This fully accredited diploma qualifies you for entry to the Diploma Course in Nutritional Therapy. It also enables you to be insured to practise (although we do regard this as an interim situation), allowing you to work professionally and build both your confidence and client base while continuing to study to become a Nutritional Therapist. It gives you the skills required to work with clients, to assess their dietary needs and provide dietary plans to optimise health and help to prevent disease. Suitable for: At Raworth we do not grant admissions solely on a candidate's academic background. We also look for qualities such as interpersonal skills, a naturally therapeutic mind-set, and a personality that is clearly suited to the courses we offer. Furthermore, we accept students of all ages and backgrounds, from all over the UK and from abroad and actively employ an equal opportunities policy.
