of the most challenging aspects of being healthy or losing weight is the desire to feel full, so knowing how to eat enough (but not too much) while still feeling full is a great skill. nutrition classes don’t just teach you what foods to eat but also how to budget or acquire healthy foods without them being cost-prohibitive. Elements like this are often taught in nutrition classes but there is so much more than that, this barely scratched the surface.

Can you teach yourself nutrition?

The basic answer is that yes you can teach yourself nutrition to a certain degree and if you think about it we all have taught ourselves some of it. Our parents from a young age tell us what is healthy and unhealthy, what portion sizes should look like and how to take care of ourselves. However, when it comes to food it gets very easy to trick ourselves into thinking we’re eating a lot better than we actually are. It doesn’t help that when we eat out or shop we don’t really know what we’re putting into our bodies. The best thing to do is learn how to read a label, to keep loose track of your eating habits to make sure you’re eating well by your own standards. Once we note what we’re eating, it can be shocking to find out the amount of stuff we might be eating. Furthermore, there are many resources online and there is an entire industry to tell people how they should be eating. As a result, if you want to self-teach Nutrition you have to analyse your sources and this can take a lot of work. Taking nutrition classes with a trusted institution is the best way to ensure you’re learning the right things!

How do lessons work on Superprof

If you’ve ever had to study or go to school online it's very similar to that. You can talk to your tutor through the chat system before a lesson to organise the time, price etc. From there, your tutor will decide whether to host the lessons on Superprof’s web call system or another system. Once a lesson is completed your payment will go to the tutor. However, if for whatever reason your tutor doesn’t show, you won’t have to pay, furthermore, it depends on the tutor but there is a period where you can cancel a lesson without any payment as long as there is a warning.
