What training is available in nutritional counseling?

To work as a nutritionist, you can either take the route of studying at a University of Applied Sciences and attend the "Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics" course or complete various other training courses in this field.

Nutritional counseling training can be a course to become a nutrition therapist, nutrition coach or nutrition consultant, all of which differ in structure, focus, duration and recognition.

If you have no previous training in healthcare or alternative/complementary medicine and want to work as a nutritionist full or part-time, you should make sure that your training meets the guidelines for health insurance recognition.
