What has been said about this training:

The course offered the right balance between theory and hands-on experience and it gave me a broad overview of what are the key components of an effective nutritional consultation. It was packed with precious tips and helpful resources and it gave me more motivation to continue practicing and develop my skills. Aliya was professional and approachable, and the training was conducted in an enjoyable and stress free way. Angela Foscan, ANutr

“Very good training, good group size, very interactive and everything was covered without feeling like too much information” Amy Murphy, ANutr

“Very well designed and presented. Much more confident going forward, thank you! Examples very helpful.” Sarah, ANutr

What has been said about the add-on session?

“The 1-1 practise session was a really important experience as it allowed me to explore my strengths and weaknesses working with a close-to-real-life client. Aliya gave detailed constructive feedback which will play an integral role in shaping my future consultations (which I hope to deliver). I would recommend this for people who are unsure of how to conduct their own 1-1 sessions as it will require you to consider everything from the small details, such as particular language and phrases used, to how you apply your knowledge in a practical setting – something a lot of us weren’t taught during our degrees.” Rosanna Flynn, ANutr
